Abstract:

The coconut shell activated carbon was oxidized by HNO3 and calcined at different temperature in the atmosphere of He. It demonstrated that the physical properties of the activated carbons were basically identical before and after different treatments. However, the content of surface oxygen groups, such as phenol and carboxylic, were increased after oxidizing by HNO3 and decreased in the order of carboxyl, phenol and carbonyl after calcing in different temperatures. Taking the above activated carbons as the carrier, two-component catalysts of AuCl3-CuCl2 were prepared by impregnation method. And the catalysts were evaluated by the acetylene hydrochlorination. The results showed that the acetylene conversion rates of the catalysts, which were prepared with the carrier of original activated carbon, pre-treated by HNO3 oxidation and calcined in 400 ℃ for 1 h, could reach above 96%, 98%and 90%, respectively. And they had good reaction stability in 10 h. The acetylene conversion rates dropped sharply to around 30% after 4 h for the AuCl3-CuCl2/He700-C and AuCl3-CuCl2/He1000-C catalysts, whose carriers were calcined in 700 and 1000 ℃. The analysis results by BET, H2-TPR and SEM show that the BET specific surface area decreases mostly, carbon deposition is more serious and active component dispersion is poorer. It prove that the surface oxygen groups, especially for the hydroxyl group, plays an important role in promoting the dispersion of Au, enhancing the stability and reducing the carbon deposition.
