Abstract:
Purification of emulsions of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) by carbon-based adsorbent catalysts has been studied. The cycle of purification includes: (1) adsorption of 1,2-DCB from the aqueous phase and (II) reductive regeneration by hydrodechlorination of the adsorbed 1,2-DCB by molecular hydrogen in the liquid phase. 1,2-DCB adsorption from aqueous solutions has been found to proceed by the mechanism of volume filling of pores. The rate of hydrodechlorination was shown to correlate with the particle size of the active component: the finer the particles, the higher the activity of the adsorbent catalyst. Pd/FAS with an average Pd particle size of 2.8 nm was found to be the most efficient catalyst.
