Thermal Cracking of Dichloroethane From Oxychlorination of Ethylene

The document describes the process of thermally cracking dichloroethane produced from the oxychlorination of ethylene. Ethylene and chlorine undergo direct chlorination or oxychlorination with oxygen to produce ethylene dichloride. The ethylene dichloride is then cracked through pyrolysis at high temperature and pressure to produce vinyl chloride monomer and hydrogen chloride, which can be recycled in the process.
