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). The present invention further provides methods for making high purity 1233zd(E) with concentration of 1233xf and 1224 at or below 200 parts per million (ppm) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne impurities at or below 20 ppm. 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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process in which the fluorination of an organic reactant comprising 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane (240fa) with anhydrous HF is conducted in the presence of an effective amount of a phase-transfer catalyst which facilitates the reaction between these incompatible reaction components to produce 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-propene (1233zd). Other organic reactant materials include 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene (HCO-1230za), 1,3,3,3-tetrachloropropene (HCO-1230zd), and various mixtures with or without 240fa.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a manufacturing process to produce high purity 1234yf from 245eb, which preferably includes the removal of impurities present in 245eb raw material, the dehydrofluorination of 245eb, and the removal of impurities present in final crude product. The disclosed manufacturing process allows the production of a 1234yf product with lower the levels of 1225ye and/or trifluoropropene, preferably in amounts of less than about 500, and 50 ppm, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating hazardous materials, such as those which result from an unwanted spill or leak, which comprise one or more of the steps or effects of: neutralizing the dispersed material; solidifying the dispersed material; immobilizing the material; and/or reducing the evolution of harmful or unwanted gaseous forms from the spillage, preferably using a binding agent which comprises a polyacrylate-polyacrylamide cross-linked copolymer.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions useful in a wide variety of applications, including heat transfer fluids which possess a highly desirable and unexpectedly superior combination of properties, and heat transfer systems and methods based on these fluids. The preferred heat transfer fluid comprises from about 1 to about 40 percent, on a weight basis, of carbon dioxide (CO2) and from about 99 to about 60 percent, on a weight basis, of a compound having the Formula I XCFzR3-z (I), where X is a C2 or a C3 unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, alkyl radical, each R is independently Cl, F, Br, I or H, and z is 1 to 3. A preferred compound of Formula I is tetrafluoropropene, particularly 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene and/or 1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropene.

Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated process to co-produce trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-propene (1233zd(E)), trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze(E)), and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa). Overall the co-production is a three-step process. The chemistry involves the steps of: (1) the reaction of 240fa with anhydrous HF in excess in a liquid-phase catalyzed reactor in such a way as to co-produce primarily 1233zd(E) and 244fa (plus byproduct HCl); (2) the 244fa stream can then be used to directly produce any of the three desired products; (3a) the 244fa stream can be dehydrochlorinated to produce the desired second product 1234ze(E); and/or (3b) the 244fa stream can be dehydrofluorinated to produce 1233zd(E) if more of that product is desired; and/or (3c) the 244fa stream can be further fluorinated to form 245fa.

Abstract: Processes for the preparation and purification of hydrofluoroolefins such as tetrafluorinated propenes. A process is provided for separating a first hydrofluoroolefin from a second hydrofluoroolefin by a) providing a mixture including a first hydrofluoroolefin and a second hydrofluoroolefin, which first hydrofluoroolefin is preferentially more reactive with an amine than the second hydrofluoroolefin; b) adding a sufficient amount of an amine to the mixture to form a combination including the second hydrofluoroolefin and a reaction product of the first hydrofluoroolefin and the amine; and then c) separating the reaction product from the combination. This is particularly useful for removing 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (HFO-1225ye) impurities from the hydrofluoroolefin 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf). HFO-1234yf is a refrigerant with low global warming potential.
