Abstract:
This invention relates to a method to improve 1,1,3-trichloropropene (HCC-1240za) and/or 3,3,3-trichloropropene (HCC-1240zf) selectivity in the dehydrochlorination of 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane (HCC-250fb). In normal practice, FeCl3 is used as the catalyst for the dehydrochlorination of HCC-250fb to produce 1,1,3-trichloropropene and/or 3,3,3-trichloropropene. Here the improvement comprises, using as the starting material, a mixture comprising HCC-250fb and Heavies generated from the reaction of CCl4 and ethylene to produce HCC-250fb, wherein the Heavies comprise one or more tetrachloropentane isomers. These compounds reduce or eliminate the formation of unwanted high boiling compounds (HBCs).
Abstract:
An azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of effective amounts of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113) and 1-chloro-1,2-difluoroethane (HCFC-142a). Methods for separating the azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition and/or exploiting the composition in extractive and pressure swing distillation are also disclosed in connection with methods of manufacturing 1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HFC-143).

Abstract:
Two methods for reducing CFC impurities and, in particular, CFC-114, in the HFO-1234ze(E) production process from the reaction of CFC-113 and HF. The first method involves subjecting an intermediate or recycle stream to separation and distillation to purge CFC-113 from the process. The second method involves operating the separation at a higher pressure avoids the formation of an azeotrope between CFC-113 and HFC-245fa. The CFC-113/HFC245fa azeotrope is discussed, as well as other optional processes for removal or mitigation of CFC-113 which include further separations that remove CFC-114 from the HFO-1234ze(E) product and/or CFC-113 from the HFC-245fa feed to produce an HFO-1234ze(E) product that is largely free from CFC-114 and other CFC impurities.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a refrigerant composition comprising: (a) from about 65% by weight to about 90% by weight of HFO-1234ze(E); (b) from about 10% by weight to about 35% by weight of HFO-1336mzz (E); and optionally (c) from about 0% to about 4.4% by weight of HFC-227ea for use in a variety of refrigeration applications, including air conditioning and/or refrigeration and particularly cooling products such as fruits, vegetables and beverages without exposing those articles to temperatures below the freezing point of water.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions including trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (CF3COCl), methods of forming same, and methods of separating, or breaking, the azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions of trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (CF3COCl).
Abstract:
Impurities such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) are removed from trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) through distillation, adsorption, or a combination thereof, and/or including the formation of an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition including effective amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC). The trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) thus purified may then be used in the manufacture of trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I). Also disclosed are azeotropes and azeotrope like compositions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method to improve 1,1,3-trichloropropene selectivity in HCC-250fb (1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane) dehydrochlorination. In normal practice, FeCl3 is used as the catalyst for the dehydrochlorination of HCC-250fb to produce 1,1,3-trichloropropene. In this invention as source of water is added into the reaction system to inhibit the formation of high boiling compounds such as pentachlorocyclohexene and/or hexachlorocyclohexane. Once source of water is H2O itself. Another source of water is one or more hydrated metal halides.
