Abstract

Substantially all of the chlorine values, e.g., chlorine, are recovered from reactant feeds of chlorinated organic compounds, e.g., hexachlorobenzene and hexachlorobutadiene, by catalytic oxidation at temperatures below about 500.degree. C through the use of transition metal-containing supported catalysts, preferably copper-exchanged zeolite A, X or Y.
