Description

本発明は、2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロプロペンとヘキサフルオロプロペンからなる共沸または共沸様組成物、および、2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロプロペンとヘキサフルオロプロペンの混合物から2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロプロペンまたはヘキサフルオロプロペンを製造する方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition comprising 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and hexafluoropropene, and a mixture of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene and hexafluoropropene. The present invention relates to a method for producing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene or hexafluoropropene.

2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロプロペン(HFO−1234yf)は、温室効果ガスである1,1,1,2−テトラフルオロエタン(HFC−134a)に代わる新しい冷媒として、近年大きな期待が寄せられている。なお、本明細書において、ハロゲン化炭化水素については化合物名の後の括弧内にその化合物の略称を記すが、本明細書では必要に応じて化合物名に代えてその略称を用いる。   In recent years, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf) has been highly expected as a new refrigerant to replace 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), which is a greenhouse gas. It has been. In the present specification, for halogenated hydrocarbons, the abbreviations of the compounds are described in parentheses after the compound names. In the present specification, the abbreviations are used instead of the compound names as necessary.

HFO−1234yfの製造方法としては、例えば、1,1−ジクロロ−2,2,3,3,3−ペンタフルオロプロパン(HCFC−225ca)を相間移動触媒の存在下にアルカリ水溶液で脱フッ化水素させて得られる1,1−ジクロロ−2,3,3,3−テトラフルオロプロペン(CFO−1214ya)を原料とし、水素により還元して製造する方法が知られている。   As a method for producing HFO-1234yf, for example, 1,1-dichloro-2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HCFC-225ca) is dehydrofluorinated with an alkaline aqueous solution in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. A method is known in which 1,1-dichloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (CFO-1214ya) obtained by reduction is used as a raw material and is reduced by hydrogen.

しかし、上記の方法では、反応工程数が多く、中間生成物や最終生成物の蒸留精製が必要である。一方、クロロフルオロカーボン類を含む原料から熱分解を伴う1回の反応でHFO−1234yfを製造する方法が提案されている。このような方法として、例えば、特許文献1には、クロロメタン(R40)とクロロジフルオロメタン(R22)および/またはテトラフルオロエチレン(TFE)との混合物を加熱分解して、HFO−1234yfを得る方法が提示されている。R40とR22および/またはTFEとの混合物は、熱分解および脱塩化水素反応によりジフルオロカルベン(FC:)とR40とを含む反応混合物を生成し、これらの反応混合物は、直接付加反応して、あるいは1種または2種以上の中間体を経て、テトラフルオロプロペン、特にHFO−1234yfへと転化されると考えられる。 However, in the above method, the number of reaction steps is large, and distillation purification of intermediate products and final products is necessary. On the other hand, a method for producing HFO-1234yf from a raw material containing chlorofluorocarbons by a single reaction involving thermal decomposition has been proposed. As such a method, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of obtaining HFO-1234yf by thermally decomposing a mixture of chloromethane (R40) and chlorodifluoromethane (R22) and / or tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). Is presented. The mixture of R40 and R22 and / or TFE produces a reaction mixture containing difluorocarbene (F 2 C :) and R40 by thermal decomposition and dehydrochlorination reaction, and these reaction mixtures are subjected to direct addition reaction. Or, via one or more intermediates, is believed to be converted to tetrafluoropropene, particularly HFO-1234yf.

米国特許第2931840号明細書U.S. Pat. No. 2,931,840

本発明者らの検討によると、上記方法によりHFO−1234yfを製造する場合、得られる反応混合物中には、目的物質のHFO−1234yfや未反応原料以外に、TFE、1,1−ジフルオロエチレン(VdF)、クロロトリフルオロエチレン(CTFE)、ヘキサフルオロプロペン(HFP)、オクタフルオロシクロブタン(RC318)等の多種の副生物が含まれ、その生成量は製造条件により様々であることがわかった。また、これら副生物のうちでもR22のように熱分解してFC:を発生しうる含フッ素化合物であるTFE、HFP、CTFE、RC318等は、上記熱分解を伴う合成反応へのリサイクル使用がHFO−1234yfの生産効率を上げる点で有効であると考えられる。さらに、反応混合物から、目的物質のHFO−1234yfとは別にTFE、VdF、HFP、CTFE等を単離すれば、これらは各種フッ素樹脂原料として有効利用できる。
ここで、目的物質のHFO−1234yfや上記各種有用成分を上記反応混合物中から取り出す方法として、蒸留が挙げられるが、副生物のうちでもHFPは、HFO−1234yfと沸点が近いことが知られており、両者の分離は容易でないと想定された。
According to the study by the present inventors, when HFO-1234yf is produced by the above-mentioned method, in the obtained reaction mixture, in addition to the target substance HFO-1234yf and unreacted raw materials, TFE, 1,1-difluoroethylene ( Various by-products such as VdF), chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE), hexafluoropropene (HFP), and octafluorocyclobutane (RC318) were included, and it was found that the amount produced varies depending on the production conditions. Among these by-products, TFE, HFP, CTFE, RC318, etc., which are fluorine-containing compounds that can be thermally decomposed to generate F 2 C: like R22, are recycled for use in the synthesis reaction involving the above thermal decomposition. Is considered effective in increasing the production efficiency of HFO-1234yf. Furthermore, if TFE, VdF, HFP, CTFE, etc. are isolated from the reaction mixture separately from the target substance HFO-1234yf, these can be effectively used as various fluororesin raw materials.
Here, as a method of taking out the target substance HFO-1234yf and the various useful components from the reaction mixture, distillation can be mentioned. Among the by-products, HFP is known to have a boiling point close to that of HFO-1234yf. Therefore, it was assumed that separation of the two was not easy.

