Question
-
I am currently working on a project about chlorination processes and mechanisms. One day I was reading about direct chlorination of ethylene through the process called "Low Temperature Direct Chlorination" which was developed by Vinnolit. There is no more information about the catalyst, or newest technological development of the said company. The patent (US20170267610A1) describes the newer process and its ingenious configuration. "Low Temperature Direct Chlorination" astonishes me and I'd like to learn more about it.
Since all of the EDC producers in my country are high temperatures, I was wondering if someone could inform me about the catalyst of this process, or the mechanism of such a catalyst in commercial applications or promising articles about it.
