  • Patent number: 10131597
    Abstract: The present invention relates, in part, to the discovery that, during the fluorination of certain fluoroolefin starting reagents, oligomerization/polymerization of such reagents reduces the conversion process and leads to increased catalyst deactivation. The present invention also illustrates that vaporizing such starting reagents in the presence of one or more organic co-feed reduces such oligomerization/polymerization and improves catalytic stability.

  • Patent number: 10112166
    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 all 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.

  • Patent number: 10087127
    Abstract: The present invention relates, in part, to the discovery that the presence of HF in a HCFC-244bb feedstream in a reaction for the preparation of HFO-1234yf results in selectivity changeover from HFO-1234yf to HCFO-1233xf. By substantially removing HF, it is shown that the selectivity to HFO-1234yf via dehydrochlorination of HCFC-244bb is improved.

  • Publication number: 20180127339
    Abstract: Disclosed are processes for producing halogenated olefins, and preferably tetrafluorinated propene(s), from one or more alkanes having both fluorine substituents and non-fluorine substituents, preferably with a high degree of conversion and selectivity. Preferably the process comprises the use of a catalyzed reaction in which the catalyst is selected from the group consisting of activated carbons halogenated mono- and di-valent metal oxides, mono- and di-valent Lewis acid metal halides, zero-valent metals, and combinations of these.

  • Patent number: 9938212
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated manufacturing process to co-produce (E) 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, (E) 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-propane starting from a single starting feed material or a mixture of unsaturated hydrochlorocarbon feed materials comprising 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropene and/or 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene. The process includes a combined liquid or vapor phase reaction/purification operation which directly produces (E) 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-propene (1233zd (E)) from these feed materials, which may also include 240fa. In the second liquid phase fluorination reactor 1233zd (E) is contacted with HF in the presence of catalyst to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa) with high conversion and selectivity. A third reactor is used for dehydrofluorination of 245fa to produce (E) 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze (E)) by contacting in the liquid phase with a caustic solution or in the vapor phase using a dehydrofluorination catalyst.

  • Patent number: 9938213
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a method for removing acidic impurity from halogenated olefins, especially methods for removing acidic impurity from halogenated propenes, and even more particularly to methods for removing acidic impurity from 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (HFO-1234ze), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene (HFO-1234yf), 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene (HCFO-1233zd), and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene (HCFO-1233xf). The method is conducted by passing the halogenated olefin stream, in liquid or gas form, through a solid adsorbent bed, which contains at least one acid reactive agent.
