Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a process for preparing 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1243zf), the process comprising: (a) fluorinating CCI3CH2CH2CI (250fb) to produce a reaction product comprising CF3CH2CH2CI (253fb) in the liquid phase in a first reactor, using HF as the fluorinating agent; and (b)(i) dehydrohalogenating 253fb to produce 1243zf in the vapour phase in the presence of a catalyst in a second reactor; or (b)(ii) dehydrohalogenating 253fb to produce 1243zf in a second reactor, wherein the reaction product comprising 253fb produced in step (a) has subjected to one or more purification steps before step (b). The present invention also provides an azeotropic or near-azeotropic composition comprising HF and 253fb.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An azeotropic or near-azeotropic composition comprising from about 55 mol % to about 95 mol % HF and from about 45 mol % to about 5 mol % 253fb. 2. An azeotropic or near-azeotropic composition according to claim 1 consisting of from about 55 mol % to about 95 mol % HF and from about 45 mol % to about 5 mol %253fb. 3. An azeotropic or near-azeotropic composition according to claim 1 consisting of from about 65 mol % HF to about 90 mol % and from about 35 mol % to about 10 mol % 253fb. 4. An azeotropic or near-azeotropic composition according to claim 1 consisting of from about 70 mol % to about 85 mol % HF and from about 30 mol % to about 15 mol % 253fb. 5. A composition that is azeotropic at 70° C. and 600 kPa, which consists of about 75 mol % HF and about 25 mol % 253fb.
