  • Publication number: 20230391693
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of trifluoroethylene in a reactor equipped with a fixed catalytic bed comprising a catalyst, said process comprising a stage a) of reaction of chlorotrifluoroethylene with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst and in the gas phase in order to produce a stream comprising trifluoroethylene; said stage a) being carried out at a temperature of the fixed catalytic bed T1 of between 50° C. and 250° C.; said process being characterized in that, during stage a), the temperature of the fixed catalytic bed T1 is increased provided that it does not exceed 300° C.

  • Publication number: 20230391694
    Abstract: A process for the production of trifluoroethylene in a reactor provided with a catalytic bed including a catalyst, the process including: i) a step of activating the catalyst, including bringing it into contact with a gaseous stream including a reducing agent, an inert gas or a mixture thereof; and ii) a step of reacting chlorotrifluoroethylene with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst activated in step i) and in the gas phase in order to produce a stream including trifluoroethylene; wherein during said step i), the temperature of the catalytic bed is increased from a temperature T1 to a temperature T2 that is greater than T1, with a temperature gradient of less than 0.5° C./min.

  • Publication number: 20220112145
    Abstract: A composition including at least 98 mol % of (E/Z)-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and less than 0.5 mol % of coproducts selected from 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane. A composition obtained from a process for producing 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, including the step i) of contacting hydrofluoric acid (HF) in a reactor with a starting composition including at least one of the chloro compounds selected from 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene (1230za), 1,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene (1230zd) and 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane (240fa), or a mixture thereof, to produce a stream A including 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd), wherein the step i) is carried out in a low-HF liquid phase.
