Patent ID: 11560345

Abstract:
Provided are a method for producing a fluoroethane, which is the desired product, with high selectivity; and a method for producing a fluoroolefin. The production method according to the present disclosure comprises obtaining a product comprising a fluoroethane represented by CX1X2FCX3X4X5 (wherein X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, or a chlorine atom; and at least one of X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 represents a hydrogen atom) from a fluoroethylene by a reaction in the presence of at least one catalyst in at least one reactor. The reaction is performed by introducing a starting material gas comprising the fluoroethylene into the reactor, and the water content in the starting material gas is 150 ppm by mass or less based on the total mass of the starting material gas.
