Ash forms during the thermal utilization of organochlorine wastes from the direct chlorination of ethylene to 1,2-dichloroethane in the production of vinyl chloride. The composition of ash collected at Karpatnaftochim Ltd. was determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The ash macrocomponents are Fe₂O₃ and FeCl₃, as well as magnesium and sodium chlorides. Based on the results of the determination of the ash macro composition, ways were proposed to solve technological problems of organochlorine waste utilization.

Correlation between the results of the XRF method and the calculation method.
