Abstract
According to a process for producing difluoromethane and difluorochloromethane, which comprises fluorinating dichloromethane and trichloromethane with hydrogen fluoride in a liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst in one reaction apparatus under the conditions that a reaction pressure is from 1 to 20 kg/cm2 and a reaction temperature is from 50 to 150° C., difluoromethane and difluorochloroethane can be simultaneously or alternatively produced in an economical/safe manner by one reaction apparatus.
