The kinetics of the oxidation reactions of chlorotoluene (Cl-T) and chlorobenzenes (Cl-B) on vanadium-containing catalysts have been investigated. The results show that the oxidation rate of the initial chlorinated hydrocarbons increases progressively with rising temperature (t), contact time (τ), and the concentration ratio of the starting compounds. Simultaneously, the formation rates of the main products and CO₂ also increase under these conditions.

It has been established that the oxidation proceeds via parallel-consecutive reactions, resulting in the formation of primary chloro-organic compounds as well as deep oxidation products. The direction of the oxidation reaction is influenced by both the presence and position of the double bond and the number of chlorine atoms in the molecule.

Furthermore, the oxidation rate of chlorinated hydrocarbons is higher on a stationary catalyst bed compared to a fluidized bed. However, the fluidized bed shows a higher formation rate of the desired product.
