Abstract
Ethylene is chlorinated in a reaction zone to form a product stream containing 1,2-dichloroethane, the latter being then thermally cracked in a cracking zone to form vinyl chloride. Light by-products formed during the thermal cracking step are chlorinated in a zone external and directly downstream of the reaction zone used for the preparation of the 1,2-dichloroethane product stream. The product stream leaving the chlorination reaction zone for the 1,2-dichloroethane are passed into said downstream zone so that the light by-products are chlorinated in the presence of said product stream.
