<p>A process for producing 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane by fluorinating with hydrogen fluoride at least one of 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroetahne and 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane as a starting material, the process being characterized by separating the reaction mixture resulting from the fluorination into a product portion A mainly containing 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane and a product portion B mainly containing 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane and hydrogen fluoride, removing a fraction mainly containing 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane from the product portion B, and recycling the rest of the product portion B as part of feedstocks for fluorination. According to the process of the invention, the amount of CFC-115 contained in the target HFC-125 can be remarkably reduced through a simplified procedure. <IMAGE></p> |
