In this study, the novel tin-based catalysts (Sn(II)/PN@AC) were prepared using the phosphorus and nitrogen dual-modified activated carbon as support and SnCl2 as active compounds, as well as then evaluated in acetylene hydrochlorination. Under the reaction temperature of 180°C and an acetylene gas hourly space velocity (GHSV-C2 H2) of 30 h–1, the 15%Sn(II)/PN@AC-550 showed the initial acetylene conversion of 100% and vinyl chloride selectivity over . Additionally, the deactivation rate of 15%Sn(II)/PN@AC-550 reached h–1, which was lower than that of 15%Sn(II)/AC-550 ( h–1), suggesting that PN@AC-550 as novel support can retarded the deactivation of Sn(II)/AC-550 catalysts during acetylene hydrochlorination. |
