Graphical Abstract

Der geschwindigkeitsbestimmende Schritt der Ethylen-Oxychlorierung am CuCl2/γ-Al2O3-Katalysator ließ sich in einer zeitaufgelösten In-situ-XANES-Studie identifizieren. Nach diesen Daten (siehe Bild; E=Photonenenergie) und der ebenfalls ermittelten Katalysatoraktivität ist es die Oxidation von CuCl. Das den industriellen Katalysatoren als Dotierung zugesetzte Kaliumchlorid verringert die Geschwindigkeit der Reduktion, die beim KCl/CuCl2/γ-Al2O3-Katalysator zum geschwindigkeitsbestimmenden Schritt wird.
