Abstract: The present disclosure provides separation processes for removing heavy organics that are formed in various production processes of HCFO-1233zd(E). Such separation processes allow for the recovery and/or separation of the heavy organics from reactants that are used to form HCFO-1233zd(E), including HF. Such separation or recovery processes may utilize various separation techniques (e.g., decanting, liquid-liquid separation, distillation, and flash distillation) and may also utilize the unique properties of azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions. Recovery of the heavy organic that is substantially free from HF may allow for their use in subsequent manufacture processes or disposal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses high purity E-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E)) and methods to produce the same. More specifically, the present invention discloses the methods of making 1233zd(E) essentially free of toxic impurities (e.g. 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233xf), chlorotetrafluoro-propene (1224), and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne).

Formation of 1233xf impurity can be avoided if pure 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane is used as a starting material. It was also found that formation of 1233xf is avoided if a liquid phase manufacturing process is used.
