Abstract:
The invention provides a process for the manufacture of fluoropropianes, and more particularly, the manufacture of 1, 1, 1,3,3,3 -hexafluoropropane (HFC23 6fa) and 1, 1, 1,2,3,3,3 -heptafluoropropane (HFC-22,7ea). The process utilizes 3carbon by-products, i.e. waste material from other commercial processes as raw material. The process also avoids the use of hexafluoropropane (HFP) as a reactant for making HFC-227ea, and is able to convert any three-carbon hydrocarbon (HQ, hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compound or any halogenated propanes and produce high valued three-carbon hydrofluoroicarbons (HFCs) at significantly lower cost than current commercial processes.

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:
A process for producing 1-chloro-3, 3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFC-1233zd) from 1,1,1-3,3-pentachloropropape (HCC-240fa) by its reaction with hydrogen fluoride, the reactants are reacted in a liquid phase reaction at a temperature of less than 150° C in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst or mixture of Lewis acid catalysts, and hydrogen chloride and HCFC-1233zd formed in the reaction are continuously removed and the HCFC-12333zd is isolated.
