An effluent containing chlorinated hydrocarbons and tar, withdrawn from a reactor employing molten copper chlorides and oxychloride, is quenched to separate carbon and tars, and the separated carbon and tars introduced into the reactor to effect combustion thereof. The reaction is preferably directed to the production of vinyl chloride or chlorinated methanes.
