Abstract

Fluoroform is prepared by reacting gaseous chloroform with gaseous hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a catalyst consisting of active carbon impregnated with iron chloride, the reaction being carried out at a temperature between 200 DEG and 400 DEG C. The catalyst is preferably activated charcoal which has been impregnated with ferric chloride, and contains about 12 per cent of iron. Fluoroform is separated from the reaction products; and the by-products, viz. fluorodichloromethane and chlorodifluoromethane, are preferably recirculated over the catalyst with fresh chloroform and hydrogen fluoride. A preferred method of operating is to pass a mixture of hydrogen fluoride with chloroform and recirculated fluorodichloromethane and chlorodifluoromethane over the catalyst at a temperature of about 250 DEG C., and then to pass the products over catalyst in a second reaction stage at about 350 DEG C. The gaseous effluent is washed with water to remove hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride; and the residual gases are dried and condensed. The condensate is fractionally distilled to isolate the fluoroform. The fluorodichloromethane and chlorodifluoromethane are returned to the first reaction stage. Specification 428,445, [Group IV], is referred to.
