HyKat EO-105 is a promoted copper chloride catalyst based on micro spherical alumina carrier, which exhibits good catalytic activity and selectivity, high HCl conversion rate, low by-products and low attrition.
HyKat EO-105 is developed for fluid bed oxychlorination process for ethylene oxychlorination, in oxychlorination, ethylene reacts with dry HCl and either air or pure oxygen in a heterogeneous catalytic reaction to form EDC and water.
C2H4 + 2 HCl + ½O2 → C2H4Cl2 + H2O
