摘要
The manufacture of 1,1-dichloroethylene（1,1-DCE） usually employs liquid phase method to perform the dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane（TCE）, where large amounts of high-concentration salty wastewater is produced inevitably. It has been a long-term goal to achieve the gas phase synthesis of 1,1-DCE via supported cata- lysts. In this work, the gas-phase synthesis of 1,1-DCE from TCE was studied in the presence of pentaethylenehexamine（PEHA） supported on silica. High and stable selectivity to 1,1-DCE（up to 98%） was obtained, which could be ascribed to the relatively strong basicity of PEHA according to a proposed E2 mechanism. The formation of PEHA chloride from the HCI generated in situ was detected and was considered to be the main reason for the deactivation of PEHA catalyst.
