Abstract
Catalyst and process for the production of chlorofluorinated hydrocarbons are disclosed by reacting a hydrocarbon with HCl, HF and an oxygen-containing gas under oxychlorofluorination conditions in the presence of a catalytic composition comprising magnesium and copper ions each in combination with fluoride ions and an alkali metal ion, or mixtures thereof, in combination with chloride ions.
Claims9
A novel catalyst composition which comprises in combination at least about 60% by weight of said composition of magnesium and copper ions, each in combination with fluoride ion and at least one alkali metal in combination with chloride ion.
