Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently, safely and simply adsorb and remove a polymerization inhibitor in tetrafluoroethylene by bringing the tetrafluoroethylene containing the polymerization inhibitor into contact with an allophane which is an amorphous clay mineral of a hydrous silicate of aluminum. SOLUTION: An allophane is brought into contact with tetrafluoroethylene containing a polymerization inhibitor (preferably a terpene compound such as limonene) preferably under cooling. A packed column method is preferred as a method for bringing the allophane into contact with the tetrafluoroethylene containing the polymerization inhibitor. In this case, a granule or a pellet having 0.3-10 mm average grain diameter is preferred as the allophane. Conditions in the case of the adopted packed column method may be determined according to the concentration of the contained polymerization inhibitor. For example, the concentration of the polymerization inhibitor is about 500 ppm, the polymerization inhibitor can be removed from the tetrafluoroethylene containing the polymerization inhibitor in an amount of 10,000 to 100,000 times based on the volume of a packed bed expressed in terms of volume ratio to <=0.1 ppm by bringing the allophane into contact with the tetrafloroethylene containing the polymerization inhibitor at 1-20 min<-1> space velocity.

Industrially, a method of thermally decomposing chlorodifluoromethane at a temperature of 600 ° C. or higher is generally used. Since the pyrolyzate generated by the above-mentioned pyrolysis contains various kinds of fluorinated hydrocarbons in addition to chlorodifluoromethane as a raw material and tetrafluoroethylene as a target, distillation from the pyrolyzate is performed.

In general, high-purity tetrafluoroethylene is extremely easy to polymerize, particularly when it contains a trace amount of oxygen, and is known to sometimes polymerize explosively. For this reason, conventionally, when storing tetrafluoroethylene, a polymerization inhibitor represented by a terpinoid such as pinene, limonene, camphene, cymene, terpinene or the like is added in an amount of about 100 to 10,000 ppm (US Pat.

[0007] In general, for removing organic substances in a gas,
Although a method of contacting with an adsorbent such as zeolite is employed, in the case of the above-mentioned tetrafluoroethylene, when it is brought into contact with zeolite, not only the polymerization inhibitor but also tetrafluoroethylene is adsorbed, and the heat of adsorption causes the tetrafluoroethylene to be adsorbed. Of the polymerization starts, it becomes difficult to continue the adsorption due to the generated heat of polymerization, and further, the generated polymer is decomposed and carbonized by the generated heat of polymerization, and the adsorption efficiency of zeolite is reduced. There was a problem.

As a result of repeated investigations on various adsorbents, unlike zeolites having selective adsorptivity by utilizing uniform pores having a diameter of several angstroms, the pore diameter is controlled like zeolite. Allophane, which is widely used exclusively as an adsorbent for polar substances such as acids, utilizing its property of having large pores of several tens of angstroms, has a low polarity substance such as the aforementioned terpene compound. A completely unexpected finding was obtained that it could be selectively and adsorbed and removed in large quantities, and furthermore, hardly generated heat.

As a result, the molecular sieve pellets were locally formed into a black mass. This black lump was dissolved with hydrofluoric acid, and a small amount of the remaining residue was analyzed. As a result, it was found to be a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It is presumed that the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene proceeded due to the rapidly rising heat of adsorption, and the decomposition and carbonization of polytetrafluoroethylene proceeded due to the heat storage.

Reference Example A polymerization experiment was performed using the purified tetrafluoroethylene of the present invention and tetrafluoroethylene containing no polymerization inhibitor. In a stainless steel pressure vessel equipped with a 250 ml stirrer, 110 ml of perfluoroheptane, C
F 2 = CFOCF 2 CF 2 CF 3 , 5 g was added. Next, in order to deoxygenate the inside of the pressure vessel, the operation of cooling and solidifying the contents and then degassing was repeated three times. Thereafter, 0.4 g of (CF 3 CF 2 CF 2 CO 2 ) 2 was added as a polymerization initiator, and tetrafluoroethylene was further added at 3 kg / cm 2
G was injected under pressure and polymerization was carried out at 18 ° C. for 4 hours.
