  1. Mechanism of HCl oxidation (Deacon process) over RuO2 Gerard Novell-Leruth

  2. The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia

  3. Scheme • Deacon process • Ruthenium Oxide • Reactivity on RuO2(110) • Microkinetic analysis • Conclusions

  4. The Chlorine Tree

  5. The Chlorine Tree The Production consumption per weight produced is near to iron and steel production. • Chloroalkali process • 2 NaCl + 2 H2O → Cl2 + H2 + 2 NaOH • 3600 -3300 kWh / ton of Chlorine • Deacon Process • 4 HCl + O2 → 2 Cl2 + 2 H2O

  6. Chlorine production

  7. Chlorine production • SumitomoChemicals • RuO2/TiO2 (rutile) • Highactivity • LowTemperature (300 ºC) • Stability • Production of 400 kton per year in a single reactor

  8. Scheme • Deacon process • Ruthenium Oxide • Reactivity on RuO2(110) • Microkinetic analysis • Conclusions
