Catalytic composition for oxychlorination and process for the oxychlorination of ethylene using such a composition

摘要

The invention relates to a catalytic composition for oxychlorination, as well as to a process for the oxychlorination of ethylene by means of such a catalytic composition based on copper chloride, magnesium chloride, lithium chloride and at least one other alkali metal chloride, deposited on an inert support. The oxychlorination thus carried out enables an excellent yield to be obtained without the catalytic composition sticking to the walls of the reactor and without the latter being corroded by the catalytic composition employed.
