Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing olefin fluorine compounds. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for producing a (hydro)fluoroolefin compound, including: (i) in an agitated reactor provided with at least one reactant inlet and at least one outlet, contacting, with potassium hydroxide in an aqueous reaction medium, at least one compound containing three to six carbon atoms, at least two fluorine atoms, and at least one hydrogen atom, with the proviso that at least one hydrogen atom and one fluorine atom are located on adjacent carbon atoms, so as produce the (hydro)fluoroolefin compound, separated in a gaseous state from the reaction medium and from potassium fluoride; (ii) in an aqueous medium, contacting the potassium fluoride formed in step (i) with calcium hydroxide in a second reactor so as to produce potassium hydroxide and to precipitate calcium fluoride; (iii) separating the calcium fluoride precipitated in step (ii) from the reaction medium; and (iv) optionally recirculating the reaction medium after optionally recirculating the reaction medium after optionally adjusting the concentration of potassium hydroxide in step (i), characterized in that po…
