A process for the purification of 1,1,1-trichloroethane contaminated with at least one undesirable C1-C3 chlorocarbon, for example, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethylene and/or trichloroethylene, which process comprises contacting the impure 1,1,1-trichloroethane with a particulate adsorbent, the adsorbent being a particulate product of controlled pyrolysis of a polysulfonated macroporous crosslinked vinylaromatic polymer having a surface area of at least about 500 m2/g, a micropore pore volume of at least about 0.24 ml/g, a macropore pore volume of less than about 0.24 ml/g and a ratio of macropore to micropore pore volume of less than 100 percent is provided.
