Abstract:
This invention provides azeotrope-like compositions of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane-245fa and water that are environmentally desirable for use as refrigerants, aerosol propellants, metered dose inhalers, blowing agents for polymer foam, heat transfer media, and gaseous dielectrics.
Abstract:
A process for the separation of mixtures containing halocarbons and hydrogen fluoride. Either water alone or a blend comprising water and hydrogen fluoride is added to a mixture comprising a halocarbon and hydrogen fluoride to thereby form a first phase rich in the halocarbon and a second phase rich in hydrogen fluoride and water. The most preferred halocarbon is 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. Preferably, the first and second phases are then separated. Optionally, the second phase rich in hydroger fluoride and water is also separated.
Abstract:
