The subject matter of the invention is a process for preparing fluoroolefin compounds. The invention relates more particularly to a process for producing a (hydro)fluoroolefin compound, which comprises (i) bringing at least one compound comprising from three to six carbon atoms, at least two fluorine atoms and at least one hydrogen atom, on the condition that at least one hydrogen atom and one fluorine atom are located on adjacent carbon atoms, into contact with a solid reactant comprising calcium hydroxide.

Process for preparing fluoroolefin compounds

The invention relates to a gas-phase continuous method for preparing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene, said method comprising the following steps: (i) hydrogenation of hexafluoropropylene to form 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane; (ii) dehydrofluorination of the 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane obtained in the previous step to 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene-1; (iii) hydrogenation of the 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene-1 obtained in the previous step to form 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane; and (iv) dehydrofluorination of the 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane obtained in the previous step to form 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-1-propene.

Isomerization of hydrofluorocarbon

The invention relates to the gas-phase hydrogenolysis of chlorofluorocarbons or of chlorofluorohydrocarbons in the presence of a palladium-based catalyst deposited on a support in which sulfur is incorporated into the catalyst in order to stabilize the catalytic activity.
