Antimony pentachloride hydrolyses to give hydrochloric acid and antimony oxychlorides. Therefore, the distillation is carried out at a temperature lower than 140.degree. The materials entrained in and discharged with the nitrogen gas had a composition as shown in Table 3.2. Also, it is necessary that at least some of pentavalent antimony be present during the first step. The purity and the yield of antimony were found to be comparable to those in the Example 1. Antimony pentachloride can be usually readily isolated by distillation if not contained in a complicated mixture. 2. Antimony - Antimony - Properties and reactions: The most stable form of elemental antimony is a brittle, silvery solid of high metallic lustre. 1. Antimony pentachloride-catalyzed decomposition of C-phenylisobutyryl peroxide. Relevance. With a content of bound fluorine smaller than the above defined range, the sublimate substances with high sublimation points and high melting point substances can not be satisfactorily converted to low boiling point substances, or it takes along period of conversion time because of lower conversion rate. at the same temperature under atmospheric pressure so as to substitute fluorine for the chlorine of the antimony halides, while recovering substances such as HCl, lower boiling point chlorofluorohydrocarbons and the like as overhead from the reaction vessel. C. The reaction pressure is generally in the range of 0.5 to 3 atms. J. inorg, nuO. (1 atm., 25° C). Preferably, these chlorinated hydrocarbons and fluorochlorohydrocarbons are distilled off, prior to the first step of the process of the invention, by heating the spent antimony catalyst mixture under atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 80° to 140° C. The antimony catalyst mixture remaining after the first step is mixed with a chlorinating agent to convert the antimony fluorides into antimony chlorides, and with elemental chlorine to convert trivalent antimony to pentavalent antimony. The first step plays an important role of the process of the present invention. In the fluorination process, the liquid antimony catalyst is charged into a reaction vessel wherein it acts on chlorinated hydrocarbons and hydrogen fluoride introduced therein to promote the fluorination of the chlorinated hydrocarbons. Example 1 was further repeated in the same manner and conditions as described, but the oxidation by the reaction with chlorine was conducted prior to the chlorination with carbon tetrachloride. In this regard, since antimony pentachloride tends to be slightly decomposed into antimony trichloride and chlorine during the treatment with the chlorinating agent, it is preferred to add chlorine after or simultaneous with the addition of the chlorinating agent. C, preferably 80.degree. The antimony pentafluoride is separated from the volatile byproducts by fractional distillation. . Antimony pentachloride was recovered from the thus obtained mixture. The temperature of the chlorination reaction of antimony fluoride with the chlorination agent is generally in the range of 40.degree. The catalyst, gaseous antimony pentachloride, was added to the cumene hydroperoxide in the amount of 0.01 ml. 9.83 kg of a used antimony catalyst mixture consisting of 6.02 kg (21.1 moles) antimony halides (weight ratio of Sb (III)/total Sb = 0.22, atomic ratio of F/total Sb = 0.10), 3.53 kg of halogenated hydrocarbons (CCl.sub.4, CCl.sub.3 F, C.sub.2 Cl.sub.6, C.sub.2 Cl.sub.5 F, etc.) The spent catalyst mixture may further contain chlorinated hydrocarbons used as starting material for the fluorination reaction and fluorochlorohydrocarbons produced by that reaction. 100.degree. However, these values should not be construed as limiting in the process of the invention but may vary depending on the ability and operating time of the apparatus employed in subsequent steps, and economy. C. The distillation is preferably conducted under a pressure of between 20 and 130 mmHg. On the other hand, 1 mol of trichlorofluoromethane serves to substitute about 1 gram atom of fluorine of antimony fluoride with chlorine. The recovery percentage of antimony was 85.2% and purity about 100%. C and collecting in a water-cooled trap and an acetone-dry ice-cooled trap in series. The antimony pentachloride thus recovered may readily be used as a catalyst for fluorination of a chlorinated hydrocarbon by reaction with hydrogen fluoride. The first step plays an important role of the process of the present invention. C. Then, the mixture was subjected to single-stage distillation at 130.degree. Temperatures above 140.degree. Accordingly, it is very difficult to recover useful substances, particularly antimony pentachloride, from the used antimony catalyst for reuse as catalyst. It is generally 0.5 - 8 atms./abs., and for practicality may be in the vicinity of atmospheric pressure. Keep people away. 969 to 973. The discharged gas was collected by an acetone-dry ice trap. Then, recovery of antimony pentachloride contained in the mixture is effected by distillation under a reduced pressure. In the first step of the process of the invention, the spent antimony catalyst mixture is treated by bubbling through or feeding into the catalyst mixture an inactive gas at an elevated temperature. Molecular Weight 299.03 . During the oxidation reaction, agitation may be conducted, if necessary. Such an antimony catalyst is generally in the form of liquid and contains partly-fluorinated antimony and trivalent antimony. Antimony pentachloride was recovered from the thus obtained mixture. and 140.degree. Nitrogen gas was bubbled through the spent antimony catalyst composition at 120.degree. Antimony pentachloride was successively distilled off at 90.degree. 