近年、冷媒としてオゾン層への影響が少なく、温暖化係数の小さい含フッ素化合物が求められている。このような含フッ素化合物は、例えば、目的物質の分子構造を部分的に含む化合物を原料ガスとして、熱分解を伴う合成反応により製造されている。しかしながら、熱分解を伴う合成反応では、目的物質以外に、目的物質と構造の類似した多種の化合物が副生することも知られている。
In recent years, a fluorine-containing compound having a small influence on the ozone layer and having a small global warming potential has been demanded as a refrigerant. Such a fluorine-containing compound is produced, for example, by a synthetic reaction involving thermal decomposition using a compound partially containing the molecular structure of the target substance as a raw material gas. However, it is also known that, in a synthesis reaction involving thermal decomposition, various compounds similar in structure to the target substance are by-produced in addition to the target substance.
例えば、オゾン層への影響が少なくかつ温暖化係数の小さい2,3,3,3-テトラフルオロプロペン(HFO-1234yf)は、クロロジフルオロメタン(R22)とクロロメタン(R40)を原料として熱分解を伴う合成反応で製造することが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。ここで、通常、得られる反応生成物からの副生物の除去は蒸留により沸点差を利用して行われるが、ヘキサフルオロプロペン(HFP)等のHFO-1234yfと沸点の近い化合物は、一般的な蒸留での除去は困難であり、これらを効率よく除去する方法が求められていた。
For example, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234yf), which has little impact on the ozone layer and has a low warming potential, is thermally decomposed using chlorodifluoromethane (R22) and chloromethane (R40) as raw materials. It is known that it is produced by a synthesis reaction involving the above (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Here, removal of by-products from the reaction product obtained is usually carried out by distillation using a difference in boiling point. However, a compound having a boiling point close to that of HFO-1234yf such as hexafluoropropene (HFP) is generally used. Removal by distillation is difficult, and a method for efficiently removing these has been demanded.
一方、HFPおよびR22は、所定のモル比で共沸組成物を形成することが知られている。また、複数の化合物を含む組成物を、当該組成物中の特定の2種の化合物が共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を形成するように蒸留し、当該2種の化合物を分離する共沸蒸留が一般的に行われている。共沸蒸留では、共沸組成物が、他の化合物よりも低い沸点をもつことを利用して共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を分離する。(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
On the other hand, HFP and R22 are known to form an azeotropic composition at a predetermined molar ratio. In addition, a composition containing a plurality of compounds is distilled such that two specific compounds in the composition form an azeotropic composition or an azeotrope-like composition, and the two compounds are separated. Boiling distillation is generally performed. In azeotropic distillation, an azeotropic composition or an azeotrope-like composition is separated by taking advantage of the fact that the azeotropic composition has a lower boiling point than other compounds. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).
ここで、HFPおよびR22はこれらの2成分系で共沸することが知られているものの、例えば、これを利用して上記HFO-1234yfの熱分解合成反応で得られた反応生成物からHFPを反応生成物中の他の化合物との共沸組成物または共沸様組成物として分離しようとしても、HFPと沸点が近い含フッ素化合物を複数種含む多成分系では、各化合物が共沸組成物を形成する場合の各化合物間の相互作用について何ら知られておらず、HFPを分離できるかどうかは明らかではなかった。さらに、このような多成分系では、2種の化合物のみならず3種以上の化合物が共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を形成することもあるため、共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を形成する可能性のある化合物の組合せやその態様は限りなく多く、これら全てについて詳細に分析するのは非常に困難であった。
Here, although HFP and R22 are known to azeotrope in these two component systems, for example, HFP can be obtained from the reaction product obtained by the thermal decomposition synthesis reaction of HFO-1234yf using this. In a multi-component system including a plurality of fluorine-containing compounds having a boiling point close to that of HFP, each compound is an azeotropic composition even if it is intended to be separated as an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition with other compounds in the reaction product. It is not known whether HFP can be separated, because no interaction is known about the interaction between each compound in the formation of. Further, in such a multi-component system, not only two compounds but also three or more compounds may form an azeotropic composition or an azeotrope-like composition. There are an unlimited number of combinations and forms of compounds that can form products, and it has been very difficult to analyze all of them in detail.

