Hydrogenolysis of chloroethene (vinyl chloride, VC) has been investigated in a tubular-flow reactor at atmospheric pressure between 872–1085 K. Ethene, ethyne, and HCl are major initial products of reaction. Hydrogen-atom addition to the substituted end of VC yields C2H4 after loss of a chlorine atom from the radical intermediate; addition to the unsubstituted end gives the 1-chloroethyl radical (1) and is reversible, but (1) may also be hydrogenated to chloroethane, which rapidly loses HCl. HCl elimination from VC to give C2H2 mainly occurs via a molecular reaction for which the parameters log k/s–1= 14.0 – 290kJ mol–1/θ,θ= 2.3 RT have been determined. Both C2H2 and C2H4 are hydrogenated and lead to C2H6 and, through splitting of the C–C bond in this product, to methane. Addition of HCl had only a small rate-enhancing effect on VC conversion, with increased production of ethene. A reaction model which accounts well for VC conversion rates and product, distributions has been developed. Features of VC hydrogenolysis have been compared with its pyrolysis.

Thermolysis of arene/H2 mixtures at atmospheric pressure near 1 000 K leads to desubstitution via attack of hydrogen atoms: (Ar–X + H˙→ ArH). Rates of dechlorination (and, where appropriate, dehydroxylation and defluorination) have been examined for a variety of Chlorobenzene derivatives, including o,m,p-dichlorobenzenes, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, o-,m-chlorofluorobenzenes, o-,m-,p-chlorophenols, and 2,4-dichlorophenol. Employing competitive studies and computer analysis of product distributions, the rates of desubstitution have been determined relative to (1), (C6H5Cl + H˙→ C6H6). Observed per-site rate constants for dechlorination of the substrates were 0.66–1.44 times that of C6H5Cl. Electron-withdrawing substituents retard the reaction rate, and electron-donating groups lead to rate enhancement. Substituent effects on dehydroxylation were found to be similar; rates of defluorination were less affected by ring substituents. The results are discussed in terms of the reaction mechanisms.

Abstract Thermal hydrogenation of organic chlorine compounds is advanced as an alternative to incineration and as an environmentally sound process for conversion/ detoxification of industrial organic wastes. The chemical reactions proceed at ca. 600–900° C and lead to HCl (and analogous derivatives of non-hydrocarbon functional groups) and a mixture of hydrocarbons, especially CH 4 , C 2 ′s and benzene. There is little or no tar or soot formation. Toxins such as chlorinated dioxins are also effectively converted; the resulting products can be considered as a fuel. The requisite hydrogen can be supplied or made (in situ) from a source like methanol.

The effect of substituents, especially Cl, on four basic free-radical gas-phase reactions is outlined, viz. H-abstraction from (chloro)benzenes by OH (1), ipso substitution ArCl + OH. ➙ ArOH (2), hydro-dechlori- nation ArCl + H.➙ ArH + Cl. (3) and H-abstraction from vinylchloride Cl. + CH2=CHC1 ➙ CH2=C.C1 + #CH=CHC1 (4a, b).
