Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure the effective utilization of raw materials, especially of hydrogen fluoride and to effectively separate hydrogen fluoride from 1,1,1,3,3- pentafluorobutane in a reaction product mixture containing them by distilling the mixture twice or more. SOLUTION: When separating at least one kind of components from a mixture containing both (A) 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane and (B) hydrogen fluoride, the mixture is subjected to distillation at least twice. The first distillation is carried out under a first pressure and the second one is carried out under a second pressure other than that in the first distillation in order to recover at least one fraction rich in the component A and at least one fraction rich in the component B. It is preferable that the first distillation is carried out at a higher pressure (especially 6-11 bars), the second distillation is carried out at a lower pressure (especially 0.5-3 bars) and the fraction substantially comprising the component A is recovered from the lowest part of the second distillation.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method for producing oxirane, despite producing only a small amount of byproducts, without lowering reaction rate, and capable of 100% converting introduced hydrogen peroxide.SOLUTION: This method for producing oxirane by reacting an olefin with a peroxide compound in the presence of a catalyst includes introducing a peroxide compound into only a first reactor, without feeding a fresh peroxide compound into ≥1 subsequent reactors and feeding only the peroxide compound present in an intermediate obtained from the preceding reactor and not consumed in the preceding reactor into the subsequent reactors.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for the obtention of HFC-227ea having a reduced content of all kinds of organic impurities and in particular olefinic impurities which does not require addition of further chemical compounds to the HFC-227ea, and also to provide an azeotropic or pseudo-azeotropic mixture comprising HFC-227ea and water. SOLUTION: The method for the obtention of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) having a reduced content of organic impurities comprises: (a) the step of subjecting a crude HFC-227ea containing organic impurities to at least two distillation steps, consisting of a high pressure distillation step and a low pressure distillation step carried out at a pressure of at least 1 bar lower than the high pressure distillation step; and (b) the step of recovering HFC-227ea having a reduced content of organic impurities. There is also provided a (pseudo-)azeotropic mixture comprising HFC-227ea and water. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for producing epoxide by a reaction of an olefinic compound with a peroxide compound. SOLUTION: The epoxide produced by epoxidation of the olefinic compound by a hydroperoxide compound in liquid medium is separated from the reaction medium by liquid-liquid extraction using an extraction solvent.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide oxirane with high selectivity at a high activity (or a high reaction rate ) while minimizing the formation of by-products.SOLUTION: Between a first reaction and the next reaction in manufacturing oxirane by reaction of olefines with peroxide compounds in the presence of catalysts and solvents in at least two continuously arranged reactors containing respectively their catalyst portions, after separation of an oxirane once produced by distillation from a reaction medium obtained from the first reactor, the medium from which the oxirane separated from the medium rich with the oxirane is removed and is added with a reactant necessary for synthesizing oxirane, and the following reaction is performed.