本発明の分離方法によれば、HFPと当該HFPと沸点が近い含フッ素化合物を効率よく分離することができる。
According to the separation method of the present invention, HFP and a fluorine-containing compound having a boiling point close to that of HFP can be efficiently separated.
以下、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。本発明は以下の実施形態に限定されるものではない。なお、本明細書において、特に断りのない限り、化合物の沸点は常圧(1.013×105Pa)での値である。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In the present specification, unless otherwise specified, the boiling point of the compound is a value at normal pressure (1.013 × 10 5 Pa).
本発明の分離方法は、HFP(沸点-29℃)と当該HFPの沸点の-10℃から+15℃の沸点を有する含フッ素化合物、すなわち、沸点が-39~-14℃の含フッ素化合物(以下、含フッ素化合物(A)ともいう。)とを分離する方法であって、HFP、上記含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22(沸点-41℃)を含む蒸留用組成物を準備し、当該蒸留用組成物を、前記HFPおよび前記R22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を含む留分が形成される蒸留に供することで、HFPと含フッ素化合物(A)を効率よく分離する方法である。
The separation method of the present invention comprises HFP (boiling point −29 ° C.) and a fluorine-containing compound having a boiling point of −10 ° C. to + 15 ° C. of the HFP, that is, a fluorine-containing compound having a boiling point of −39 to −14 ° C. , A fluorine-containing compound (A)), and a distillation composition containing HFP, the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22 (boiling point -41 ° C.) is prepared. This is a method for efficiently separating HFP and fluorine-containing compound (A) by subjecting the composition to distillation in which a fraction containing the HFP and R22 azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition is formed. .
上述したように、R22、HFPおよびHFPと沸点の近接した含フッ素化合物を含む多成分系では、共沸組成物の形成に際しての各化合物間の相互作用について何ら知られておらず、共沸組成物または共沸様組成物の形成態様の全てについて詳細に分析するのは非常に困難であった。
As described above, in the multi-component system containing R22, HFP, and a fluorine-containing compound having a boiling point close to that of HFP, no interaction is known between the compounds at the time of forming the azeotropic composition. It was very difficult to analyze in detail about all the formation aspects of the product or the azeotrope-like composition.
このようななか、本発明者らは、HFPおよびHFPの沸点の-10℃から+15℃の沸点を有する含フッ素化合物(A)を含む初期混合物にR22を含有させて蒸留用組成物とし、当該蒸留用組成物を蒸留に供することで、他の化合物の組合せよりもHFPおよびR22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を優先的に形成させることを見出した。そして、HFPおよびR22の共沸組成物と含フッ素化合物(A)との沸点差がHFPと含フッ素化合物(A)との沸点差よりも大きくなることを利用して、後述するような特定範囲の組成のHFPおよびR22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を蒸留用組成物から選択的に取り出すことを可能とした。これにより、本発明の分離方法は、蒸留用組成物を、HFPおよびR22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を含む留分(以下、「第1留分」ともいう。)と蒸留用組成物からHFPの分離された留分(以下、「第2留分」ともいう。)とに分離するものである。
Under these circumstances, the inventors of the present invention incorporated R22 into an initial mixture containing HFP and a fluorine-containing compound (A) having a boiling point of −10 ° C. to + 15 ° C. which is the boiling point of HFP to obtain a distillation composition. It has been found that subjecting the composition to distillation preferentially forms an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 over a combination of other compounds. A specific range as will be described later by utilizing that the boiling point difference between the azeotropic composition of HFP and R22 and the fluorine-containing compound (A) is larger than the boiling point difference between HFP and the fluorine-containing compound (A). The HFP and R22 azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition of the following composition could be selectively removed from the distillation composition. Thus, in the separation method of the present invention, the distillation composition is divided into a fraction containing an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 (hereinafter also referred to as “first fraction”) and distillation. The HFP is separated from the composition into fractions from which HFP has been separated (hereinafter also referred to as “second fraction”).
