Abstract: A process for the production of dichlorotrifluoroethane is described. The process comprises reacting perchloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride (HF) at elevated temperature in the vapour phase in at least one reactor in the presence of a fluorination catalyst. The process is operated so that 30 weight % or more of the perchloroethylene reactant that is fed to the at least one reactor remains unreacted having passed through the or each reactor. The dichlorotrifluoroethane may be purified and then used as it is or used to prepare pentafluoroethane.

Binary mixtures of 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluorocyclopentane either with about 27 to 35 weight percent methanol, or with about 21 to 29 weight percent ethanol are disclosed as azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions and are particularly suited for use where solvent recovery and reuse is practiced.

Abstract: A process for treating an impure mixture consisting essentially of at least one olefinic impurity and at least one saturated halocarbon selected from fluorocarbons and fluorohydrocarbons by contacting the mixture with a source of hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, whereby the olefinic impurity is converted to a hydrogenated form thereof, to produce a treated mixture consisting essentially of the hydrogenated form of the olefinic impurity or impurities and the saturated halocarbon or halocarbons from the impure mixture.

Abstract: A solvent, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, is stabilized against corrosion by the addition of a non-volatile polyether or complex polyether having an average molecular weight of from about 550 to about 8500. A painting formulation is prepared using the stabilized solvent.

Abstract: A non-aqueous chromating treatment solution comprising a chlorofluorocarbon solvent, chromic acid anhydride, an alcohol solubilizer, and an organic carboxylic acid reaction promotor gives a higher coating amount of chromate film and better corrosion resistance effect.

Abstract: A method for recovery of extraction solvent from a dissolved solute wherein halogen gas evolution and halogen compound retention in the solute are minimized comprises heating a solution of a halogenated organic solvent and the extracted solute in the presence of an ammonium, Group I metal or Group II metal salt of an acid of carbon number 1 to 6, such as ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium formate, sodium carbonate, sodium formate, or calcium formate, to recover the solvent and the solute.
