Abstract

A hydrodehalogenation process, comprising the step of reacting a saturated halohydrocarbon (e.g., 1,2-dichloropropane) with hydrogen or a hydrogen donor in the gas phase in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of ruthenium on a support, and at temperatures of at least about 100 degrees Celsius, to produce reaction products including a corresponding non-halogenated, unsaturated hydrocarbon (e.g., propylene).