なお、本発明によれば、HFPの沸点の-10℃から+15℃の沸点を有する化合物であれば、含フッ素化合物以外の化合物、例えばR40(-24℃)、N-クロロジメチルアミン(Cl-N-[CH3]2、-39℃)、ブロモアセチレン(Br-C≡C-H、-36℃)、プロパジエン(CH2=C=CH2、-35℃)、塩素(Cl2、-34℃)、ジアゾメタン(CH2-N2、-23℃)、ジメチルシラン(CH3-SiH2-CH3、-22℃)、ジシアン(NC-CN、-21℃)、エチニルメチルエーテル(CH≡C-O-CH3、-17℃)、塩化ビニル(CH2=CHCl、-14℃)、アンモニア(NH3、-33℃)、シクロプロパン(-(CH2-CH2-CH2)-、-33℃)、クロロアセチレン(Cl-C≡C-H、-30℃)、ジメチルエーテル(CH3-O-CH3、-24℃)、ホルムアルデヒド(H-C(O)-H、-19℃)等、であっても、HFPとの分離が可能である。なお、括弧内の温度は各化合物の沸点を示す。以下、HFPおよびR22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物について説明する。
According to the present invention, compounds other than fluorine-containing compounds such as R40 (−24 ° C.), N-chlorodimethylamine (Cl—) can be used as long as they have a boiling point of −10 ° C. to + 15 ° C. N- [CH 3 ] 2 , −39 ° C.), bromoacetylene (Br—C≡C—H, −36 ° C.), propadiene (CH 2 ═C═CH 2 , −35 ° C.), chlorine (Cl 2 , − 34 ° C.), diazomethane (CH 2 —N 2 , −23 ° C.), dimethylsilane (CH 3 —SiH 2 —CH 3 , −22 ° C.), dicyan (NC-CN, −21 ° C.), ethynyl methyl ether (CH ≡C—O—CH 3 , −17 ° C.), vinyl chloride (CH 2 ═CHCl, −14 ° C.), ammonia (NH 3 , −33 ° C.), cyclopropane (— (CH 2 —CH 2 —CH 2 )) -, -33 ° C), chloro Acetylene (Cl—C≡C—H, −30 ° C.), dimethyl ether (CH 3 —O—CH 3 , −24 ° C.), formaldehyde (HC (O) —H, −19 ° C.), etc. Also, separation from HFP is possible. The temperature in parentheses indicates the boiling point of each compound. Hereinafter, the azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 will be described.
共沸組成物は、液相の気化により生成される気相が、気化される液相と同一の組成を有する組成物、または、気相の液化により生成される液相が、液化される気相と同一の組成を有する組成物として定義される。よって、共沸組成物は、蒸発、凝縮を繰り返した場合の組成の変動がなく、組成の変化を伴わずに蒸留および/または還流されうる。共沸組成物の組成は、液相における組成と気相における組成が等しい、すなわち比揮発度が1.00となる組成として求められる。ただし、共沸組成物の組成は圧力により変化しうる。
An azeotropic composition is a composition in which the gas phase generated by vaporization of the liquid phase has the same composition as the liquid phase to be vaporized, or the gas phase generated by liquefaction of the gas phase is liquefied. Defined as a composition having the same composition as the phase. Therefore, the azeotropic composition does not change in composition when repeated evaporation and condensation, and can be distilled and / or refluxed without changing the composition. The composition of the azeotropic composition is determined as a composition in which the composition in the liquid phase and the composition in the gas phase are equal, that is, the relative volatility is 1.00. However, the composition of the azeotropic composition can vary with pressure.
HFPおよびR22の共沸組成物は、常圧(1.013×105Pa)においてR22/HFPで示されるモル比が77/23の組成物、ゲージ圧0.6MPaにおいてR22/HFPで示されるモル比が87/13の組成物である。このHFPおよびR22の共沸組成は、常圧において、下記式(1)で示される比揮発度が1.00となる組成である。また、HFPおよびR22の共沸組成物は、常圧での沸点が-42.3℃、ゲージ圧0.6MPaでの沸点が10.2℃である。
The azeotropic composition of HFP and R22 is a composition having a molar ratio of 77/23 represented by R22 / HFP at normal pressure (1.013 × 10 5 Pa), and represented by R22 / HFP at a gauge pressure of 0.6 MPa. The composition has a molar ratio of 87/13. The azeotropic composition of HFP and R22 is such that the relative volatility represented by the following formula (1) is 1.00 at normal pressure. The azeotropic composition of HFP and R22 has a boiling point of −42.3 ° C. at normal pressure and a boiling point of 10.2 ° C. at a gauge pressure of 0.6 MPa.
