Abstract
Perchloroethylene containing contaminating amounts of dichlorobutadiene is treated with bromine, e.g., elemental bromine, in the presence of a free-radical initiator, thereby to produce perchloroethylene substantially-free of dichlorobutadiene and without significant loss of perchloroethylene. A bromine scavenger, e.g., trichloroethylene, can be added to the treated perchloroethylene to react with excess bromine that may be present in the perchloroethylene.
