The present disclosure relates to a process for preparing 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluorpropene comprising: (a) hydrogenating 1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst to form 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-dichloropropane and (b) dehydrochlorinating 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,3-dichloropropane in the presence of a dehydrochlorination catalyst to form 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluorpropene.

A fluorination catalyst such as a chromium oxide-based fluorination catalyst may be activated or reactivated by contacting the catalyst. with a source of reactive fluorine, for example nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) or fluorine (F2). Fluorinated compounds may be prepared by the gas phase reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) with various substrates such as chlorinated compounds. A number of metal oxide-based catalysts have been developed for this purpose.

A process for the regeneration of a catalyst is presented. The catalyst is in a reactor for use in benzene alkylation, and periodically needs to be regenerated. The reactor is taken off-line, and a regenerant is passed through the reactor, producing an effluent stream. A portion of the effluent stream is recycled through the reactor without passing through a clean-up process.

This application is in the field of technologies for desulfurization and demercaptanization of raw gaseous hydrocarbons (including natural gas, tail gas, technological gas, etc, including gaseous media). It can be used for simultaneous dehydration and desulfurization/demercaptanization of any kind of raw gaseous hydrocarbons.
