Description

CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF HYDROFLUORO ALKANOL TO HYDROFLUOROALKENE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is a novel catalytic process for making hydrofluoroalkene from a hydrofluoroalkanol in high yield using a dehydrating agent and in the presence of a catalyst. More particularly, it relates to making CF3CF=CH2 from CF3CF2CH2OH in high-yield using methane as the reducing agent in the presence of a transition metal catalyst.
2. Discussion of the Background Art 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (R1234yf), which is a probable candidate for low global warming potential refrigerant, has been synthesized by pyrolysis of methyl chloride and tetrafluoroethylene or chlorodifluoromethane. In a reaction, 55 cc./min. MeCl and 110 cc./min. CHClF2 is passed through a Pt tube 6 mm. x 24 in. heated to 8000C. The gaseous products are scrubbed free of HCl and dried to yield only a small amount (14.8 mole-%) of 2,3,3,3- tetrafluoropropene. This process is a low yield process and because of the conversion of pentafluoropropanol obtained in our hand is as high as 100%, almost 90% of the starting material is lost to unimportant byproducts including a sizeable amount of carbon black.
On the other hand, 2,3,3, 3-pentafluoro-l-propanol, which is generally synthesized by the reaction of tetrafluoroethylene, formaldehyde, and HF in the presence of TiF4 as the catalyst and limonene as the polymer inhibitor, can serve as a starting material to synthesize 2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-l-propene (R1234yf). It has been shown previously that fluorine-containing olefins CH2=CFRf [Rf= (per)haloalkyl group)] are prepared at low cost and low toxic waste generation by high-temperature dehalohydrogenation and dehydration of fluoroalcohols such as HOCH2CF2Rf in the presence of H2 gas. Feeding an activated C-packed tube at 5000C with a 1 :3 (mol/mol) mixed gas of HOCH2(CF2)4H and H2 with a residence time of 4 sec yielded CH2:CF(CF2)3H at monomer conversion 64% and selectivity 82%. This is a high-yield process; however, for a plant level production, the handling of H2 at high temperature raises serious safety related questions.
Also, one needs to couple a H2 plant on site with the 1234yf plant. This requires high installment cost. Thus, there is incentive to look for an alternative catalytic process scheme involving an alternative reducing agent instead of hydrogen.
The present invention also provides many additional advantages, which shall become apparent as described below.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention involves the making OfCF3CF=CH2 from CF3CF2CH2OH in high-yield using methane as the reducing agent in the presence of a transition metal catalyst.
Methane is used as the selective dehydrating agent for the production of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (R1234yf) from 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoro-l-propanol. Supported transition metal catalysts are prepared and used for this reaction with high activity. Almost 58% selectivity to R1234yf is obtained at an alcohol conversion level of 60% using unsupported Ni-mesh as the catalyst. Pd and Pt show almost similar level of conversion; however, the selectivity to the desired product is low. The activity of the metal catalyst was found to be a function of the type of support material, activated carbon showing better activity than alumina. Different important process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and contact time are studied to optimize the process. High pressure and temperature are deleterious to the rate of 1234yf formation; yet, the highest yield to 1234yf is obtained while performing a reaction at 4940C with a contact time of 23 sec.
Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be understood by reference to the following drawings and detailed description.

Cat Scheme 1, Dehydration of Pentafluoropropanol in the presence of methane
Methane is used as a mild dehydrogenating agent to synthesize 1234yf from pentafluoropropanol (scheme 1). In a typical reaction, 40 seem of N2 and 20 seem of methane were passed through a cylinder containing pentafluoropropanol at 65-800C to achieve a flow of pentafluoropropanol at 8 gm/hr (20 seem). The gas mixtures were then passed through a preheater at 35O0C and then finally through a catalyst bed comprising of 100 cc of the active catalyst at 400-7000C. The effluent gas mixtures were passed through a 20% KOH solution to neutralize any HF formed during the reaction to KF and H2O. The product mixture was analyzed and identified by GC and GCMS analysis.
The contact time was kept around 20-25 seconds depending on the reaction conditions. The catalysts used for this reaction were selected from transition metals including Ni, Pd, and Pt and the support materials were chosen from thermally stable materials such as activated carbon, carbon nanotubes, SBA-15, SiO2, and γ-alumina.
EXAMPLE 2 (Catalyst preparation)
In the catalyst preparation step, 1.5 to 2.0 gm of the metal (II) chloride precursor salts were dissolved in 100 cc methanol at 600C and then reduced to zero oxidation state by gradually adding stoichiometric amount of reducing agents such as potassium formate, hydrazine, or sodium borohydride in the form of an aqueous solution (10-15% wt/vol) in a semi-batch mode with an addition rate of 1 -2 gm/hr. A 50 ml/min of H2 was also used as the reducing agent by bubble through the precursor solution under atmospheric pressure at 6O0C. After reduction of the metal salts, 100 cc of the support material was added under stirring to the solution and then mixed, concentrated, and dried in a vacuum oven at room temperature over a period of 80-100 hrs. The vacuum dried material was then taken in to a 1 -inch monel tube reactor and further dried and calcined in the presence of anhydrous 50 seem of N2 at 350-5500C. The catalysts, thus prepared, are then finally reduced with a mixture of 10% H2 in N2 at 3500C for 1 hr and then used as such for the above-mentioned reaction.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Table 1, #1-10 shows the results of the experiments using different catalysts under different conditions. It is observed that almost similar conversions were achieved with each one of the catalysts. However, the selectivity to 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-l-propene (1234yf) was found to be a function of the active catalyst component. With Ni-mesh, 58% selectivity to the product olefin was obtained; whereas, only 33% selectivity to the desired product was obtained using Pd/ Alumina as the catalyst. The major byproducts were l,l,l,2,2-pentafluoro-2-chloroethane (Rl 15), Pentafluoroethane (R125), Trifluoromethane (Rl 3), and Fluoromethane (R41). Only traces (equivalent to 0.8-1.2 mol% of pentafluoropropanol) of carbon were formed and deposited on the catalyst surface.
Activated carbon as a support shows superior activity than Alumina (Table 1, # 6-7). Among the three transition metals used, Ni is proven to be the most selective catalyst for this reaction (Table 1, #1, 6-7, and 10). A temperature of 450-5000C is suitable for this reaction, a further increase in temperature results in low selectivity and high loss of starting material to byproducts (Table 1, # 1 and 4-5). The reactor pressure is kept at 1.2 psig during the reaction. An increase in pressure up to 10 psig decreases the selectivity drastically (Table 1, # 7-9).
The contact time was optimized at 23-25 sec. N2, though, is used as a diluents to keep a constant contact time, can be eliminated by choosing a proper ratio of the two reactants. Lower selectivity (44%) was obtained when no N2 is used in a similar reaction as in #1 (Table 1, #2). However, to minimize separation cost, N2 is avoided by increasing the flow rate of CH4 and Pentafluoropropanol. Almost similar results are obtained in the absence of N2 when the same contact time was maintained by choosing proper flow rates of methane and pentafluoropropanol (Table 1, # 3).
