- this disclosure provides separation techniques that utilize azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFC-1233zd) and water and methods of recovering l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFC-1233zd) from azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions comprising l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water.
- l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene forms azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions or mixtures with water, and more particularly, forms heterogeneous azeotropic and azeotrope-like composition or mixtures with water.
- l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene has a boiling point of about 19°C, has a vapor pressure of 1516 hPa at about 30°C, and has the following structure:
- the modifier "about” used in connection with a quantity is inclusive of the stated value and has the meaning dictated by the context (for example, it includes at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of the particular quantity)-
- the modifier "about” should also be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. For example, the range “from about 2 to about 4" also discloses the range “from 2 to 4.”
- U.S. Patent No. 8,921,621 describes a process for the production of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFC-1233zd) on a commercial scale from the reaction of 1, 1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane (HCC-240fa) and HF.
- HCC-240fa and HF are fed to a liquid phase reactor operating at high pressure.
- the resulting product stream of 1233zd, HCl, HF, and other byproducts is partially condensed to recover HF by phase separation.
- the recovered HF phase is recycled to the reactor.
- the HCl is scmbbed from the vapor stream and recovered as an aqueous solution.
- the remaining organic components including the desired HCFC-1233zd are scrubbed, dried and distilled to meet commercial product specifications.
- FIG. 1 is a process diagram for the recovery of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene from water.
- wet and acid-free 1233zd (HCFO-1233zd) crude vapor from the caustic scrubber outlet are condensed in a condenser.
- the condensed wet 1233zd will then flow (illustrated in FIG. I as flow stream 1 1) into a distillation pump tank or decanting tank 12, where the water will settle as the top layer (first aqueous layer 14) and the 1233zd will settle as bottom layer (first organic layer 16).
- first removal stream 18 During commercial processing of 1233zd, it is expected that one should not need to attend to this water for up to 3 months at 1 ,500 Ibs/hr crude 1233zd production rate and when water is removed, it may be removed as first removal stream 18.
- the removal of water as first removal stream 18 may be accomplished by decanting, selective pumping, or other liquid-liquid separating processes. A monitoring program to track this water volume, and its acidity content, e.g., to prevent any corrosion or overspill incident, has been developed.
- the water is expected to contain about 2,000 ppm crude 1233zd, or about 0.03 lbs/hr organic.
- the term " 'ppm" or "parts-per-million” shall be understood to be the mass fraction unless explicitly stated otherwise. This water can be recycled to the caustic scrubber for organic recovery and disposal.
- first organic layer 16 may then be further processed, such as by distilling the first organic layer.
- first organic layer 16 may flow through distillation inlet 22 to distillation column 20, where the l -chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water may be distilled, including being distilled until forming an azeotrope.
- distillation column 20 can be understood to include any conventional fractionating column or fractionation column that uses distillation to separate a mixture into component parts or fractions based on differences in volatilities.
- the first organic layer 16 may be distilled in distillation column, yielding a bottoms 24 of essentially pure I -chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene while overhead 26 may be condensed and sent either to the first separator 12 and/or to a second phase separator 30.
- the top vapor fraction or overhead 26 may be an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of l -chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene and water.
- 1,3,3 ,3-tetrafluoropropene may also be present and/or may also form an azeotrope with the water in the overhead of the distillation column.
- other other organics and/or impurities in the composition which themselves form azeotropes with water may be used to ad vantageously further draw additional water from the contents of the distillation column 21 in addition to the water which is drawn into the principal azeotrope of 1 - chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water, further drying and purifying the 1233zd collected product.
- both water-containing azeotropes of impurities and/or non- azeotropic compositions of impurities may be drawn away from 1233zd in the distillation column 20 to enhance the purity of the recovered 1233zd.
- excess l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be present in azeotrope composition in the overhead, for example, due to tray inefficiencies or distillation column inefficiencies.
- thermodynamic state of a fluid is defined by its pressure, temperature, liquid composition and vapor composition.
- the liquid composition and vapor phase are essentially equal at a given temperature and pressure range. In practical terms this means that the components cannot be separated during a phase change.
- an azeotrope is a liquid mixture that exhibits a maximum or minimum boiling point relative to the boiling points of surrounding mixture compositions.
- azeotrope-like refers to compositions that are strictly azeotropic and/or that generally behave like azeotropic mixtures.
