What is it about?

to show the synergistic catalysis role between Au and Bi on carbon, for the future green process of Non-Mercury Hydrochlorination of Acetylene to Vinyl Chloride Monomer. To discover the Au+1 exist in this binary metal system and also has catalytic activity beside Au+3.

Why is it important?

Replacing Hg with Au in the sythesis of VCM process , and to find a technical way for a new and green coal-based PVC industry in China.

Perspectives

High activity, high stability and reasonable cost of Au-based novel catalyst will be potential for industrial application.
