Abstract
Pitch-based active carbon fiber (pitch-ACF) modified by pyridine chemi cal vapor deposition (CVD) showed excellent catalytic activity for deh ydrochlorination of 1, 2-dichloroethane (1, 2-DCE) into vinyl chloride (VC). Compared with polyacrylonitrile-based ACF (PAN-ACF), the presen t ACF of 2% weight increase by CVD showed long life over 300 h at 360 degrees C (conversion: ca. 20%; VC selectivity: 99.7%; contact time: 5 .8 x 10(-3)).
