Patent ID: 11795125

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for conversion of a mixture of high-boiling fluorinated components comprising 1,1,3,3-tetrachloro-1-fluoropropane (HCFC-241fa), 1,3,3-trichloro-1, 1-difluoropropane (HCFC-242fa), 1,1,3-trichloro-1,3-difluoropropane (HCFC-242fb), 3,3-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoropropane (HCFC-243fa), 1,3-dichloro-1,1,3-trifluoropropane (HCFC-243fb), 3-chloro-1,1,1,3-tetrafluoropropane (HCFC-244fa), their isomers, and combinations thereof, to 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd). Heavy impurities, such as oligomers and other high boiling impurities, that are present may be purged during the process to prevent yield loss and reduction of catalyst efficacy.
