Abstract:
Disclosed is process for the production of (E) 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd(E)) by conducting a continuous reaction without the use of a catalyst. Also disclosed is an integrated system including one or more reactors for producing hydrofluoro olefins, particularly 1233zd(E). The manufacturing process includes six major unit operations: (1) a fluorination reaction of HCC-240fa (in continuous or semi-batch mode) using HF with simultaneous removal of by-product HCl and the product 1233zd(E); (2) recycle of unreacted HCC-240fa and HF together with under-fluorinated by-products back to (1); (3) separation and purification of by-product HCl; (4) separation of excess HF back to (1); (5) purification of final product, 1233zd(E); and (6) isomerization of by-product 1233zd(Z) to 1233zd(E) to maximize the process yield.
Abstract:
Provided are azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233xf) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Such azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions are useful as intermediates in the production of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf).
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a process and method for manufacturing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene by dehydrohalogenating a reactant stream of 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane that is substantially free from impurities, particularly halogenated propanes, propenes, and propynes.
Abstract:
Azeotropic or azeotrope-like mixtures of 1,3,3-trichloro-3-fluoroprop-1-ene (HCFO-1231zd) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Such compositions are useful as a feed stock or intermediate in the production of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa), 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd), and 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze).
Abstract:
A method for separating halocarbons and, in particular, a method for separating (Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd(Z), or simply 1233zd(Z)) and 1-chloro-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244fa, or simply 244fa) via distillation by adding a third component, hydrogen fluoride (HF), forming a binary azeotrope of 1233zd(Z) and HF. The binary 1233zd(Z)/HF azeotrope may then be recovered from the distillation column as an overhead stream which includes only a relatively minor amount of 244fa, while the 244fa may be recovered from the distillation column as a bottoms stream which includes only relatively minor amounts of 1233zd(Z) and HF.

Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for a high temperature isomerization reaction converting (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene to (Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. In certain aspects of the invention, such a process includes contacting a feed stream with a heated surface, where the feed stream includes (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene or mixture of (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene with (Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. The resulting product stream includes (Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and (E)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, where the ratio of (Z) isomer to (E) isomer in the product stream is higher than the ratio feed stream. The (E) and (Z) isomers in the product stream may be separated from one another.
