Oxychlorination Catalysts

Oxychlorination Catalysts by B.F.S

Efficient Catalytic Solutions for Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) Production

At B.F.S, we provide cutting-edge catalytic technologies tailored to the chlor-alkali and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) industries. Our Oxychlorination Catalysts are engineered for the high-efficiency production of ethylene dichloride (EDC) through the oxychlorination of ethylene, offering optimal activity, selectivity, and durability.

⚙️ What Is Oxychlorination?

Oxychlorination is a key process in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), where ethylene reacts with hydrogen chloride (HCl) and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst to produce ethylene dichloride (EDC). This reaction is typically conducted in a fluidized bed reactor at high temperatures.
