PROCESS FOR MAKING 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE

摘要

PROCESS FOR MAKING 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE The disclosure relates to a process for making 1,2-di-chloroethane by reacting ethylene and chlorine in a reaction zone at a temperature of about 75 to 200.degree.C, under a pressure of about 1 to 15 bars and over a mean period of time of about 1 to 15 hours; the reaction zone has a liquid medium containing chlorinated C2-hydrocarbons circulated therein and contains a chlorination-inducing catalyst. More particularly, the 1,2-dichloroethane is produced inside a double loop reactor.
