Continuous process for cracking 1,2-dichloroethane.

摘要

1. Process for the preparation of vinyl chloride by thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane, carried out at a temperature of between 300 and 650 degrees C and an absolute pressure of between 1 and 40 bars, the said process being characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of hydrochloric acid and that the molar ratio hydrochloric acid/1,2-dichloroethane is between 0.1 and 1.8.
