  • Patent number: 11220472
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to systems and processes for recovering R1233zd in purified form from compositions additionally comprising hydrogen fluoride. In accordance with one aspect, the invention provides a process that includes separating a feed stream comprised of hydrogen fluoride and R1233zd using azeotropic distillation in a first distillation column to produce a first distillate stream comprised of hydrogen fluoride and R1233zd and a first bottoms stream consisting essentially of hydrogen fluoride. The first distillation column is operated at a first pressure. The process further includes separating the first distillate stream using azeotropic distillation in a second distillation column to produce a second distillate stream comprised of hydrogen fluoride and R1233zd and a second bottoms stream consisting essentially of R1233zd. The second distillation column is operated at a second pressure that may be different than the first pressure of the first distillation column.
