Catalyst preparation processes, catalyst regeneration processes, halocarbon production processes, and halocarbon production systems

摘要

Catalyst regeneration processes are provided that can include providing a mixture including a liquid phase catalyst and a halogenation exchange reagent, and exposing the mixture to a halogen until the halogen is essentially no longer consumed by the mixture. The catalyst can include M^aX_(a-b)Y_b, wherein M represents a metal, X represents a first halogen, Y represents a second halogen different from the first halogen, “a” represents the oxidation state of the metal, and “b” is an integer less than or equal to “a”. M can be Sb, the X can be Cl, and the Y can be F.
