Abstract
Disclosed is an integrated manufacturing process to co-produce (E) 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, (E) 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-propane starting from a single starting feed material or a mixture of unsaturated hydrochlorocarbon feed materials comprising 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropene and/or 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene. The process includes a combined liquid or vapor phase reaction/purification operation which directly produces (E) 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-propene (1233zd (E)) from these feed materials, which may also include 240fa. In the second liquid phase fluorination reactor 1233zd (E) is contacted with HF in the presence of catalyst to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa) with high conversion and selectivity. A third reactor is used for dehydrofluorination of 245fa to produce (E) 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze (E)) by contacting in the liquid phase with a caustic solution or in the vapor phase using a dehydrofluorination catalyst. This operation may be followed by one or more purification processes to recover the 1234ze (E) product.
