Claims
- 1. A process for purifying a mixture of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-fluoroethane and a 1,1-difluoro-2-chloro-ethylene impurity, said process comprising reacting, at temperatures ranging from 200.degree. to 450.degree. C., said mixture with hydrofluoric acid in the presence of a chrome oxide catalyst in the non-carried form, wherein:
- said chrome oxide catalyst being of a substantially crystalline structure such that at least 60% by weight of said chrome oxide catalyst is of a non-amorphous crystalline structure, and
- said chrome oxide catalyst having been prepared at a calcination temperature higher than 420.degree. C. and UD to about 900.degree. C.
- 2. The process of claim 1, in which the reaction temperature ranges from 250.degree. to 380.degree. C.
- 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the mixture comprising 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-fluoroethane and 1,1-difluoro-2-chloroethylene comes from the preparation of 1,1,1-tri-fluoro-2-floroethane via fluorination of trichloroethylene and/or of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloroethane.
