Abstract

An oxychlorination process comprises introducing ethane, an oxygen-containing gas and chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride into a first oxychlorination metal halide catalyst zone operated at a temperature of from 400 to 650 DEG C. to produce a hydrocarbon chloride stream containing predominant quantities of ethylene, introducing gas containing said ethylene, an oxygen-containing gas and chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride into a second oxychlorination metal halide catalyst zone operated at a temperature of from 250 to 400 DEG C. to produce 1,2-dichloroethane. The gaseous product from the second oxychlorination zone may be introduced along with an oxygen-containing gas and chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride into a third oxychlorination metal halide catalyst zone operated at a temperature of from 400 to 650 DEG C. to produce perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene. The main component of the hydrocarbon chloride stream from the first zone, apart from ethylene is vinyl chloride; ethyl chloride, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, dichloroethylene, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, chloroform, methylene chloride and methyl chloride may also be present. The stream may be chilled to remove chlorinated hydrocarbons before the ethylene is fed to the second zone.ALSO:Ethylene is the predominant constituent of a chlorinated hydrocarbon stream produced by introducing ethane, an oxygen-containing gas and chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride into an oxychlorination metal halide catalyst zone operated at a temperature of from 400 DEG to 650 DEG C. The stream may be chilled to condense out the chlorinated hydrocarbons.ALSO:Oxychlorination catalysts comprise: (1) calcined diatomaceous earth pellets 1/4 inch long and 1/4 inch in diameter impregnated with an aqueous solution of cupric chloride and potassium chloride and air dried; (2) calcined diatomaceous earth of particle size 60-100 mesh impregnated with an aqueous solution of cupric chloride and potassium chloride and dried at 140 DEG C. to give a product containing 10% by weight of copper.
