PROCESS FOR CONVERTING 1,1,1,2-TETRACHLOROETHANE TO VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE.

摘要

A process for the catalytic conversion of various chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducts and waste products especially to less chlorinated, useful or salable products, in which a chlorinated hydrocarbon feedstock is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst including a Group VIII metal such as platinum in elemental or compound form, and a Group IB metal such as copper in elemental or compound form.
