摘要:
The present invention is directed to processes for the production of 1233zd from 240fa and HF, with or without a catalyst, at a commercial scale. The 240fa and HF are fed to a reactor operating at high pressure. The resulting product stream comprising 1233zd, HCl, HF, and other byproducts is treated to one or more purification techniques including phase separation and one or more distillations to provide purified 1233zd, which meets commercial product specifications, i.e., having a GC purity of 99.5% or greater.

Disclosed is an integrated manufacturing process to co-produce (E)1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, (E)1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-propane starting from a single chlorinated hydrocarbon feed stock, 240fa. The process includes a combined liquid or vapor phase reaction/purification operation which directly produces (E)1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E)) from 240fa. In the second liquid phase fluorination reactor 1233zd(E) is contacted with HF in the presence of catalyst to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa) with high conversion and selectivity. A third reactor is used for dehydrofluorination of 245fa to produce (E)1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze(E)) by contacting in the liquid phase with a caustic solution or in the vapor phase using a dehydrofluorination catalyst. This operation may be followed by one or more purification processes to recover the 1234ze(E) product.

Disclosed is an integrated process to co-produce trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-propene (1233zd (E)), trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze (E)), and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa). Overall the co-production is a three-step process. The chemistry involves the steps of: (1) the reaction of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropene and/or 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene with anhydrous HF in excess in a liquid-phase catalyzed reactor in such a way as to co-produce primarily 1233zd (E) and 244fa (plus by-product HCl); an optionally (2) the 244fa stream can then be used to directly produce any (or all) of the following desired products; (a) the 244fa stream can be dehydrochlorinated to produce the desired second product 1234ze (E); and/or (b) the 244fa stream can be dehydrofluorinated to produce 1233zd (E) if more of that product is desired; and/or (c) the 244fa stream can be further fluorinated to form 245fa.

The present invention involves methods for isomerization of 1234zc. Also provided are methods for managing 1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropene produced as a byproduct in a process for synthesizing trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene from 245fa, wherein 1234zc is converted into trans/cis-1234ze with the help of a catalyst in the absence of HF and in an isomerization reactor, or is converted into 1234zc and/or 245fa with the help of a catalyst in the presence of HF in a separate reactor or preferably in the same reactor of 245fa dehydrofluorination.

摘要:
This invention achieves a catalyst life improvement for the catalyzed vapor phase reaction of 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride to form 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene by introducing an oxygen co-feed into the fluorination reactor. By introduction of an oxygen co-feed to the reactor feed, the catalyst life was extended a minimum of two-fold (2×).
