Abstract:The catalytic oxychlorination of ethylene is widely used for the production of ethylene dichloride (EDC) which is an essential step for the production of poly-vinyl chloride (PVC). However, catalyst entrainment from the fluidization reactor has formed a problem and caused the loss of expensive catalyst powder with the outlet gas, hence less conversion in achieved.
In this research we studied the catalytic oxychlorination of ethylene over the surface of geldart A powder with average particle size of 80 microns.… Show more
