Tetrafluoropropene Production Processes

摘要

A process is disclosed for the manufacture of CF3CF=CH2 and CF3CH=CHF. The process involves dehydrofluorinating CF3CHFCH2F in the presence of a dehydrofluorination catalyst to produce a product mixture comprising CF3CF=CH2 and CF3CH=CHF, and recovering said CF3CF=CH2 and CF3CH=CHF from the product mixture. The present invention also provides a composition comprising (a) the Z-isomer of CF3CH=CHF and (b) HF; wherein the HF is present in an effective amount to form an azeotropic combination with the Z-CF3CH=CHF.
