ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses a process for preparing 1,1-dichlorofluoroethane (HCFC-141b) and 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane (HCFC-142b) from 1,1,1-trichloroethane and hydrogen fluoride which is capable of increasing reaction conversion and selectivity of the reaction products, HCFC-141b and HCFC-142b. According to the process of the invention, HCFC-142b, one of the reaction products, which has high solubility in both hydrogen fluoride and 1,1,1-trichloroethane, in the liquid phase reaction system is maintained at above 20 mole % relative to 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Therefore, the solubility of HF in the organic phase is remarkably enhanced, and the reaction of HF with 1,1,1-trichloroethane or vinylidene chloride is well promoted. Furthermore, the resident time of the reactant in the reaction vessel is shortened and thus the formation of tars is considerably prevented. According to the process of the invention, the hydrogen chloride produced during the fluorination is removed from the top of the reaction vessel, and the reaction mixture, except a minor portion of the lower boiling chlorofluorocarbons, are continuously recovered from the reactants in the bottom of the vessel, and then the desired products are separated from the reaction mixture with recycling the unreacted reactants and an effective amount of 1,1-difluoro-1-chloroethane into the vessel.
