BY-PRODUCT RECYCLING IN OXYCHLORINATION PROCESS

摘要

A method for the catalytic oxychlorination of ethane to VCM comprising the steps of combining ethane and a chlorine source in an oxychlorination reactor with a suitable catalyst to promote the oxychlorination of the ethane, collecting the resultant VCM and by-products and recycling the by-products to the oxychlorination reactor to participate in the reaction therein.