(HFPに対するR22の比揮発度の式)
比揮発度=(気相部におけるR22のモル%/気相部におけるHFPのモル%)/(液相部におけるR22のモル%/液相部におけるHFPのモル%) …(1) (R22 relative volatility formula for HFP)
Specific volatility = (mol% of R22 in gas phase part / mol% of HFP in gas phase part) / (mol% of R22 in liquid phase part / mol% of HFP in liquid phase part) (1)
比揮発度=(気相部におけるR22のモル%/気相部におけるHFPのモル%)/(液相部におけるR22のモル%/液相部におけるHFPのモル%) …(1) (R22 relative volatility formula for HFP)
Specific volatility = (mol% of R22 in gas phase part / mol% of HFP in gas phase part) / (mol% of R22 in liquid phase part / mol% of HFP in liquid phase part) (1)
また、一般的に、共沸組成を形成する組成物において、共沸組成に近似する組成の組成物は共沸に近い挙動を示す共沸様組成物とされる。すなわち、共沸様組成物は、蒸発または凝集されたときに分画されない傾向を有し、液相の気化により生成される気相の組成が、気化される液相の組成と、または、気相の液化により生成される液相の組成が、液化される気相の組成と略同一である。したがって、共沸様組成物は組成の変化をほとんど伴わずに蒸留および/または還流されうる。
In general, in a composition forming an azeotropic composition, a composition having a composition close to the azeotropic composition is an azeotrope-like composition exhibiting behavior close to azeotropic. That is, an azeotrope-like composition has a tendency not to fractionate when evaporated or agglomerated, and the composition of the gas phase produced by the vaporization of the liquid phase is different from the composition of the vaporized liquid phase or the gas phase. The composition of the liquid phase produced by liquefaction of the phase is substantially the same as the composition of the gas phase to be liquefied. Thus, an azeotrope-like composition can be distilled and / or refluxed with little compositional change.
HFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の組成範囲としては、具体的には、通常の蒸留条件において、該組成物が組成の変化をほとんど伴わずに蒸留および/または還流される範囲であることが好ましい。組成物が組成の変化をほとんど伴わずに蒸留および/または還流される組成範囲は、例えば、所定の圧力における比揮発度が1.00±αとなる範囲として規定できる。
Specifically, the composition range of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 is a range in which the composition is distilled and / or refluxed with almost no change in composition under normal distillation conditions. preferable. The composition range in which the composition is distilled and / or refluxed with little change in composition can be defined as a range in which the relative volatility at a predetermined pressure is 1.00 ± α, for example.
HFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の組成範囲としては、具体的には、所定の圧力において比揮発度が1.00±0.20となる範囲である。なお、常圧での比揮発度が1.00±0.20の範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の組成範囲は、R22/HFPで示されるモル比としての含有割合が70/30~85/15である。また、常圧において、上記組成範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の沸点は-42.3~-42.2℃である。また0.6MPa(ゲージ圧)での比揮発度が1.00±0.20の範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の組成範囲は、R22/HFPで示されるモル比としての含有割合が75/25~98/2であり、0.6MPa(ゲージ圧)において、上記組成範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物の沸点は10.2~10.6℃である。表1に、既知の熱力学特性・計算熱力学特性を用いたシミュレーションによる圧力と共沸様組成物の組成範囲を示す。なお、共沸様組成物は、共沸組成物とほぼ同等に取り扱える。以下、共沸様組成物は共沸組成物を含むものとして記載する。
Specifically, the composition range of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 is a range in which the relative volatility is 1.00 ± 0.20 at a predetermined pressure. The composition range of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 having a relative volatility in the range of 1.00 ± 0.20 at normal pressure is such that the content ratio as a molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP is 70/30. ~ 85/15. At normal pressure, the boiling point of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 in the above composition range is −42.3 to −42.2 ° C. The composition range of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 having a relative volatility in the range of 1.00 ± 0.20 at 0.6 MPa (gauge pressure) is the content ratio as a molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP. Is 75/25 to 98/2, and the boiling point of the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 in the above composition range is 10.2 to 10.6 ° C. at 0.6 MPa (gauge pressure). Table 1 shows the pressure and the composition range of the azeotrope-like composition by simulation using known thermodynamic characteristics and calculated thermodynamic characteristics. The azeotrope-like composition can be handled almost the same as the azeotrope composition. Hereinafter, an azeotrope-like composition is described as including an azeotrope composition.

