Benefits of technology

【0007】 本発明によって、効率的なトリフルオロエチレンの製造方法を提供できるようになる。特に、本発明によって、経時的な変換を増大させることができる。本方法の実施は、触媒の活性が過度に低下する場合に特に重要である。固定触媒床の温度の上昇は、さもなければ減少し続けたであろう触媒の活性を劇的に上昇させる。したがって、本発明によって、トリフルオロエチレンの高い生産性を経時的に維持することができるようになり、方法の生産性全体に影響を与えるであろう、触媒の過度に頻繁な再生ステージが回避できるようになる。したがって、本発明は、触媒の寿命を延長し、したがって方法の全体的な効率を改善するように、反応の温度を制御する方法を提供する。
