Abstract:
Catalytic hydrochlorination system comprising at least one amine hydrochloride and at least one group VIII metal compound chosen from the group composed of mixtures of a platinum (IV) compound with tin (II) chloride, mixtures of a platinum (II) compound with triphenylphosphine oxide and mixtures of a palladium (II) compound with triphenylphosphine. This catalytic system is suitable for preparing vinyl chloride by reaction of acetylene with hydrogen chloride.
Abstract:
Process for the manufacture of at least one ethylene derivative compound starting from a low value residual gas, preferably a refinery off-gas (ROG), according to which: a) the low value residual gas is subjected to a series of treatment steps in a low value residual gas recovery unit in order to remove the undesirable components present therein and to obtain a mixture of products containing ethylene and other constituents; b) the mixture of products is fractionated in one fractionation step into one fraction A containing almost all the ethylene, optionally into one individual fraction of ethane, and into one heavy fraction C; and c) the fraction A is conveyed to the manufacture of at least one ethylene derivative compound.

Abstract:
The invention provides a catalyst containing active elements including copper deposited on alumina containing at least 0.03 g of titanium, expressed in metal form, per kg of alumina and use thereof in gas hase reactions, such as the oxychlorination of ethylene to 1,2-dichloroethane. This catalyst is suitable for maintaining a constant oxygen content in the tail gases and hence in the recycled gases. The invention further pertains to the use of an alumina containing at least 0.03g titanium, expressed in metal form, per Kg of alumina, as catalyst support and as catalyst diluent. In an example a catalyst containing CuCl2, MgCl2, KCl and LiCl deposited on alumina containing 1.13 g of titanium, expressed in metal form, per Kg of alumina was used for the oxychlorination of ethylene to 1,2-dichloroethane in a fluidized bed reactor.

Abstract:
Oxychlorination catalyst containing at least copper as an active element deposited on a support characterized in that the support consists essentially of an alumina obtained by calcination of an alumina hydrate obtained as by-product of the ALFOL® linear primary alcohol process and use of such catalyst in an oxychlorination process of a hydrocarbon containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
