摘要:
When saturated with boron trifluoride, certain polyhydric alcohols form adducts which catalyze hydrocarbon alkyl transfer reactions for which boron trifluoride is catalytic. The adduct is recovered from the reaction mixture and recycled, greatly reducing boron and fluoride values in the product and in any effluent. Examples include propylation of toluene in the presence of a recycled adduct of boron trifluoride with mannitol or sorbitol, and the oligomerization of decene by a recycled adduct of boron trifluoride with mannitol or butanediol. Some of the catalysts become viscous on cooling and are thus more easily separated from the reaction products which remain in a separate liquid phase.

A process for the conversion of boron trifluoride dimethyl ether complex to boron trifluoride dialkyl ether complex substantially free of dimethyl ether impurities, which comprises reacting the boron trifluoride-dimethyl ether complex, in the liquid phase, in the presence of dialkyl ether wherein at least one of the alkyl groups contains at least two carbon atoms, in a restricted vapor equilibration region, while simultaneously sweeping the said vapor equilibration region with a substantially inert gas, and heating to distill off the dimethyl ether. High purity of the boron trifluoride dialkyl ether complex is attained with this method, with only minimal traces of the boron trifluoride dimethyl ether complex, dimethyl ether remaining. The preferred product is boron trifluoride diethyl ether.
摘要:
Sulfuric acid contaminated with boron and fluoride values such as the waste acid of a boron trifluoride process is purified by contacting the contaminated acid with an inert gas to desorb boron trifluoride, and the inert gas is stripped by contacting with an absorbing liquid including concentrated sulfuric acid. Fluosulfonic acid is added to contaminated sulfuric acid at levels approximately three times the molar values of boric acid contaminant as an agent to spring non-volatile boron values. The absorption of boron trifluoride into the absorbing sulfuric acid is improved when it contains boric acid. Preferably the contaminated sulfuric acid to be purified is one portion of the waste liquid and the absorbing liquid is another portion of the waste liquid of a boron trifluoride manufacturing process. Boric acid is added to the absorbing liquid, then boron trifluoride is stripped from the inert gas and absorbed into the absorbing liquid. The absorbing liquid along with stripped boron trifluoride is recycled to a boron trifluoride manufacturing process. The inert gas can be recycled to the desorbing step.
摘要:
Dry calcium fluoborate suitable for use in the manufacture of boron trifluoride is produced by reacting, in an aqueous medium, calcium fluoride, hydrofluoric acid and boric acid followed by removing water from the calcium fluoborate reaction product by purging the reaction product with a dry inert gas such as nitrogen, at a temperature between about 140.degree. to 160.degree. C.

Fluoroorganic compounds are prepared by reacting a haloorganic starting material in which at least one halo atom is replaceable with a fluorine atom by metathetical exchange, with calcium fluoride in the presence of a crown ether and an anhydrous, polar, basic organic solvent which complexes with the calcium ion and contains no --OH groups, at a temperature and for a period of time adequate to effect fluorination.

A stabilized heat exchange medium is disclosed including a fluorocarbon, an absorbant and a tribasic phosphite stabilizer. The preferred absorbants are assymetrical furan derivatives containing at least 1 oxygen with a single bond to an adjacent carbon, and is most preferably an alkyl tetrahydrofurfuryl ether. The fluorocarbon contains 1 or 2 carbons, 1 or 2 hydrogens and the remainder chlorine and fluorine. The tribasic phosphites are of the formula (R.sub.1 'O)(R.sub.2 'O)(R.sub.3 'O)P, wherein R.sub.1 ', R.sub.2 ' and R.sub.3 ' are each independently alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, alkylene phenyl, alkylene alkylphenyl or alkylphenyl.

A process for the preparation of perhaloalkanoyl chloride is disclosed which comprises reacting 1,1,1-trichloroperfluoroalkane, with a sulfur trioxide-containing compound selected from the group consisting of oleum sulfur trioxide and stabilized sulfur trioxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of a halogen catalyst selected from the group consisting of iodine, bromine, iodine monobromide and iodine monochloride and bromine monochloride wherein the 1,1,1-trichloroperhaloalkane is a straight or branched chain acyclic organic compound having 2 to 8 carbon atoms and having at least one trihalomethyl group wherein at least one halo atom is fluorine and having the remaining carbon atoms substituted by F, Cl, Br or I atoms.
摘要:
Octafluoropropane or perfluoropropane is produced by introducing fluorine into an elongated inner zone surrounded by a porous member which is substantially resistant to fluorine corrosion and introducing a three carbon compound which is propane, a partially fluorinated propane, propene, a partially fluorinated propene, hexafluoropropene or mixtures thereof outside the porous member. When the porous member is metal, a perfluorinated diluent is used. When the porous member is fused alumina, conventional diluents such as nitrogen, or even no diluent may be employed.
