Producing ethylene from natural gas via the synthesis and subsequent pyrolysis of methyl chloride: Increasing selectivity by introducing a stage of polychloromethane hydrodechlorination

Chloroform conversion into ethane and propane by catalytic hydrodechlorination with Pd supported on activated carbons from lignin

“…The studies reported in the bibliography about chloromethanes (other than carbon tetrachloride) treatment are mainly focused in the removal of the pollutant with very few works concerning to the production of C2-C3 hydrocarbons by this methodology. [10][11][12] Gas-phase catalytic hydrodechlorination (HDC) has been mainly studied using catalysts based on metallic active phases supported on a porous support. [13][14][15][16] Many active metallic phases have been studied to compare their activity on the catalytic hydrodechlorination.…”

Improving the efficiency of high-temperature processes for producing lower olefins via deep-processing of by-products

“…The resulting polychlorinated products are subjected to catalytic dehydrochlorination with the regeneration of the initial hydrocarbon and hydrogen chloride. The developers of this technology note that the processing conditions are milder, but that the hardware requirements are more stringent than that of the methanol process [12].…”
