Oxychlorination catalyst and process using such a catalyst

摘要

Oxychlorination catalyst containing at least copper as an active element deposited on a support characterized in that the support consists essentially of an alumina obtained by calcination of an alumina hydrate obtained as by-product of the ALFOL® linear primary alcohol process and use of such catalyst in an oxychlorination process of a hydrocarbon containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
