Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (F134a) by gas-phase catalytic fluorination of 1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (F133a). A mixed catalyst is employed, composed of nickel and chromium oxides, halides and/or oxyhalides deposited on a support consisting of aluminium fluoride or of a mixture of aluminium fluoride and alumina. This mixed catalyst makes it possible to obtain an excellent selectivity for F134a with a high production efficiency.
Abstract:
In order to remove the olefinic impurities (in particular 1-chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene and polyfluoropropenes) present in crude 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (F134a), a gaseous mixture of crude F134a, hydrofluoric acid and oxygen or air is treated in the gas phase, in the presence of a fluorination catalyst, at a temperature between 200.degree. and 350.degree. C. and at a pressure between atmospheric pressure and 2.5 MPa, the HF/F134a molar ratio being between 0.05 and 0.5 and the O.sub.2 /F134a molar ratio being between 0.001 and 0.1.
Abstract:
To recover the antimony contained in a solution of use antimony-containing catalyst, emananting from units for the fluorination or chlorofluorination of halogenated hydrocarbons comprising at least two carbon atoms, the solution is concentrated to the limit of distillation of antimony trichloride, an excess of chlorine is then added to convert SbCl.sub.3 to SbCl.sub.5, and SbCl.sub.5 is distilled under reduced pressure without exceeding 120.degree. C.The recoverd antimony pentachloride is sufficiently pure to be able to be recycled directly to the fluorination reactor.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the simultaneous manufacture of difluoromethane (F32) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (F134a) by pyrolysis of chlorodifluoromethane in the presence of hydrogen, working at a temperature above 500.degree. C. in the absence of any catalyst or metal surface. Depending on the operating conditions chosen, this process also makes it possible predominantly to manufacture either F134a or F32.
