Abstract

Five different support materials were modified with 5 wt.% Cu, using an evaporation impregnation method. The synthesized CuCl 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 , CuCl 2 /TiO 2 (Hombikat), CuCl 2 /TiO 2 (Alfa Aesar), CuCl 2 /SiO 2 and CuCl 2 /H-Beta-25 materials were characterized by nitrogen physisorption, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive Xray microanalysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and CO 2 -temperature programmed desorption. The physical-chemical characterization was correlated with catalytic activity, stability and selectivity in the ethylene oxychlorination. It was found that γ-Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 support materials demonstrate very good activity and 1,2dichloroethane selectivity compare to other catalysts. Zeolite H-Beta-25 and SiO 2 support materials proved to be unusable for this reaction.
