In view of the above, although the patent application of honeywell corporation is for the production of tetrafluoropropene of HFO-1234ze type and the patent application of arkema france corporation for the production of tetrafluoropropene of HFO-1234yf type, the impurities, regardless of the type, contain about 1000ppm of isomers, have very close boiling points and relative volatilities close to 1, and are difficult to separate. The only prior art in which the only isomer control that can be retrieved is the Ke Munich Co., Ltd patent application CN201810366697.2, which is converted to HFO-1234ze by HFO-1234 yf. Because HFO-1234ze is thermodynamically stable and is more prone to form HFO-1234ze, it is very difficult to reverse convert it to HFO-1234 yf.

The chemical structures of HFO-1234ze and HFO-1234yf are shown below:
in addition, to meet the requirements of semiconductor manufacturing, HFO-1234yf needs to reach high purity electronic grade, and besides difficult isomers, by-product impurities in synthesis, light component impurities: n is a radical of 2 、O 2 、Ar、HF、CO 2 、CF 4 、C 2 F 6 Heavy component impurities: CF (compact flash) 3 C≡CH、CF 3 -CF=CFH、CF 3 -CH=CF 2 、CF 3 -CF=CF 2 、CF 3 CF 2 CF 3 、CF 3 CFHCF 2 H、CF 3 CF 2 CF 2 H、CF 3 CFHCF 3 . Wherein the substance which is difficult to remove is an azeotrope CF 3 C≡CH。
In summary, the following technical problems are mainly existed in the separation and purification of HFO-1234 yf: the relative volatility of the isomer HFO-1234ze of HFO-1234yf is close to 1, and the separation is very difficult; the CF which is difficult to remove in impurities needs to be particularly considered 3 C is equal to CH azeotrope; the double bond of tetrafluoropropene is very reactive and will be rapidly converted to HFO-1234ze upon contact with an acidic, basic-centered adsorbent material.

The tetrafluoropropene HFO-1234yf obtained in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 and 2 were subjected to the test of impurity content and purity, and the test results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2 impurity content and purity (in ppm) of each of the examples and comparative examples
As can be seen from Table 2, the purity of HFO-1234yf of examples 1-6 reaches above 99.998%, and the purity of HFO-1234yf of example 5 reaches as high as 99.999%, which indicates that the purity of HFO-1234yf can be obviously improved by the purification method of the present invention. The embodiment 5 has the best effect, and the mass transfer resistance is effectively reduced mainly because the proportion of the diluent and the extracting agent is better, and the prepared viscosity is more appropriate. In addition, the absorption efficiency is improved and the separation effect is achieved by more proper gas phase airspeed, reaction temperature, stirring speed and stirring pressure.
Comparative example 1 eliminated the HF water wash step and comparative example 2 replaced the extractant acetone with toluene. The separation effect is not ideal. This is because the effective absorption liquid of choice in the present invention is acetone and the remaining extractant (e.g., toluene) is not effective in removing impurities. Meanwhile, trace amounts of impurity HF contained in HFO-1234yf are easily partially complexed with acetone, rendering acetone decomposition ineffective, and therefore it is necessary to remove HF before proceeding to step S2.
In addition, the invention innovatively selects the absorption liquid compounded by acetone and aliphatic hydrocarbon, and integrally improves the separation purity of HFO-1234yf by controlling parameters such as gas phase airspeed, reaction temperature, stirring speed, pressure and the like. The separation and purification method has strong operability and low cost, and the obtained HFO-1234yf reaches a high-grade electronic grade and can completely meet the requirements of semiconductor manufacturing.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
