Filed:
Jul 30, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/512955
Inventors:
DANIEL C. MERKEL - West Seneca NY, US

US Classification:
570156
Abstract:
The invention provides an improved process to manufacture 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244) by reacting 2-chloro-3,3,3,-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233) with hydrogen fluoride, in a liquid phase reaction in the presence of hydrogen chloride and a liquid phase fluorination catalyst. The hydrogen chloride is added into the reaction from an external source at a pressure of about 100 psig or more. The HCFC-244is an intermediate in the production of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene-1 (HFO-1234).

International Classification:
C07C 17/23
US Classification:
570155
Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of halogenated olefins in semi-batch mode by dehydrohalogenation of halogenated alkanes in the presence of an aqueous base such as KOH which simultaneously neutralizes the resulting hydrogen halide. During the process, aqueous base is continuously added to the haloalkane which results in better yields, lower by-product formation and safer/more controllable operation.

Integrated Process For Fluoro-Olefin Production

US Patent:
8618340, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Nov 3, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/611288
Inventors:
Haluk Kopkalli - Staten Island NY, US
Yuon Chiu - Denville NJ, US
Stephen A. Cottrell - Baton Rouge LA, US
Hsueh Sung Tung - Getzville NY, US
Kevin Uhrich - Alden NY, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morriston NJ
International Classification:
C07C 23/18
US Classification:
570188, 570135, 570155, 570157, 570164, 570179
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for the manufacture of HFO-1234yf from TCP in three integrated steps that include hydrofluorination of TCP (tetrachloropropene) to HCFC-1233xf in the vapor phase followed by hydrofluorination of HCFC-1233xf to HCFC-244bb in the liquid phase which is then followed by dehydrochlorination in liquid or vapor phase to produce HFO-1234yf. The vapor phase hydrofluorination is carried out at a higher pressure than the liquid phase hydrofluorination, thereby eliminating the need for compression and/or intermediate recovery. Also, any HCl generated from this reaction is fed to the liquid phase hydrofluorination section to promote agitation and mixing. This results in a more economical process from an initial capital and operating cost versus conducting the 3-steps sequentially.
