Abstract: A process for producing at least one haloolefin by dehydrohalogenating a hydrohaloalkane. The dehydrohalogenation process is performed in the liquid phase or vapor phase in the presence or absence of a catalyst at a temperature sufficient to effect conversion of the hydrohaloalkane to a haloolefin (haloalkene) in an adiabatic reaction zone. In particular, the adiabatic reaction zone comprises at least two serially-connected adiabatic reactors and having a heat exchanger disposed in sequence and in fluid communication between each two reactors in series.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for reducing the amount of monofluoroacetate. The process involves (a) contacting a hydrofluorocarbon with a reactant basic aqueous solution to produce an organic phase solution containing a hydrofluoroolefin and an aqueous phase solution containing a monofluoroacetate; and (b) heating the aqueous phase solution to an effective temperature to reduce the amount of monofluoroacetate in the aqueous phase solution, wherein fluoride concentration in the aqueous phase solution is substantially high. Another process is disclosed for reducing the amount of monofluoroacetate.