- An azeotrope or an azeotrope-like composition is an admixture of two or more different components which, when in liquid form under a given pressure, will boil at a substantially constant temperature, which temperature may be higher or lower than the boiling temperatures of the individual components and which will provide a vapor composition essentially identical to the liquid composition undergoing boiling.
- azeotropic compositions may be defined to include azeotrope-like compositions, which is a composition that behaves like an azeotrope, i.e., that has constant boiling characteristics or a tendency not to fractionate upon boiling or evaporation.
- azeotrope-like compositions which is a composition that behaves like an azeotrope, i.e., that has constant boiling characteristics or a tendency not to fractionate upon boiling or evaporation.
- the composition of the vapor formed during boiling or evaporation is the same as or substantially the same as the original liquid composition.
- the liquid composition if it changes at ail, changes only to a minimal or negligible extent. This is in contrast with non-azeotrope-like compositions in which during boiling or evaporation, the liquid composition changes to a substantial degree.
- the essential features of an azeotrope or an azeotrope-like composition are that at a given pressure, the boiling point of the liquid composition is fixed and that the composition of the vapor above the boiling composition is essentially that of the boiling liquid composition, i.e., essentially no fractionation of the components of the liquid composition takes place. Both the boiling point and the weight percentages of each component of the azeotropic composition may change when the azeotrope or azeotrope-like liquid composition is subjected to boiling at different pressures.
- an azeotrope or an azeotrope-like composition may be defined in terms of the relationship that exists between its components or in terms of the compositional ranges of the components or in terms of exact weight percentages of each component of the composition characterized by a fixed boiling point at a specified pressure.
- compositions which comprises effective amounts of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water to form an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition is pro vided.
- effective amount is an amount of each component which, when combined with the other component, results in the formation of an azeotrope or azeotrope-like mixture.
- compositions preferably are binary azeotropes which comprise or consist essentially of combinations of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water, or consist of combinations of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water.
- binary azeotropes which comprise or consist essentially of combinations of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water, or consist of combinations of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water.
- the term '"consisting essentially of, with respect to the components of an azeotrope-like composition or mixture means the composition contains the indicated components in an azeotrope-like ratio, and may contain additional components provided that the additional components do not form new azeotrope-like systems.
- azeotrope-like mixtures consisting essentially of two compounds are chose that form binary azeotropes, which optionally may include one or more additional components, provided that the additional components do not render the mixture non- azeotropic and do not fonn an azeotrope with either or both of the compounds (e.g., do not form a ternary azeotrope).
- heteroazeotrope and ' “ heterogeneous azeotrope' 1 mean an azeotrope-like composition comprising a vapor phase existing concurrently with two liquid phases.
- the present disclosure also encompasses generating an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water followed by isolating the azeotrope from impurities.
- the present disclosure also includes steps for separating and purifying 1- chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene from the azeotropic mixture, as discussed in greater detail below.
- l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene may be produced using one or more methods that are known in the art, in which l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene is produced as a component of a reactant mixture containing one or more impurities.

- Separation methods may include any method generally known in the art.
- the excess water cars be removed from the I -chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene by liquid-liquid phase separation, though other alternatives include distillation or scrubbing.
- the remaining water can then be removed from the l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene by distillation and/or the use of one or more drying media or desiccants such as molecular sieves, calcium sulfate, silica, alumina, and combinations thereof.
- Exemplary methods can be used for recovering l-chioro-3, 3, 3 -trifluoropropene.
- Recovery method 1 may include forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene and water (step 2), conveying the formed azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition into a separator (step 3), and recovering an organic layer comprising l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene (step 4).
- the overhead may be split, before or after condensing, into a light organics purge 25 and an overhead products stream 26, which may have an azeotropic composition of water and l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, and may be condensed and sent to a second phase separator 30.
- the light organics purge may be part of second phase separator 30.
- Light organics purge may be used to remove light organics present in production systems and may include compounds such as 1,3,3,3- tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze) isomers, 1 ,1, 1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC ⁇ 245fa) and, in some cases, some HFO-1233zd.

- the purified l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene (1233zd) may be used as an end product such as a refrigerant, blowing agent, propellant, or diluent for gaseous sterilization, or it may be used as a monomer, as an intermediate, or otherwise further processed for the production of alternative HFOs or similar compounds.
- the purified azeotrope meets the current need in the art for mixtures that have no ozone depletion potential and are negligible contributors to greenhouse global w arming and are nonflammable.
