Poisoning effect of H2S on catalytic performance of AuCl3/AC in acetylene hydrochlorination
A study about poisoning effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the catalytic performance of AuCl3/AC during acetylene hydrochlorination deactivation is described and discussed. 1% AuCl3/AC catalyst is prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation technique. The activity tests demonstrate that H2S poisoning results in the rapid and irreversible deactivation of AuCl3/AC catalyst in acetylene hydrochlorination. Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) show that H2S addition can effectively accelerate active Au3+ reduction to metallic Au0. The formation of metal sulfide may also be another reason for catalyst deactivation in the presence of H2S
which is supported by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersion X-ray spectrometer (EDX) techniques. In other words
with the increase of H2S added to the feed gases
the content of Au3+ is greatly reduced to metallic Au0. Moreover
the active sites are covered with Au-S compound. Both of them could reduce the effective active component
leading to the deactivation of the AuCl3/AC catalyst.