Among these, the fluorine-containing compound (A) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of CTFE, HFO-1234yf, HFO-1243zf and HFO-1234ze (Z / E). It is particularly preferable that it contains HFO-1234yf because it has a small coefficient and is useful as a refrigerant.

本発明における蒸留用組成物はHFP、上記した含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22を含む。本発明における蒸留用組成物中のHFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22の含有量は特に限定されない。本発明においては、蒸留用組成物にR22が含まれていれば、HFPと含フッ素化合物(A)を分離することができる。そのため、蒸留用組成物中のR22の含有量は、第2留分の所望の純度に応じて適宜決定すればよい。
The composition for distillation in the present invention contains HFP, the above-mentioned fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22. The contents of HFP, fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22 in the distillation composition in the present invention are not particularly limited. In the present invention, if R22 is contained in the composition for distillation, HFP and the fluorine-containing compound (A) can be separated. Therefore, what is necessary is just to determine suitably content of R22 in the composition for distillation according to the desired purity of a 2nd fraction.
蒸留用組成物の全量に対する含フッ素化合物(A)の量の割合は、10モル%以上であることが好ましく、これにより、含フッ素化合物(A)の収量が向上する。蒸留用組成物に含まれる含フッ素化合物(A)の割合は、さらに好ましくは30モル%以上である。
The ratio of the amount of the fluorine-containing compound (A) to the total amount of the composition for distillation is preferably 10 mol% or more, thereby improving the yield of the fluorine-containing compound (A). The proportion of the fluorine-containing compound (A) contained in the distillation composition is more preferably 30 mol% or more.
蒸留組成物中のR22/HFPで示されるモル比は、所定の蒸留圧力における共沸様組成物のR22/HFPで示されるモル比の下限以上であることが好ましく、共沸組成物のR22/HFPで示されるモル比以上であることがより好ましい。R22/HFPで示されるモル比が当該圧力における共沸様組成物のR22/HFPで示されるモル比の下限以上であれば、特定の組成範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物を効率よく分離し、HFP分離率を極めて大きくすることができる。また、R22/HFPで示されるモル比が共沸組成物のR22/HFPで示されるモル比以上であれば、蒸留用組成物中のHFPを第1留分中により効率よく分離することができる。
The molar ratio indicated by R22 / HFP in the distillation composition is preferably equal to or higher than the lower limit of the molar ratio indicated by R22 / HFP of the azeotrope-like composition at a predetermined distillation pressure. It is more preferable that the molar ratio is not less than that shown by HFP. If the molar ratio indicated by R22 / HFP is not less than the lower limit of the molar ratio indicated by R22 / HFP of the azeotrope-like composition at the pressure, the azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 in a specific composition range can be efficiently produced. The HFP separation rate can be extremely increased. Moreover, if the molar ratio shown by R22 / HFP is more than the molar ratio shown by R22 / HFP of the azeotropic composition, HFP in the composition for distillation can be more efficiently separated in the first fraction. .
