The catalyst, which consists of a support on which a catalytically active material containing honey is applied, is profiled as a hollow cylinder with the following dimensions: outer diameter 4.0 to 7.0 millimeters, inner diameter 2.0 to 2.8 millimeters, length 6, 1 to 6.9 millimeters and the ratio of its outer to inner diameter is between 2.0 and 2.5. The catalyst is used for the oxychlorination of ethylene to 1,2-dichloroethane by the reaction of ethylene, oxygen and hydrogen chloride in a fixed bed reactor. |
