WE NEEDNON-MERCURY
CATALYST!!
Volatile of mercury compound during reaction.
Mercury catalyst is the major source of environmental issues.
Major problem of acetylene hydrochlorination process
Why we select Au catalyst?

MCln·C2H2 + HCl MCln·C2H3Cl
MCln·C2H3Cl MCln + C2H3Cl
HCl reacts with the C2H2 complex
C2H3Cl desorbs from the surface of catalyst
MCln + C2H2 MCln·C2H2
C2H2 reacts with the catalyst site

Heating at 70°C, 6 hr
Washing by DI, Adjust pH = 7
Dried at 110°C, 24 hr

Material and method
HAuCl3+Aqua regia
Impregnation Dried at110°C, 24 hr
Characterization
XRD technique is able to identify Au0 which indicates the deactivation of catalyst.
It should be noted that other techniques such as BET, XPS and TGA were not employed for catalyst characterization as a corrosive gas could be generated during characterization and become harmful to the equipments.

Conclusion1
2
The optimum of Au loading was 1wt%Au.
The results indicate that the state of Au was changed from Au3+ to Au0 during the reaction for the high Au loading. This might be a reason for the insignificant improvement of acetylene conversion at Au loading of 1.5 and 2wt%. It should be noted that another possibility may be from the poor Au dispersion at high Au loading.
Conclusion
3Gold (III) chloride catalyst shows higher catalytic activity than the commercial catalyst (HgCl2) because of the higher standard electrode potential.

Thank you for your attention
• Electron affinity is based on one electron processMn+ + e- M(n-1)+
• Interaction between C2H2 and metal chloride can be occurred the transfer of more than one electron, so standard electrode potential is more suitable for correlate with catalytic activityMn+ + ne- M
