Abstract

A molded supported catalyst which contains from 2 to 13% by weight of copper ions in the form of copper(II) chloride and/or copper oxychloride and from 0.2 to 3% by weight of alkali metal ion on a columnar carrier and has a diameter of from 4 to 7 mm and a height which is from 0.35 to 0.75 times the diameter is particularly suitable for preparing 1,2-dichloroethane by oxychlorination of ethylene.
