Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of 1,1,1 - trifluoroethane (HFC-143a).
  • HFC-143a is used as a component of refrigerant mixtures replacing chlorofluorocarbons.
  • Patent application EP-A-714 874 describes the manufacture of HFC-143a from 1,1-Difluoro-1-chloroethane (HCFC-142b) in the vapor phase with an HF / HCFC-142b molar ratio greater than 1.
  • the European patent EP-B-714874 teaches that this ratio must be at least 1.3 to avoid the formation of by-products by decomposition of HCFC-142b.
  • the invention therefore relates to a process for the production of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a), according to which 1,1-Difluoro-1-chloroethane (HCFC-142b) is subjected to a vapor phase reaction with hydrogen fluoride (HF) in the presence of a hydrofluorination catalyst, process in which the molar ratio between HCFC-142b and HF introduced into the reaction in the vapor phase is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 1 3.

Preferably, the contact time is greater than or equal to 10 s. In the process according to the invention, the contact time defined as the ratio between the volume of the catalyst divided by the flow rate of HF and HCFC-142b introduced into the reactor is generally less than or equal to 200 s. Preferably, the contact time is less than or equal to 50 s.
  • the hydrofluorination catalyst can be chosen, for example, from supported or unsupported metal salts. Where appropriate, the support can be, for example, activated carbon.
