dechlorinate
In organochlorine chemistry, reductive dechlorination describes any chemical reaction which cleaves the covalent bond between carbon and chlorine via reductants, to release chloride ions. Many modalities have been implemented, depending on the application. Reductive dechlorination is often applied to remediation of chlorinated pesticides or dry cleaning solvents. It is also used occasionally in the synthesis of organic compounds, e.g. as pharmaceuticals.

dechlorinate
Dechlorinate refers to the process of removing chlorine from a substance, most commonly water. This is often done either chemically, using a dechlorination agent, or through a filtering process. This is necessary because while chlorine is often used to kill bacteria and other pathogens in water, it can have harmful effects on the environment and to human health when consumed in large amounts.
