Abstract

1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (134a) is prepared by reacting, in the gas phase, trichloroethylene with 1,1,1-trifluorochloroethane (133a) and hydrofluoric acid with trichloroethylene/133a molar ratios ranging from 5/95 to 50/50, in the presence of a catalyst consisting of Cr2 O3 carried on AlF3.The process provides 134a yields higher than 90% and permits an exceptionally long life of the catalyst. In this way it is possible to realize a continuous process by recycling the unreacted trichloroethylene and 133a, thereby making up for the relatively low global conversion of the reagents.
