    Kurt F. Hirsekorn - Midland MI, US
  • Assignee:
    Dow Global Technologies LLC - Midland MI
  • International Classification:
    C07C 17/00
  • US Classification:
    570261

  • Assignee:
    Dow Global Technologies, LLC - Midland MI
  • International Classification:
    C07C 17/00
  • US Classification:
    570159, 570101, 570136, 570155, 570190, 570216, 570237
  • Abstract:
    The present invention provides isothermal multitube reactors suitable for the production of chlorinated and/or fluorinated propene and higher alkenes from the reaction of chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkanes and chlorinated and/or fluorinated alkenes. The reactors utilize a feed mixture inlet temperature at least 20 C. different from a desired reaction temperature.

  • Process For The Production Of Chlorinated And/Or Fluorinated Propenes

  • US Patent:
    8581011, Nov 12, 2013
  • Filed:
    Oct 8, 2010
  • Appl. No.:
    12/900810
  • Inventors:
    Max M. Tirtowidjojo - Lake Jackson TX, US
    Debashis Chakraborty - Lake Jackson TX, US
    Juergen Eiffler - Stade, DE
    Kurt F. Hirsekorn - Midland MI, US
  • Assignee:
    Dow Global Technologies, LLC - Midland MI
  • International Classification:
    C07C 21/18
  • US Classification:
    570159, 570160
  • Abstract:
    The present invention provides one-step processes for the production of chlorinated and/or fluorinated propenes. The processes provide good product yield with low, e. g. , less than about 20%, or even less than 10%, concentrations of residues/by-products. Advantageously, the processes may be conducted at low temperatures than 500 C. so that energy savings are provided, and/or at higher pressures so that high throughputs may also be realized. The use of catalysts or initiators may provide additional enhancements to conversion rates and selectivity, as may adjustments to the molar ratio of the reactants.
