METHOD FOR ACTIVATING CATALYST FOR CHLORINE PRODUCTION

摘要

Disclosed is a method for activating a catalyst for chlorine production wherein a catalyst decreased in activity is subjected to a contact treatment with a reducing gas which contains carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen. The catalyst can be more effectively activated by being subjected to a contact treatment with an oxidizing gas after the contact treatment with the reducing gas. As the catalyst for chlorine production, a ruthenium catalyst, particularly a catalyst containing ruthenium oxide is suitably activated by this method.
