Abstract:
The present invention relates, in part, to the discovery that the presence of moisture in 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene (HCO-1230xa) results in catalyst deactivation and accelerated corrosion in the reactor during the fluorination of HCO-1230xa to 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. By substantially removing the moisture, it is shown that the catalyst life is extended and results in improved operation efficiency of the fluorination reaction. Such steps similarly result in an overall improvement in the production of certain hydrofluoroolefins, particularly 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for capturing and recycling iron catalyst used in the production of haloalkane compounds and more particularly, to an improved process for the manufacture of the compound 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane (HCC-240fa), in which an electromagnetic separation unit (EMSU) is used to facilitate the reaction. When energized, the EMSU functions to remove the iron particles from the reactor effluent; when de-energized, the iron particles captured by the EMSU can be flushed back into the reactor for re-use in the continued production of HCC-240fa. The present invention is also useful in the manufacturing processes for other haloalkane compounds such as HCC-250 and HCC-360.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses high purity E-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E)) and methods to produce the same. More specifically, the present invention discloses the methods of making 1233zd(E) essentially free of toxic impurities (e.g. 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233xf), chlorotetrafluoro-propene (1224), and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne). The present invention further provides methods for making high purity 1233zd(E) with concentration of 1233xf and 1224 at or below 200 parts per million (ppm) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne impurities at or below 20 ppm. Formation of 1233xf impurity can be avoided if pure 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane is used as a starting material. It was also found that formation of 1233xf is avoided if a liquid phase manufacturing process is used.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the manufacture of 1234yf from 1,1,2,3-tetrachloro-propene, abbreviated herein as "TCP," in three integrated steps: (a) the R-1 hydrofluorination of TCP to form 1233xf in the vapor phase; (b) the R-2 hydrofluorination of 1233xf to form 244bb in either the liquid phase or in the liquid phase followed by the vapor phase; and (c) the R-3 dehydrochlorination of the 244bb in either the liquid or the vapor phase to produce 1234yf; wherein the vapor phase hydrofluorination of TCP in step (a) is carried out at a lower pressure than the liquid phase hydrofluorination of 123xf; and wherein the HCl generated during these steps is scrubbed with water to form an acid solution and the organic components are scrubbed with a caustic solution and then dried before further processing.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the production of 1233xf comprising the continuous low temperature liquid phase reaction of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane and anhydrous HF, without the use of a catalyst, wherein the reaction takes place in one or more reaction vessels, each one in succession converting a portion of the original reactants fed to the lead reaction vessel and wherein the reactions are run in a continuous fashion.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the manufacture of HFO-1234yf from TCP in three integrated steps that include hydrofluorination of TCP (tetrachloropropene) to HCFC-1233xf in the vapor phase followed by hydrofluorination of HCFC-1233xf to HCFC-244bb in the liquid phase which is then followed by dehydrochlorination in liquid or vapor phase to produce HFO-1234yf. The vapor phase hydrofluorination is carried out at a higher pressure than the liquid phase hydrofluorination, thereby eliminating the need for compression and/or intermediate recovery. Also, any HCl generated from this reaction is fed to the liquid phase hydrofluorination section to promote agitation and mixing. This results in a more economical process from an initial capital and operating cost versus conducting the 3-steps sequentially.
