TLDR
The catalytic transformations of 1,2-dichlorobenzene, chlorobenzenes, 4-chlorobiphenyl, γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (Lindane), naphthalene and phenanthrene were studied over palladium on alumina in hydrogen-saturated water (Pd/Al2O3/H2) at room temperature and ambient pressure as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
The catalytic transformations of 1,2-dichlorobenzene, chlorobenzene, 4-chlorobiphenyl, γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (Lindane), naphthalene and phenanthrene were studied over palladium on alumina in hydrogen-saturated water (Pd/Al2O3/H2) at room temperature and ambient pressure. The chlorinated benzenes were rapidly hydrodechlorinated and Lindane was dehydrochlorinated to benzene. Partial or complete hydrogenation was observed for biphenyl and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The phenanthrene ring was cleaved at the 9,10-position. In general dechlorination reactions were faster than hydrogenation reactions.

Catalytic hydrodechlorination of chlorophenols

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that complete destruction of chlorophenols by hydrodechlorination over palladium/carbon is possible under mild reaction conditions, and a 50/50 mixture of ethanol/water was used as the reaction solvent instead of ethanol.
