Abstract: The effects of Cr 3+ content in CrF3/AlF3 catalysts on activity for synthesis of HF 134a from reaction of HCFC133a with HFwere investigated. FTIR, EPRand XPShave been employed to characterize the CrF3/AlF3 catalysts. The results show that CrF3 existed in a monolayer dispersion where the interaction between CrF3 and AlF3 support became stronger when Cr 3+ content less than1%. The CrF3/AlF3 catalyst with 0.1% Cr 3+ exhibits the highest turnover frequency. The residual oxygen in the catalyst forms surface active species of CrAlOm Fn from the interaction of CrF3 and AlF3, which is the cause of high selectivity to HFC-134a in F/Cl exchange reaction.
