Abstract

Abstract The behaviour of 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrachloroethane and trichloroethene in chlorination reactions where the supply of chlorine is varied, either by change in chlorocarbon: Cl 2 feed ratio or the quantity of supported copper (II) chloride catalyst or by the use of an anhydrous hydrogen chloride/dioxygen feed as the source of chlorine, ie oxychlorination conditions, is described. Depending on the exact conditions used, the products are trichloroethene, ...