- a mixture may be utilized in a wide range of uses such as, but not limited to, refrigerants, blowing agents, propellants and diluents for gaseous sterilization.
- the azeotrope may be provided in combination with other useful additives or ingredients for such purposes.
- the top water layer is withdrawn and expected to have about 4 lbs of water and to contain about 2,000 ppm of dissolved HCFO-1233zd or 0.008 lbs. This water can be recycled to the caustic scrubber for organic recover ⁇ ' or be disposed.
- the bottom HCFO-1233zd organic layer is withdrawn and expected to have about 1,000 lbs of HCFO-1233zd and to contain about 400 ppm of dissolved water or 0.4 lbs.
- This resulting HCFO-1233zd stream is then dried with a drying agent such as molecular sieve 3A or 4A, activated alumina, silica gel, CaSCU, and the like.
- the drying equipment size can be made much smaller than those used in prior art processing. Furtliermore, given that the molecular sieve can be regenerated, the ultimate drying agent consumption can be minimized.
- 1,000 lbs of liquid crude HCFO-1233zd containing 10 lbs of HF acid is mixed with about 300 lbs of water and/or diluted caustic solution and then washed to remove the acid at su b- cooled temperature while maintaining the mixture in a liquid phase.
- the resulting wet and acid free HCFO-1233zd will then flow into a decanter.
- the water or caustic solution will settle as top layer while the HCFO-1233zd will settle as bottom layer.
- the above can be carried out stage-wise (e.g., first washing with water and decanting, then followed by washing with aqueous caustic and decanting, etc.).
- the top water or caustic layer is withdrawn and expected to have about 300 lbs of water and to contain about 2,000 ppm. of dissolved HCFO-1233zd or 0.6 lbs. This water or caustic solution can subsequently be heated or stripped to recover valuable organic or be disposed.
- the bottom HCFO-1233zd organic layer is withdrawn and expected to have about 1,000 lbs of HCFO-1233zd and to contain about 400 ppm of dissolved water or 0.4 lbs.
- This resulting HCFO-1233zd stream is then dried with a drying agent such as molecular sieve 3 A or 4A, activated alumina, silica gel, CaSCU, and the like.
- the drying equipment size can be made much smaller than those used in prior art processing. Furthermore, given that the molecular sieve can be regenerated, the ultimate drying agent consumption can be minimized.
- Example 3 Processing of Crude 1233zd in a Pilot Plant [0058] 100 lbs of wet and acid-free crude HCFO-1233zd vapor from the caustic scrubber outlet is condensed in a condenser. The condensed wet HCFO-1233zd will then flow into a decanter. The water will settle as top layer while the HCFO-1233zd will settle as bottom layer,
- the bottom HCFG-1233zd organic layer is withdrawn.
- This resulting HCFO-1233zd stream is then dried with a drying agent such as molecular sieve 3A or 4A, activated alumina, silica gel, CaS0 , and the like.
- the organic layer may be further processed, such as by forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition to further separate water and l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene.
- Example 4 1,000 lbs hr of wet and acid-free 1-chloro- 3,3,3-trifluoropropene vapor was condensed in a condenser.
- the resulting mixture was then sent to a phase separator. Water settled as the top layer while the l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene settled as the bottom (organic) layer.
- the water layer contained 2,000 ppm crude l-chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene or about 0.2 lbs/hr organic.
- the water layer containing l-chloro-3,3,3- trifiuoropropene was then processed as below according to Example 4 and Example 5.
- This overhead mixture was then sent to a phase separator or caustic scrubber to re- separate out the water from the l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene contained in the overhead.
- the top layer was found to contain the 0,41b/hr of water and may either be recycled back to die first phase separator, may be discarded, or may be partially recycled.
- the water phase of first phase separator may also be discarded or sent for further processing.
- the organic phase was then returned to the distillation column as reflux.
- the bottoms was found to yield nearly 100% l -chloro-3,3,3 ⁇ trifluoropropene, whereas the reflux scream 40 was found to contain about 50 ppm of water.
- composition of the bottoms stream was able to be controlled to yield between 1 ppm by weight water to about 90 ppm by weight water.
- a substantially pure and dry l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene was removed from the distillation column.
- azeotropic or azeotropic-like compositions of l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and water can be used to recover l -chloro-3,3,3- trifluoropropene in an economical fashion.
