摘要:
A process is disclosed for purifying a hydrofluoropropane of undesirable C2–C4 olefinic and C1–C4 saturated chlorinated impurities, comprising the steps of: contacting a first mixture of hydrofluoropropane, olefinic impurity and saturated chlorinated impurity with hydrogen and hydrogen fluoride concurrently in the presence of a bifunctional catalyst, for example an alloy of gold and palladium supported on carbon, capable of catalyzing hydrogenation and fluorination. During the contacting step, olefinic impurity is converted to saturated hydrogenated derivative and/or saturated hydrofluorinated derivative, and saturated chlorinated impurity is converted to a saturated hydrodechlorinated derivative and/or saturated fluorinated derivative. The hydrofluoropropane thus formed is substantially free of both the olefinic and saturated chlorinated impurities and may be used as obtained or subject to further purification steps such as distillation to remove the process derivatives (e.g., hydrogenation, hydrodechlorination and hydrofluorination derivatives) from the hydrofluoropropane.

A crystalline alpha-chromium oxide where from about 0.05 atom % to about 6 atom % of the chromium atoms in the alpha-chromium oxide lattice are replaced by trivalent cobalt (Co+3) atoms is disclosed. Also disclosed is a chromium-containing catalyst composition comprising as a chromium-containing component the crystalline cobalt-substituted alpha-chromium oxide; and a method for preparing a composition comprising the crystalline cobalt-substituted alpha-chromium oxide.

Also disclosed is a chromium-containing catalyst composition comprising a chromium-containing component prepared by treating the crystalline cobalt-substituted alpha-chromium oxide with a fluorinating agent; and a process for changing the fluorine distribution (i.e., content and/or arrangement) in a hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst. The process involves using as the catalyst a composition comprising the crystalline cobalt-substituted alpha-chromium oxide and/or the treated cobalt-substituted alpha-chromium oxide.
