Azeotrope compositions comprising 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and hydrogen fluoride and uses thereof

摘要

Disclosed herein are azeotrope and near-azeotrope compositions comprising 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropentene (HFC-1225zc) and hydrogen fluoride. These compositions are useful in processes to produce and purify HFC-1225zc. Also disclosed are processes comprising pyrolyzing CF₃CH₂CF₃ to CF₃CH-CF₂. Also disclosed herein are processes for the manufacture of HFC-1225zc comprising pyrolyzing 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236fa) in the absence of dehydrofluorination catalyst in a reactor having a reaction zone.
