  • Hydrodechlorination process and catalyst for use therein
    Patent number: 5476984
    Abstract: A novel, improved process and catalyst are provided for the catalytic hydrodechlorination of a chlorinated alkane to its corresponding less-chlorinated and preferably non-chlorinated alkane, for example the hydrodechlorination of 1,2-dichloropropane to propane, the catalyst comprising a mixture of active Group VIII hydrogenating metals in elemental or compound form on a support.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 1995
