Abstract
An ethylene oxychlorination catalyst in granular form, consisting of CuCl.sub.2 supported on an alumina carrier, displaying a cylindrical configuration with trilobed cross-section provided with three through-bores equidistant from each other, each of which through-bores has its axis parallel to the axis of the cylindrical granule.
Claims18
A supported catalyst having the form of cylindrical granules for 1,2-dichloroethane synthesis by fixed-bed oxychlorination of ethylene, the catalyst comprising copper chloride as its active component, the copper chloride being supported on the granules, and the granules comprising alumina, characterized in that each granule displays at least three through-bores having axes which are substantially parallel to each other and to the axes of the granule, and substantially equidistant from each other.
