The specification describes a method for the production of a hydrochlorination catalyst, comprising the steps of: i) preparing an impregnation solution by combining a source of gold and a ligand in a solvent, wherein the solvent comprises an organic solvent; ii) impregnating a support with the impregnation solution from step (i); and iii) drying the product of step (ii) to obtain the catalyst. Also described are hydrochlorination catalysts comprising a complex of gold and a ligand of Formula (I) supported on a support. These catalysts are particularly suitable for the conversion of acetylene to vinyl chloride monomer.

A regeneration method of a nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst includes the following steps: roasting the nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst in a nitrogen-containing atmosphere to obtain a regenerated nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst. The method is a universal method, which is suitable for nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts and can be used to regenerate a nitrogen-containing carbon catalyst for producing vinyl chloride (VC) through 1,2-dichloroethane cracking. The method can greatly reduce the production cost of the catalyst and increase the service life of the catalyst, and a regeneration process thereof is fast, simple, and controllable, and does not require high temperatures.
