PROCESS FOR THE REDUCTION OF RfC=CX IMPURITIES IN FLUOROOLEFINS
This disclosure relates to processes which involve: contacting a mixture comprising at least one fluoroolefin and at least one R.sub.fC≡CX impurity with at least one zeolite to reduce the concentration of the at least one R.sub.fC≡CX impurity in the mixture; wherein R.sub.f is a straight-chain perfluorinated alkyl group, and X is H, F, Cl, Br or I; and the at least one zeolite is selected from the group consisting of zeolites having pore opening of at least 4 Angstroms and no more than about 5 Angstroms, zeolites having pore opening of at least about 5 Angstroms and Sanderson electronegativity of no more than about 2.6, and mixtures thereof; provided that the at least one zeolite is not zeolite 4A. This disclosure also relates to processes for making at least one hydrotetrafluoropropene product selected from the group consisting of CF.sub.3CF═CH.sub.2, CF.sub.3CH═CHF, and mixtures thereof; and relates to processes for making at least one hydrochlorotrifluoropropene product selected from the group consisting of CF.sub.3CCl═CH.sub.2, CF.sub.3CH═CHCl, and mixtures thereof.

Method for producing difluoroethylene
The present invention aims to provide an efficient method for obtaining a desired isomer of HFO-1132 from a composition comprising trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(E)) and cis-1,2-difluoroethylene (HFO-1132(Z)). The present invention provides, as a means for solving the problem, a method for producing HFO-1132(E) and/or HFO-1132(Z), comprising steps (1) to (3): (1) supplying a composition comprising HFO-1132(E) and/or HFO-1132(Z) to a reactor filled with a catalyst to perform an isomerization reaction between the HFO-1132(E) and the HFO-1132(Z); (2) separating the reaction product obtained in step (1) into a first stream comprising the HFO-1132(E) as a main component, and a second stream comprising the HFO-1132(Z) as a main component; and (3) recycling the first stream or the second stream obtained in step (2) to the reactor, to subject the first stream or the second stream to the isomerization reaction.

Integrated process to produce 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene
The invention relates to a separation process whereby 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233xf) is separated from a mixture containing other fluorinated organics and high boiling materials such as dimers using azeotropes of HF formed by adding appropriate amounts to the mixture which facilitate separation by, e.g. distillation.

PREPARATION OF 2,3,3,3-TETRAFLUOROPROPENE AND INTERMEDIATES THEREOF
The present invention provides a process for preparation of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and intermediates thereof. Owing to its low global warming potential and zero ozone depleting potential, it is been proposed as a replacement for existing chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons as refrigerant.
