Abstract

Abstract:

According to the “Minamata Convention” and environmental protection policy, the development of mercury-free catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination is indispensable and exigent in China. Among all kinds of mercury-free catalysts including noble metal, non-noble metal and non-metallic catalysts, noble metal catalyst is considered to be the most promising catalyst for industrial application. The research progress of Au, Ru, Pd and Pt based catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination in recent years was reviewed, with the emphasis on the active components, catalyst mechanism and modification methods of different catalysts. The effects of different modification methods and the research direction of each catalyst were also analyzed. The use of promoters, ligands and ionic liquids, as well as the modification of supports, can improve the activity and stability of catalysts, and increase their industrial application possibility.

Key words: acetylene hydrochlorination, catalysts, noble metal, activity, ionic liquid

摘要：

受“水俣公约”和环境保护政策约束，研究和开发新型无汞催化剂是保障我国乙炔法制备聚氯乙烯未来发展的核心环节。无汞催化剂包括贵金属催化剂、非贵金属催化剂和非金属催化剂，其中贵金属催化剂被认为是最具有工业化应用前景的催化剂。本文概述了近年来国内外乙炔氢氯化贵金属Au、Ru、Pd和Pt催化剂的研究进展，重点综述了不同催化剂的活性组分、催化机理及催化剂的改性方法等方面的研究，分析了不同改性方法的作用机制及不同催化剂改性的研究方向。研究表明，添加助剂或多金属复配、配体和离子液体的使用及载体改性均使贵金属催化剂的催化活性和稳定性得到一定程度提高，从而进一步增加了贵金属催化剂工业化应用的可能性。
