  • Patent number: 8853472
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for reducing the amount of monofluoroacetate. The process involves (a) contacting a hydrofluorocarbon with a reactant basic aqueous solution to produce an organic phase solution containing a hydrofluoroolefin and an aqueous phase solution containing a monofluoroacetate; and (b) heating the aqueous phase solution to an effective temperature to reduce the amount of monofluoroacetate in the aqueous phase solution, wherein fluoride concentration in the aqueous phase solution is substantially high. Another process is disclosed for reducing the amount of monofluoroacetate.

  • Patent number: 5094773
    Abstract: Azeotropes of HF and 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane and of HF and 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane. Process for the separation of hydrogen fluoride (HF), 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (FC-123), and/or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (FC-124) from mixtures containing them by controlling the molar ratio of HF/FC-123 in the mixture prior to subjecting the mixture to azeotropic distillation.

  • Patent number: 4911792
    Abstract: Process for the separation of HF, 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (FC-123) and/or 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (FC-124) mixture by subjecting the mixture to a temperature from about -80.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. and a pressure from about 0.10 MPa to about 3.55 MPa in a separation zone, whereby an organic phase having less than 15 mole percent of HF is formed as the bottom layer in the separation zone and an acid phase having at least 93 mole percent of HF is formed at the top in the separation zone.

  • Patent number: 4057701
    Abstract: A control system for a pair of hydraulic lift actuators for adjusting the position of a blade-carrying frame of a motor grader includes a pair of control levers respectively operatively connected to a pair of direction control valves which are, in turn, respectively connected to the pair of actuators and selectively operable by means of the levers to place the actuators in neutral, extension, retraction, and float conditions. Each of the levers includes a hollow handle section having an electric switch mounted therein and a finger-operable sleeve is reciprocably mounted on the handle section for selectively closing the switch. Each switch is connected to an electrically responsive portion of a respective one of the control valves and when closed causes the valve to shift to effect the float condition in an associated one of the actuators.
