Chemicals/H2O2 reaction

Question
hi
I would like to know if decomposition of H2O2 besides FeCl3(as a catalist) ,will produce Cl2 as a byproduct or no.
I major in chemical engineering .
THanks
If you want me to say zero is produced, I couldn't. I don't see a very favorable path to get it, especially since the reaction would favor the ferric chloride. Now NaOCl will react with ferric chloride to give chlorine. I would think HCl gas formation would be more favorable.
