  • Patent number: 7038095
    Abstract: A mixture of fluoroalkyl iodide telomers represented by the formula: Rf(CF2CF2)nI wherein Rf represents a fluoroalkyl group whose number of carbon atoms is in the range of 1 to 10, with the polymerization degree n equal to or more than k that is an integer of 3 or more, is obtained by reacting a fluoroalkyl iodide with tetrafluoroethylene in a first reactor followed by fractionating a first reaction mixture which contains fluoroalkyl iodide telomers of low polymerization degree, as well as by reacting the telomer with n of (k?1) separated from the first reaction mixture with tetrafluoroethylene in the second reactor.

  • Patent number: 5849963
    Abstract: According to the method for producing difluoromethane and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, having the steps of:(1) reacting methylene chloride and 1,1,2-trichloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride in a vapor phase In the presence of a fluorinating catalyst and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane in a first reactor; and(2) reacting 1,1,1-trifluorochloroethane with hydrogen fluoride in a vapor phase in the presence of a fluorinating catalyst in a second reactor, and supplying the reaction mixture from the second reactor to the first reactor, HFC-32 can be obtained in high conversion and high selectivity by fluorinating HCC-30 using commonly a large (excess) amount of HF which is required for producing HFC-134a.
