Abstract
A process for the catalytic conversion of various chlorinated hydrocarbon byproducts and waste products especially to less chlorinated, useful or salable products, in which a chlorinated hydrocarbon feedstock containing two or more chlorines is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst consisting essentially of an active hydrogenating metal component such as platinum in elemental or compound form, and a surface segregating metal component such as copper in elemental or compound form on a support.
