A series of alkylorganotin-based catalysts (Sn-g-C3N4/AC) was prepared by wet impregnation in ethanol using different g-C3N4 precursors and alkylorganotin compounds. The structure, texture, surface composition, and adsorption properties of the as-prepared catalysts were extensively characterized. Then, the obtained samples were evaluated for their catalytic performance in hydrochlorination of acetylene. The results provided by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, acetylene temperature-programmed desorption, and HCl adsorption confirmed the nature of the active sites () involved in the reactant adsorption, and hence in the improved catalytic performance. |
