An integrated process for producing trifluoroiodomethane

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an integrated process for producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I), in three steps: a) reacting a first reactant stream comprising hydrogen (H2) and iodine (I2) in the presence of a first catalyst to produce a first product stream comprising hydrogen iodide (HI); (b) reacting the first product stream with a second reactant stream comprising trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) in the presence of a second catalyst to produce an intermediate product stream comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI); and (c) reacting the intermediate product stream to produce a final product stream comprising trifluoroiodomethane. (CF3I).
