Abstract
The present invention relates, at least in part, to a process for making chlorotrifluoroethylene (CFO-1113) from 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123a). In certain aspects, the process includes dehydrochlorinating 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123a) in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of (i) one or more metal halides; (ii) one or more halogenated metal oxides; (iii) one or more zero-valent metals or metal alloys; (iv) combinations thereof.
Claims8
A process for producing chlorotrifluoroethylene (CFO-1113) comprising:
- dehydrochlorinating 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123a) in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of (i) one or more metal halides;
- (ii) one or more halogenated metal oxides;
- (iii) one or more zero-valent metals or metal alloys;
- and (iv) combinations thereof to produce a reaction product comprising CFO-1113, wherein the catalyst comprises fluorinated MgO and one or more of a fluorinated Cs2O, a fluorinated Li2O, a fluorinated Na2O, and/or a fluorinated K2O, and wherein said fluorinated Cs2O, fluorinated Li2O, fluorinated Na2O, and/or fluorinated K2O is present in an amount of about 5.0 wt. % to about 50 wt % based on the total weight of the catalyst.
A process for producing chlorotrifluoroethylene (CFO-1113) comprising:
- dehydrochlorinating 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (HCFC-123a) in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of (i) one or more metal halides;
- (ii) one or more halogenated metal oxides;
- (iii) one or more zero-valent metals or metal alloys;
- and (iv) combinations thereof to produce a reaction product comprising CFO-1113, wherein the zero valent metal or zero valent metal alloy comprises one or more of Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, and/or Ir supported on MgO.
