Abstract:
This invention relates to an improved method of producing a catalyst for the production of vinyl fluoride. This invention comprises incorporating activated carbon, which has been activated with nitric acid and subsequently washed so as to remove the acid with a mercuric compound or a cadmium compound, or a mixture of a mercuric compound and a compound consisting of chloride, fluoride, sulphate, nitrate, oxide or hydroxide of lead, tin, cadmium or zinc, and pre-treating the resultant material at a temperature of 30* to 300*C with hydrogen fluoride gas.