18. The first step of the process of the present invention may be conducted under any suitable pressure. The spent antimony catalyst mixture comprises pentavalent antimony halides as its primal components but antimony is also present in the form of trivalent compounds. at the same temperature under atmospheric pressure so as to substitute fluorine for the chlorine of the antimony halides, while recovering substances such as HCl, lower boiling point chlorofluorohydrocarbons and the like as overhead from the reaction vessel. From 11.5 kg of a spent antimony catalyst mixture, as shown in Table 2.1, obtained by heating in a 10 l vessel made of Hastelloy C (product of Haynes Stellite Co.) under normal pressure at 130° C to remove substances with low boiling points, antimony pentachloride was recovered. The chlorinating agent and chlorine can also be added simultaneously. Then, trichlorotrifluoroethane was bubbled through the spent antimony catalyst mixture with the above composition, first at 120° C under atmospheric pressure for 8 hours at a rate of 200 g/hr. An analysis thereof revealed weight ratio of Sb(III)/total Sb to be 0.051, atomic ratio of F/total Sb to be 0.002 and trace amount of organic compounds. The process according to claim 1, wherein said inactive gas is fed at a rate from about 2 l/hr., at reaction temperature and pressure, per 1 kg of the spent catalyst mixture. During the oxidation reaction, agitation may be conducted, if necessary. Temperatures above 140° C may induce a decomposition of antimony pentachloride into antimony trichloride, causing a loss of chlorine. The discharged antimony halides can be trapped by suitable means and, after removal of certain organic compounds contained therein, can be again introduced into the system or readily used as catalyst. This lowers the catalytic activity and renewal of catalyst becomes necessary when its activity has become too low. The amount of the antimony pentachloride collected in the water-cooled trap was 5.41 kg (18.2 moles). 436 g of a spent antimony catalyst mixture having the composition as shown in Table 3.1 was obtained by heating a used antimony catalyst in a 500 ml stainless steel vessel under atmospheric pressure at 120° C to expel part of substances with low boiling points. Chem., 1967, Vol. generation, Process for the recovery of antimony pentachloride from used catalyst solutions, PROCESS FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANTIMONY PENTACHLORIDE FROM CATALYST SOLUTIONS, <- Previous Patent (Method for loading r...). 235). These make it possible to conduct the process of the present invention with simple apparatus. 73° C), SbCl4 F (m.p. FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY" Keep dry. With the pentavalent antimony content less than 40%, trivalent antimony may be precipitated in the neighbourhood of 80.degree. C to remove low boiling point substances at atmospheric pressure, thereby obtaining 5.58 kg of a spent antimony catalyst mixture, the composition of which is shown in Table 1.1. EC Number 231-601-8. Antimony pentachloride or Antimony(V) chloride or Antimony perchloride Manufacturers, with SDS GHS MSDS Sheet: Muby Chemicals of Mubychem Group, established in 1976, is the original manufacturers of Specialty Chemicals, Pharmaceutical Excipient, Fragrance Food & Flavor chemicals, Reagent Grade Chemicals, Shale Gas Fracturing Chemicals in India. In this case, though the amount of fluorine in the reaction system is not critically limited, an unnecessary excess is unfavorable since the process of the present invention involves substitution with chlorine in a subsequent step. The rates of decomposition of benzoyl peroxide have been studied in solvent alone and in presence of three Lewis acids, viz., boron trifluoride etherate, aluminum chloride and antimony pentachloride at the temperature range of 10–90°C. C) and the like (which also tend to block up distillation apparatus), or small amounts of the starting materials for the fluorination reaction and the reaction products. The first step of the process of the present invention may be conducted under any suitable pressure. Presence of a small amount of trivalent antimony is desirable, since the trivalent antimony serves as a promoter for conversion of undesirable compounds such as hexachloroethane into the lower boiling point compounds. A loss of chlorine gas into molten antimony trichloride, causing a loss of chlorine gas recovered.
