The gas phase dechlorination of cyclohexyl chloride and chlorobenzene, over the temperature range 423 K≤ T≤573 K, promoted using a silica supported nickel catalyst in the presence of hydrogen has been studied. Chlorine removal from the chloroalkane is shown to occur by dehydrochlorination via an E1...
