A process for the preparation of 1,2-dichloroethane starting with a hydrocarbon source according to which: a) the hydrocarbon source is subjected to cracking which produces a mixture of products containing ethylene and other constituents; b) the mixture of products containing ethylene is conveyed to at least one storage reservoir; c) a chlorination reactor and/or an oxychlorination reactor is (are) supplied with the previously stored mixture of products containing ethylene, in which reactors most of the ethylene present is converted to 1,2-dichloroethane; d) the 1,2-dichloroethane obtained is separated from the streams of products derived from the chlorination and/or oxychlorination reactors. |
