Abstract:
A process for making 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) includes providing a composition including 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluorepropane (HCFC-244bb) to a reactor including a heater surface at a surface temperature greater than about 850° F. (454°C), and then bringing the composition into contact with the heater surface for a contact time of less than 10 seconds to dehydrochlorinate a portion of the HCFC-244bb to make HFO-1234yf.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing hydrogen iodide. The process includes providing a vapor-phase reactant stream comprising hydrogen and iodine and reacting the reactant stream in the presence of a catalyst to produce a product stream comprising hydrogen iodide. The catalyst includes at least one selected from the group of nickel, cobalt, iron, nickel oxide, cobalt oxide, and iron oxide. The catalyst is supported on a support.
Abstract:
Heterogenous azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions comprising 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244bb) and water which may include from about 0.05 wt. % to about 92.01 wt. % 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244bb) and from about 7.99 wt. % to about 99.95 wt. % water and having a boiling point between about—13.5° C. and about 14.5° C. at a pressure of between about 12.5 psia and about 16.5 psia. The azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions may be used to separate impurities from 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244bb).
Abstract:
Heterogenous azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions comprising 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFCO-1233xf) and water which may include from about 0.09 wt. % to about 92.69 wt. % 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFCO-1233xf) and from about 7.31 wt. % to about 99.91 wt. % water and having a boiling point between about 12.0° C. and about 13.6° C. at a pressure of between about 12.5 psia and about 16.5 psia. The azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions may be used to separate impurities, including water, from 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFCO-1233xf).
Abstract:
The present invention relates, in part, to the discovery that, during the fluorination of certain fluoroolefin starting reagents, oligomerization/polymerization of such reagents reduces the conversion process and leads to increased catalyst deactivation. The present invention also illustrates that vaporizing such starting reagents in the presence of one or more organic co-feed reduces such oligomerization/polymerization and improves catalytic stability.
Abstract:
Azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne and water, such as from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, and methods of producing essentially water free 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition comprising 2-choro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane (244bb) and less than about 2% by weight 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane (245cb).
Abstract:
The present process relates to a method for minimizing the formation of 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane in a liquid phase reaction of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and HF in the presence of a hydrofluorination catalyst comprising: (a) reacting HF with sufficient amount of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of a hydrofluorination catalyst under conditions effective to form 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane, the hydrofluorination catalyst being present in sufficient amounts to catalyze said reaction and the 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane being formed with both a conversion of greater than 80% and a 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane selectivity lower than 20%; and (b) maintaining the 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane being formed with both a conversion of about 80% or more and a 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane selectivity of about 20% or less by adding said hydrofluorination catalyst to the reactor in small increments.
