  • Oxychlorination of hydrocarbons in the presence of non-halide copper containing catalysts
    Patent number: 4046821
    Abstract: Copper chloride has been employed as a reagent for oxychlorination of hydrocarbons. It has now been found that a non-halide copper compound in combination with a rare earth compound is an excellent oxychlorination catalyst, e.g. a CuCO.sub.3 - CeO.sub.2 catalyst calcined at 900.degree. C. for 1 hour converted 99 mole % of ethylene fed at a selectivity of 100% to chlorinated products, principally vinyl chloride, ethyl chloride and dichloroethane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 1975
    Date of Patent: September 6, 1977
    Assignee: Petro-Tex Chemical Corporation
    Inventors: Louis J. Croce, Laimonis Bajars, Maigonis Gabliks