It aims to provide a way to do.

The first fraction lower than the ratio and the content ratio of HFO-1234yf in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP is higher than the content ratio of HFO-1234yf in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture. The conditions are not particularly limited as long as they can be separated into two fractions. The distillation column used may be a hollow distillation column or a multistage distillation column. Distillation may be performed batchwise or continuously. The distillation pressure condition is preferably atmospheric pressure to 5 MPa. As temperature conditions, -30-70 degreeC is preferable as tower top temperature.

第1の実施形態の製造方法における蒸留を、多段式の蒸留塔を用いて行う場合、通常、上記初期混合物は蒸留塔の中段から供給され、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFO−1234yfの含有割合が、上記記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFO−1234yfの含有割合より低い第1留分が蒸留塔の塔頂からの留出液として得られる。また、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFO−1234yfの含有割合が、上記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFO−1234yfの含有割合より高い第2留分が塔底からの缶出液として得られる。   When the distillation in the production method of the first embodiment is performed using a multistage distillation column, the initial mixture is usually supplied from the middle column of the distillation column, and HFO-1234yf in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP.

このようにして本発明の第1の実施形態の製造方法により得られる、高純度のHFO−1234yfは、冷媒としての使用が期待できる。
In this case, the content ratio of HFO-1234yf in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP obtained as a bottoms from the bottom of the column is such that the content of HFO-1234yf in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture is The second fraction having a higher content ratio can be made into high-purity HFO-1234yf having a lower HFP concentration by further repeating distillation as necessary.

Including a step of obtaining HFP having a reduced concentration of −1234yf.

第2の実施形態における蒸留の条件としては、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合が、上記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合より低い第1留分と、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合が、上記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合より高い第2留分に分離できる条件であれば特に制限されない。用いる蒸留塔としては、中空の蒸留塔でもよく、多段式の蒸留塔であってもよい。蒸留はバッチ式で行われても、連続式で行われてもよい。蒸留の圧力条件は、大気圧〜5MPaとすることが好ましい。温度条件としては、塔頂温度として−30〜70℃が好ましい。   As distillation conditions in the second embodiment, the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP is lower than the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture. The HFP-1234yf and HFP content ratio in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP can be separated into a second fraction that is higher than the HFP content ratio in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture. There is no particular limitation. The distillation column used may be a hollow distillation column or a multistage distillation column. Distillation may be performed batchwise or continuously. The distillation pressure condition is preferably atmospheric pressure to 5 MPa. As temperature conditions, -30-70 degreeC is preferable as tower top temperature.

A first fraction whose ratio is lower than the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture is obtained as a distillate from the top of the distillation column. In addition, the second fraction in which the HFP content ratio in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP is higher than the HFP content ratio in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture is the bottom liquid from the tower bottom. As obtained.

これは、上記の通り、圧力1.011×10PaにおけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの共沸様組成物の沸点が41〜42℃であり、またHFPの沸点は44℃であることによる。塔頂から留出液として得られる、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合が、上記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合より低い第1留分は、通常、HFO−1234yfとHFPの共沸様組成物を含む混合組成物として得られる。このような第1留分に対して、必要に応じてさらに蒸留を繰り返し行うことで、最終的にHFO−1234yfとHFPの共沸組成物を得ることも可能である。 This is because the boiling point of the azeotrope-like composition of HFO-1234yf and HFP at a pressure of 1.011 × 10 6 Pa is 41 to 42 ° C. and the boiling point of HFP is 44 ° C. as described above.

It is also possible to finally obtain an azeotropic composition of HFO-1234yf and HFP by repeatedly performing distillation on the first fraction as necessary.

また、この場合、塔底から缶出液として得られるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合が、上記初期混合物におけるHFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合より高い第2留分は、必要に応じてさらに蒸留を繰り返すことで、よりHFO−1234yf濃度が低い高純度のHFPとすることができる。
このようにして本発明の第2の実施形態の製造方法により得られる、高純度のHFPは、例えば、上記R40と、R22等の熱分解してFC:を発生しうる含フッ素化合物との、熱分解を伴うHFO−1234yfの合成反応における、原料成分(熱分解してFC:を発生しうる含フッ素化合物)として使用できる。高純度のHFPは、さらに、FEP(TFE−HFP共重合体)、VdF−HFP共重合体等のフッ素樹脂原料としても有用である。
In this case, the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP obtained as bottoms from the tower bottom is higher than the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP in the initial mixture. The second fraction can be made into high-purity HFP having a lower HFO-1234yf concentration by further repeating distillation as necessary.

The composition of each of the extracted distillate and bottoms is analyzed by gas chromatography. The analysis results of the composition of the distillate and bottoms are shown in Table 2 in mol%.

表2に示すように、初期混合物として、HFO−1234yfとHFPの合計量中のHFPの含有割合がモル比で74.1%を超える混合物を用いて蒸留を行えば、塔頂からは、該混合物よりHFO−1234yf濃度が高くHFP濃度が低い、HFO−1234yfとHFPの共沸様組成物が得られ、塔底からはHFO−1234yf濃度が低く、純度の高いHFPが得られることがわかる。   As shown in Table 2, if distillation is performed using a mixture in which the content ratio of HFP in the total amount of HFO-1234yf and HFP exceeds 74.1% as an initial mixture, It can be seen that an azeotrope-like composition of HFO-1234yf and HFP having a higher HFO-1234yf concentration and a lower HFP concentration than the mixture is obtained, and a high-purity HFP is obtained from the tower bottom with a lower HFO-1234yf concentration.