そのため、常圧における蒸留組成物中のHFPに対するR22の量は、R22/HFPで示されるモル比で、2.3以上であることが好ましく、3.3以上であることがより好ましい。R22/HFPで示されるモル比が2.3以上であれば、常圧における共沸様組成物のR22/HFPの下限値(70/30≒2.3)よりも大きくなるので、特別な温度や圧力条件を用いずに通常行われる蒸留条件で、特定の組成範囲のHFPおよびR22の共沸様組成物を効率よく分離し、HFP分離率を極めて大きくすることができる。
Therefore, the amount of R22 relative to HFP in the distillation composition at normal pressure is preferably 2.3 or more, more preferably 3.3 or more, in a molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP. If the molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP is 2.3 or more, it becomes larger than the lower limit value of R22 / HFP (70 / 30≈2.3) of the azeotrope-like composition at normal pressure, so a special temperature It is possible to efficiently separate an azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 in a specific composition range under distillation conditions that are usually performed without using pressure conditions, and extremely increase the HFP separation rate.
また、0.6MPa(ゲージ圧)における蒸留組成物中のHFPに対するR22の量は、R22/HFPで示されるモル比で3以上であることが好ましく、5以上であることがより好ましく、6.7以上であることがさらに好ましい。
Further, the amount of R22 to HFP in the distilled composition at 0.6 MPa (gauge pressure) is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 5 or more in terms of a molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP. More preferably, it is 7 or more.
一方、R22/HFPで示されるモル比を大きくすると、第2留分中のR22の量は増加するが、表2に示す通り、R22と含フッ素化合物(A)とは、沸点がさほど近くなく通常の蒸留方法で容易に分離できるため問題とならない。ただし、添加するR22の量が多くなり過ぎないという観点からは、蒸留組成物中のR22/HFPで示されるモル比は100以下であることが好ましく、50以下であることがより好ましい。後述するように初期混合物にR22を添加する場合には、蒸留用組成物自体の量が増加することでリボイラー負荷が大きくなることから、上記上限以下とすることが好ましい。また、蒸留用組成物のR22/HFPで示されるモル比の上限をこのようにすることで、第2留分中のR22と含フッ素化合物(A)を分離するために必要なエネルギーを小さくできるため、工業的に有利である。
On the other hand, when the molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP is increased, the amount of R22 in the second fraction increases, but as shown in Table 2, the boiling point of R22 and the fluorine-containing compound (A) is not so close. There is no problem because it can be easily separated by an ordinary distillation method. However, from the viewpoint that the amount of R22 to be added does not increase excessively, the molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP in the distilled composition is preferably 100 or less, and more preferably 50 or less. As will be described later, when R22 is added to the initial mixture, the reboiler load is increased by increasing the amount of the distillation composition itself, and therefore, it is preferably set to the upper limit or less. Moreover, energy required in order to isolate | separate R22 and a fluorine-containing compound (A) in a 2nd fraction can be made small by making the upper limit of the molar ratio shown by R22 / HFP of a composition for distillation in this way. Therefore, it is industrially advantageous.
本発明における蒸留用組成物は例えば、HFPと含フッ素化合物(A)を含有する初期混合物にR22を所定の量添加することで準備することができる。初期混合物がHFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22を含有する場合には、初期混合物をそのまま蒸留用組成物として用いることができる。
The composition for distillation in the present invention can be prepared, for example, by adding a predetermined amount of R22 to an initial mixture containing HFP and a fluorine-containing compound (A). When the initial mixture contains HFP, the fluorine-containing compound (A), and R22, the initial mixture can be used as it is as a composition for distillation.
初期混合物はHFPと含フッ素化合物(A)のみを含有していてもよく、HFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22を含有していてもよい。初期混合物中にHFPおよび含フッ素化合物(A)が含まれR22が含まれない場合には、R22を添加すればよく、例えば初期混合物中のHFPの含有量を測定し、HFPの含有量に応じてR22を上記した好ましい量添加して蒸留用組成物とすることができる。
The initial mixture may contain only HFP and the fluorine-containing compound (A), or may contain HFP, the fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22. When HFP and the fluorine-containing compound (A) are included in the initial mixture and R22 is not included, R22 may be added. For example, the content of HFP in the initial mixture is measured, and the content of HFP is determined according to the content of HFP. Thus, R22 can be added to the above-mentioned preferable amount to obtain a composition for distillation.
