Usage

General Description

1,2-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C2Cl2F4. It is a colorless, odorless gas that is primarily used as a refrigerant due to its low toxicity and flammability. It has a high global warming potential and ozone depletion potential, making it environmentally harmful. It is also used as a solvent and as a propellant in aerosol products. Exposure to 1,2-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea, and prolonged exposure can result in central nervous system depression. Due to its negative environmental and health effects, measures are being taken to phase out and replace 1,2-Dichlorotetrafluoroethane with more environmentally friendly alternatives.

PROCESS FOR PREPARING FLUORINE-CONTAINING PROPANE

The present invention provides a process for preparing a fluorine-containing propane represented by the formula: CF2XCF2CH3 wherein X is F or Cl, the process including reacting tetrafluoroethylene and methyl chloride in the presence of an antimony halide represented by the formula: SbFxC5-x wherein x is a value of 0 to 5. According to the present invention, the fluorine-containing propane represented by the formula: CF2XCF2CH3 wherein X is F or Cl, which is useful as a starting material of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234yf), can be obtained by a simple process, using relatively inexpensive starting materials.

PHOTOCHLORINATION AND FLUORINATION PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF FLUORINE-CONTAINING HYDROCARBONS

A process is disclosed for increasing the fluorine content of at least one compound selected from halohydrocarbons and hydrocarbons. The process involves (a) directing light from a light source through the wall of a reactor to interact with reactants comprising chlorine and said at least one compound in said reactor, thereby producing a halogenated hydrocarbon having increased chlorine content by photochlorination, and (b) reacting said halogenated hydrocarbon produced by the photochlorination in (a) with HF; and is characterized by the light directed through the reactor wall being directed through a poly(perhaloolefin) polymer.
