Abstract: The present disclosure provides an integrated process for producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I), in three steps: a) reacting a first reactant stream comprising hydrogen (H2) and iodine (I2) in the presence of a first catalyst to produce a first product stream comprising hydrogen iodide (HI); (b) reacting the first product stream with a second reactant stream comprising trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an intermediate product stream comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI); and (c) reacting the intermediate product stream to produce a final product stream comprising trifluoroiodomethane. (CF3I).

Abstract: Two methods for reducing CFC impurities and, in particular, CFC-114, in the HFO-1234ze(E) production process from the reaction of CFC-113 and HF. The first method involves subjecting an intermediate or recycle stream to separation and distillation to purge CFC-113 from the process. The second method involves operating the separation at a higher pressure avoids the formation of an azeotrope between CFC-113 and HFC-245fa. The CFC-113/HFC245fa azeotrope is discussed, as well as other optional processes for removal or mitigation of CFC-113 which include further separations that remove CFC-114 from the HFO-1234ze(E) product and/or CFC-113 from the HFC-245fa feed to produce an HFO-1234ze(E) product that is largely free from CFC-114 and other CFC impurities.
