Abstract: 

The Deacon process is a sustainable way to recover chlorine from HCl by its oxidation with molecular oxygen. Deacon catalysts need to fulfill both selection criteria: high activity and high stability. In this Review, we introduce and discuss simple descriptors for assessing activity and stability of catalyst materials. A promising descriptor for ranking the experimental activities of Deacon catalysts and other oxidation catalysts in the form of oxides represents the dissociation energy of molecular oxygen as introduced by Studt et al. (ChemCatChem.2010, 2, 98). The resulting volcano plot allows for identifying promising catalyst materials for the Deacon process, such as exemplified with La2O3.
