Research progress of catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination
The research and development status of low-mercury catalysts and free-mercury catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination in recent years was reviewed.The active components,catalytic mecha-nisms,and modification methods of mercury-free metal catalysts(precious metals catalysts,non precious metals catalysts,and multiple metals composite catalysts)and mercury-free non-metallic catalysts(carbon based catalysts doped with heteroatoms,ionic liquids,nitrides,etc.)were summarized and evaluated.The development of these catalysts was discussed.
