Problems solved by technology

However, due to the occurrence of hydrogenolytic cleavage of the carbon-fluorine bond, a small amount of HF is generated during hydrogenation of fluoroolefin which can attack the transition alumina catalyst support causing catalyst structure change and catalyst deactivation.
Thus, all known transition alumina supports for metal catalysts are inclined to be attacked by HF in the hydrogenation of fluoroolefins, thereby limiting the useful lifetime.

Comparison of Gamma-Alumina and Alpha-Alumina Supported Pd Catalysts for 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropene hydrogenation

[0032]0.5 wt % Pd / gamma-alumina and 0.5 wt % Pd / alpha-alumina, which have a specific surface area of 243 and 33 m2 / g, respectively, were compared for 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropene (HFP) hydrogenation. About 2 g of catalyst diluted with 20 ml of Monel packing was charged into a ¾″ Monel tube reactor and was in-situ reduced in 10% H2 / N2 flow for 2 hours at 200° C. HFP was fed into reactor at a rate of 5 g / h, and H2 was co-fed according to a mole ratio of H2 / HFP equal to 1.5. As shown in Table 2, both catalysts initially provided a near complete HFP conversion and a 236ea selectivity of above 99.5%. Nevertheless, as shown in FIG. 1, while no deactivation was noted over the 0.5 wt % Pd / alpha-alumina catalyst even after 1000 h on stream, rapid deactivation was observed over the 0.5 wt % Pd / gamma-alumina beginning around 600 h on stream. This indicates that the alpha-alumina...

Hydrogenation of 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropene Over Alpha-Alumina Supported Pd Catalyst

[0033]0.5 wt % Pd / alpha-alumina catalyst, which has a specific surface area of 33 m2 / g, was used for 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropene (HFP) hydrogenation. About 1 g of catalyst diluted with 10 ml of Monel packing was charged into a ¾″ Monel tube reactor and was in-situ reduced in 10% H2 / N2 flow for 2 hours at 200° C. HFP was fed into reactor at a rate of 65 g / h, and H2 was co-fed according to a mole ratio of H2 / HFP equal to 1.5. GC analysis of the product stream showed that the catalyst provided an HFP conversion of around 55% and a 245eb selectivity of about 99.5%. No deactivation was noted during the period of time of the test which lasted for 800 hours, indicating the alpha-alumina supported Pd catalyst can provide stable activity for HFP hydrogenation.

Hydrogenation of 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene Over Alpha-Alumina Supported Pd Catalyst

[0034]0.5 wt % Pd / alpha-alumina catalyst, which has a specific surface area of 33 m2 / g, was used for 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene (1225ye) hydrogenation. About 0.5 g of catalyst diluted with 10 ml of Monel packing was charged into a ¾″ Monel tube reactor and was in-situ reduced in 10% H2 / N2 flow for 2 hours at 200° C. 1225ye was fed into reactor at a rate of 30 g / h, and H2 was co-fed according to a mole ratio of H2 / 1225ye equal to 1.5. GC analysis of the product stream showed that the catalyst provided a 1225ye conversion of around 45% and a 245eb selectivity of about 98.5%. No deactivation was noted during the period of time of the test which lasted for 800 hours, indicating the alpha-alumina supported Pd catalyst can provide stable activity for 1225ye hydrogenation.

Abstract

An alpha-alumina support for a hydrogenation catalyst useful in hydrogenating fluoroolefins is provided.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to catalysts for hydrogenating olefins. More particularly, this invention relates to supported catalyst for hydrogenating fluoroolefins.[0003]2. Description of Prior Art[0004]Catalytic hydrogenation of fluoroolefins is frequently used in producing hydrofluorocarbons as useful products and / or intermediates. Various metals, such as Pd, supported on a substrate have long been recognized as highly effective hydrogenation catalysts. These catalysts are particularly effective in gas-phase reactions. Alumina is known as a support for these catalysts. Alumina has several different phases, typically designated by different Greek letters, e.g., alpha (α) (also known as corundum), beta (β), chi (χ), kappa (κ), eta (η), theta (θ), delta (δ), and gamma (λ). Each has a unique crystal structure and properties. For example, alpha alumina is composed of hexagonal crystals, whereas gamma alumina is composed of cubic crystals. (h...
