Dealuminated form of BEA zeolite with Si/Al ratio of 1500 was used for synthesis Ag 2.0 SiBEA, Ni 2.0 SiBEA and Ag 2.0 Ni 2.0 SiBEA by two-step postsynthesis method. The calcination of zeolite samples led to formation of well dispersed isolated mononuclear Ag(I) and Ag n δ+ clusters and a pseudo-tetrahedral Ni(II), incorporated in BEA framework as evidenced by DR UV-vis investigations. The treatment of samples in flowing 10 % H 2 /Ar stream gave small (average 3.1 nm) and well dispersed metals nanoparticles. Reduced catalysts were investigated in 1,2-dichloroethane hydrodechlorination at atmospheric pressure, at low reaction temperature (523 K) with ~100% of selectivity to ethylene, desired product of the reaction.
