Abstract

A method for reducing the content of unsaturated impurities contained in 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R245fa), while maintaining the loss of R245fa at a minimum level. R245fa containing unsaturated impurities is contacted in a gas phase with chlorine gas in the presence of an activated carbon catalyst, thereby converting the unsaturated impurities to the chlorine addition compounds to reduce the content of the unsaturated impurities.
