Abstract
A new catalyst system composed of a main catalyst(copper chloride) and promotors of zinc chloride, tin, and cadminum showed excellent performances in the MCS synthesis from silicon and methylchloride. The mixture of catalyst/silicon(5/95), Zn/Cu=0.1, Sn/Cu=0.001, and Cd/Cu=0.001 was mixed in a slurry phase and activated into the contact mass, then it was used for MCS synthesis. The average selectivity was 92% at the silicon consumption of 92% and reaction rate was 175(g-MCS/hr.kg-silicon) at conversion of silicon.
실리콘의 모노머로 사용되고 있는 MCS 합성촉매계에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존 3원촉매계(Cu/Zn/Sn)에 조촉매 Cd를 추가시킨 4원촉매계(CuCl/$ZnCl_2$/Sn/Cd)는 원료 규소와 염화메틸로부터 MCS를 합성하는 촉매로서 성능이 3원촉매계 보다 우수하였다. 4원촉매계는 조성이 혼합촉매/규소=5/95, Zn/Cu=0.1, Sn/Cu=0.001, Cd/Cu=0.001가 되도록 구성하고, 슬러리상태에서 혼합한 후 활성화된 접촉물질을 제조하여 MCS 합성에 사용하였을 때, 규소소모율 92%에서 평균선택도 92%, 규소소모율 40%에서 반응속도는 175(g-MCS/hr.kg-Si)이었다.
