Embodiments of a fluidized bed fluorination reactor are provided, as are embodiments of a fluidized bed reactor and embodiments of a fluorination method carried-out utilizing a fluidized bed fluorination reactor.

The tetrafluoroethane and the chlorotetrafluoroethane can both be separated from the product stream in a single distillation column and recycled together to the fluorination reactor.

In the second liquid phase fluorination reactor 1233zd (E) is contacted with HF in the presence of catalyst to produce 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (245fa) with high conversion and selectivity.
