Abstract

The invention relates to binary azeotropic compositions between water and 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1-difluoroethane or trifluoroethylene, to a process for the removal of water from solutions by azeotropic distillation using these compositions, as well as to a process for the production of a hydrofluoroalkane in which water is removed from the mixture of reaction products by azeotropic distillation using these compositions.
