Abstract
⺠Impregnated Au/C catalyst with aqua regia as a solvent displayed superior activity in the hydrochlorination reaction of acetylene to vinyl chloride monomer. ⺠A synergistic effect between HCl and HNO3 is present, driving the Au nanoparticles nucleation process over the carbon support. ⺠The impregnating acid mixture can affect the carbon support enriching the presence of oxygen functional groups. ⺠The reaction occurs over Au3+ centres at the Au/C interface.
