Procedure

The procedure was as in Example 1 but 2072 g 1,2-dichloroethane containing 1.6 g dissolved FeCl3 was introduced into the reactor. The solution contained 0.076 weight % FeCl3, determined colorimetrically. The quantities of ethylene and chlorine introduced in the presence of air underwent reaction inside the reactor to give crude dichloroethane containing 0.18 weight % 1,1,2-trichloroethane.
