  • Publication number: 20150203424
    Abstract: A separation method of 1-chloro-3,3,3-tetraluofopropene and hydrogen fluoride according to the present invention includes reducing the hydrogen chloride content of a mixture containing hydrogen chloride, 1-chloro-3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and hydrogen chloride, thereby causing phase separation of the mixture so as to obtain an upper phase predominantly containing the hydrogen fluoride and a lower phase predominantly containing the 1-chloro-3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene. This separation method is industrially economically advantageous since the 1-chloro-3,3,3-tetraluofopropene and the hydrogen fluoride can be separated rapidly by simple operation.

  • Patent number: 8987533
    Abstract: A production method of 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene according to the present invention includes reaction of 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride, characterized in that the concentrations of respective catalytic components in the 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane as the raw material is controlled to a predetermined level or less. By controlling the concentrations of the respective catalytic components in the 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane to the predetermined level or less, it is possible to improve the problems of shortening of catalyst life, retardation of reaction and scaling or corrosion of equipment in the production of the 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene. In addition, the 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane can be obtained selectively with high yield by telomerization reaction of carbon tetrachloride and vinyl chloride. The present invention is thus useful as the method for industrially advantageous, high-yield production of the 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.
