Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An improved process for the manufacture of CF3CHF2 by contacting 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane (CClF2CHClF) or 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane (CHF2CClF2) or mixtures of CF3CHCl2 and CClF2CHClF or mixtures of CF3CHClF and CHF2CClF2 with HF in the presence of a Cr2O3 catalyst prepared by pyrolysis of ammonium dichromate, the reaction being conducted under controlled conditions whereby the production of CF3CHF2 is maximized, and the formation of chloropentafluoroethane (CF3CClF2) and other perhalo derivatives is minimized. The subject hydrogen-containing compound is useful as a blowing agent, propellant, refrigerant, fire extinguishing agent, or sterilant carrier gas.
