Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) is produced by the reaction of chloroform (CHCl3) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) in the presence of antimony pentachloride (SbCl 5 ) catalyst. Trifluoromethane is the major by-product and ius either destroyed or used as a feedstock of refrigerant. The EU reports its emissions of HFC-23, as part of its Annual greenhouse gas inventory submission to the unfccc . From this,
in 2017 the EU reported over 98% reduction in emissions compared to 1990, due to the adoption of abatement technology..
Data for HCFCs is from EEA Report 12/2019 Ozone Depelting Substances 2019. Total 2018 production of HCFCs in the EU was 129594 tonnes and imports of 4968 tonnes. EEA does not break down the data further but for production HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane) and HCFC 142b (1-chloro-1,1 - difluoro-ethane)
are thought to account for the vast majority of the total, with HCFC-22 being the major substance. Both are used as feedstocks.
1-chloro-1,1 - difluoro-ethane is produced
from 1,1,1,-trichloroethane by reaction with HF in the liquid phase. 1,1-dichloro-1fluoroethane is an intermediate.
