A process for the production of dichlorotrifluoroethane is described. The process comprises reacting perchloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride in the vapour phase at elevated temperature in at least one reactor in the presence of a fluorination catalyst to produce a composition comprising dichlorotrifluoroethane, hydrogen chloride, unreacted perchloroethylene and unreacted hydrogen fluoride. The composition that is produced is subjected to a separation step to recover a first fraction comprising dichlorotrifluoroethane and a second fraction comprising perchloroethylene and hydrogen fluoride. The second fraction is further separated into a hydrogen fluoride-rich fraction and a perchloroethylene-containing, organic-rich fraction which are then recycled. The dichlorotrifluoroethane that is recovered may be used to prepare pentafluoroethane. |
