Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a process for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, comprising the steps of: a) providing a stream A comprising at least one of the compounds selected from the group consisting of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane; b) in a reactor, bringing said stream A into contact with HF in the presence or absence of a fluorination catalyst in order to produce a stream B comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene; characterized in that the electrical conductivity of said stream A provided in step a) is less than 15 mS/cm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A process for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, comprising the steps of: a) providing a stream A comprising at least one starting compound selected from the group consisting of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and 2,3-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane; b) in a reactor, bringing said stream A into contact with HF in the presence or absence of a catalyst in order to produce a stream B comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene; wherein the electrical conductivity of said stream A provided in step a) is less than 15 mS/cm. 2 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein step b) is carried out in the gas phase in the presence of a catalyst. 3 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductivity of said stream A is less than 10 mS/cm. 4 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein step b) is carried out in the presence of a chromium-based catalyst. 5 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is based on chromium and also comprises a cocatalyst selected from the group consisting of Ni, Zn, Co, Mn and Mg. 6 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein stream A comprises 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, HF and 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane. 7 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in addition to 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, stream B comprises HF, HCl, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene which has not reacted and 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoropropane. 8 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein step b) is carried out at a temperature of between 310° C. and 420° C. 9 . The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein step b) is carried out in the presence of hydrofluoric acid having an electrical conductivity of less than 10 mS/cm.
