Abstract
A method for the catalytic oxychlorination of ethane to VCM comprising combining ethane and a chlorine source in an oxychlorination reactor in the presence of an oxychlorination catalyst, the reaction conditions being selected to reduce the influence of the oxychloride form of the catalyst, separating the VCM product from the output of the reactor and recycling the by-products to the reactor.
