• 0.2 g of the powdered catalyst according to Example 2 were in a solid bed in a quartz reaction tube (inner diameter 10 mm) at 300 ° C with a gas mixture of 80 ml / min (standard STP conditions) hydrogen chloride and 80 ml / min (STP) oxygen flows through.
• the quartz reaction tube was heated by an electrically heated sand fluid bed. After 30 minutes, the product gas stream was passed for 15 minutes into 16% by weight potassium iodide solution. The resulting iodine was then back titrated with 0, 1 N thiosulfate standard solution to determine the amount of chlorine introduced. A chlorine formation rate of 2.79 kg a2 / kg KAT-h was measured.
• iodine was then back titrated with 0, 1 N thiosulfate standard solution to determine the amount of chlorine introduced. The calculated turnover was 85%.
• a condensed reaction sample was analyzed for the content of Sn by means of ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry, device: Varian Vista-PRO, method according to manufacturer's instructions). The analyzed content of tin was 3 ppm.
