International Classification:

C01B 1745

US Classification:

423468

Filed:

Dec 26, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/107123

Inventors:

Henry R. Nychka - East Aurora NY
John B. Hino - Cheektowaga NY
Richard E. Eibeck - Orchard Park NY
Martin A. Robinson - East Amherst NY

Assignee:

Allied Corporation - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

C07C 1702

US Classification:

570123

Abstract:

Octafluoropropane or perfluoropropane is produced by introducing fluorine into an elongated inner zone surrounded by a porous member which is substantially resistant to fluorine corrosion and introducing a three carbon compound which is propane, a partially fluorinated propane, propene, a partially fluorinated propene, hexafluoropropene or mixtures thereof outside the porous member. When the porous member is metal, a perfluorinated diluent is used. When the porous member is fused alumina, conventional diluents such as nitrogen, or even no diluent may be employed.

Allied Chemical Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

C07C 356
C07C 318

US Classification:

585465

Abstract:

When saturated with boron trifluoride, certain polyhydric alcohols form adducts which catalyze hydrocarbon alkyl transfer reactions for which boron trifluoride is catalytic. The adduct is recovered from the reaction mixture and recycled, greatly reducing boron and fluoride values in the product and in any effluent. Examples include propylation of toluene in the presence of a recycled adduct of boron trifluoride with mannitol or sorbitol, and the oligomerization of decene by a recycled adduct of boron trifluoride with mannitol or butanediol. Some of the catalysts become viscous on cooling and are thus more easily separated from the reaction products which remain in a separate liquid phase.

International Classification:

C07C 5158

US Classification:

260544Y

Abstract:

A process for the preparation of perhaloalkanoyl chloride is disclosed which comprises reacting 1,1,1-trichloroperfluoroalkane, with a sulfur trioxide-containing compound selected from the group consisting of oleum sulfur trioxide and stabilized sulfur trioxide in the presence of catalytic amounts of a halogen catalyst selected from the group consisting of iodine, bromine, iodine monobromide and iodine monochloride and bromine monochloride. The preferred product is trifluoroacetyl chloride.

Appl. No.:

5/973268

Inventors:

David J. Friedland - Snyder NY
Floyd L. Tewksbury - Williamsville NY
Martin A. Robinson - East Amherst NY

Assignee:

Allied Chemical Corporation - Morris Township, Morris County NJ

International Classification:

C01G 4300

US Classification:

423 8

Abstract:

Certain metals, and especially uranium, are recovered from an organic solvent by stripping with an aqueous solution containing polymeric phosphates under conditions in which the polymeric phosphate does not quickly hydrolize and metal preferentially dissolves in the aqueous solution. The metal may then be recovered from the aqueous solution by hydrolizing the polymeric phosphates and either precipitating the metal or reextracting the metal at higher concentrations with an organic solvent containing extractants.

US Classification:

260544F

Abstract:

Fluoroorganic compounds are prepared by reacting a haloorganic starting material in which at least one halo atom is replaceable with a fluorine atom by metathetical exchange, with calcium fluoride in the presence of a crown ether and an anhydrous, polar, basic organic solvent which complexes with the calcium ion and contains no --OH groups, at a temperature and for a period of time adequate to effect fluorination.

US Classification:

568386

Abstract:

A process for the preparation of hexafluoroacetone which comprises contacting, in the liquid phase, hexafluorothioacetone dimer in the presence of an aprotic solvent containing a catalytic amount of an alkali metal fluoride with a gaseous oxidant selected from the group consisting of air, O. sub. 2, O. sub. 3, NO. sub. 2 and NO is disclosed.
