  • Patent number: 8946493
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane, involving reacting gaseous phase 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene with hydrogen in a superstoichimetric amount in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in a reactor, and recirculating a part of the gaseous effluent from the reactor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 3, 2015
    Assignee: Arkema France
    Inventors: Michel Devic, Nicolas Doucet, Laurent Wendlinger, Geraldine Cavallini
  • Patent number: 8912370
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexaafluoropropane, involving reacting gaseous phase hexafluoropropene with hydrogen in a superstoichimetric amount in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in a reactor, and recirculating a part of the gaseous effluent from the reactor.

  • Patent number: 8779217
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing fluoropropenes of formula (I) CF3CF?CHR, where R is a hydrogen or a fluorine atom from at least one compound of formula (Ia) CF3CF?CFR, where R has the same meaning as in formula (I), said method including the following steps: (i) hydrogenating at least one compound of formula (Ia) in an adiabatic reactor in the presence of a catalyst with a superstoichiometric amount of hydrogen so as to produce a hydrofluoropropane; (ii) partially condensing the flow from the adiabatic reactor of step (i) so as to produce a gaseous phase fraction, including unreacted hydrogen and a portion of the formed hydrofluoropropane, which is recirculated to step (i), and a liquid phase fraction including the residue of the hydrofluoropropane; (iii) dehydrofluorinating hydrofluoropropane from the liquid fraction of step (ii) using potassium hydroxide in an aqueous reaction medium contained in an agitated reactor so as to produce the fluoropropene of formula (I); and (iv) purifying the fl

  • Patent number: 8269052
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing pentafluoroethane, and especially to a method comprising (i) a step during which perchloroethylene and optionally 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and/or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane react(s) with hydrofluoric acid in a gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst in an adiabatic multi-stage reactor, and optionally (ii) a step of separating the flow produced in step (i) in order to obtain a fraction of light products and a fraction of heavy products.