初期混合物がHFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22を含有する場合には、HFPの含有量およびR22の含有量を測定し、初期混合物に含まれるR22と添加するR22の合計量が上記した好ましい量となる量のR22を添加して蒸留用組成物としてもよい。ただし、初期混合物におけるR22/HFPで示されるモル比が上限以上である場合にこれを好ましい範囲に調整する必要はない。なお、本発明の蒸留用組成物は必ずしもHFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22のみで形成されている必要はなく、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲でHFP、含フッ素化合物(A)およびR22以外の化合物を含んでいてもよい。
When the initial mixture contains HFP, the fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22, the HFP content and the R22 content are measured, and the total amount of R22 contained in the initial mixture and R22 to be added is preferable as described above. It is good also as a composition for distillation by adding the quantity of R22 used as quantity. However, when the molar ratio represented by R22 / HFP in the initial mixture is not less than the upper limit, it is not necessary to adjust this to a preferred range. In addition, the composition for distillation of the present invention is not necessarily formed only by HFP, the fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22, and HFP, the fluorine-containing compound (A) and R22 are within a range not impairing the effects of the present invention. Other compounds may be included.

蒸留条件としては、圧力をゲージ圧で0~3MPaとすることが好ましい。温度は設定圧力により、塔頂温度として-42~71℃の範囲で適宜調整することが好ましい。蒸留はバッチ式で行われても、連続式で行われてもよい。蒸留は、蒸留用組成物におけるHFPの量に対する留分(第1留分)中のHFPの量の割合(HFPの分離率)が75%以上となるように行うことが好ましく、80%以上がより好ましく、90%以上がさらに好ましく、95%以上が最も好ましい。また、蒸留用組成物における含フッ素化合物(A)の量に対する留分(第1留分)中の含フッ素化合物(A)の量の割合が25%以下となるように蒸留を行うことが好ましく、20%以下がより好ましく、10%以下がさらに好ましく、5%以下が最も好ましい。これにより、より高純度の含フッ素化合物(A)を得ることができる。
As distillation conditions, the pressure is preferably set to 0 to 3 MPa as a gauge pressure. It is preferable to adjust the temperature appropriately within the range of −42 to 71 ° C. as the tower top temperature depending on the set pressure. Distillation may be performed batchwise or continuously.

More preferably, 90% or more is more preferable, and 95% or more is most preferable. Moreover, it is preferable to perform distillation so that the ratio of the amount of the fluorine-containing compound (A) in the fraction (first fraction) to the amount of the fluorine-containing compound (A) in the distillation composition is 25% or less. 20% or less is more preferable, 10% or less is more preferable, and 5% or less is most preferable.

It is preferable to make it below the boiling point of a compound (A). This is mainly done by adjusting the tower top temperature. At this time, the reboiler load can be reduced by reducing the difference between the tower top temperature and the tower bottom temperature. In addition, the reboiler load can be reduced by setting the pressure so that the boiling point of the azeotrope-like composition is around room temperature, for example, approximately -15 to 50 ° C. Such pressure is preferably 0.2 to 2.0 MPa. What is necessary is just to set these temperature conditions and pressure conditions suitably according to the purity of the fluorine-containing compound (A) calculated | required.

なお、例2~例10における蒸留用組成物のHFO-1234yf/(HFO-1234yf+HFP)×100はいずれも99.010[モル%]である。
Note that the HFO-1234yf / (HFO-1234yf + HFP) × 100 of the distillation composition in Examples 2 to 10 is 99.010 [mol%].
例2~例10では、HFO-1234yfとHFPとが高精度で分離される。その結果、留出液としてHFPおよびR22の共沸組成物または共沸様組成物を主として含む留分が得られ、缶出液としてHFPの分離されたHFO-1234yfが得られる。このとき、R22/HFPが大きいほど留出液へのHFPの回収率が向上する。また、例2~例10では、缶出液中のHFPに対するHFO-1234yfの量が著しく増大しており、特に、R22/HFPが大きいほど、その効果は顕著であることが分かる。また、例2、例5~例7では、その他の例よりもHFP分離率が若干劣るが、リボイラー負荷が小さくなっていることがわかる。
In Examples 2 to 10, HFO-1234yf and HFP are separated with high accuracy. As a result, a distillate mainly containing an azeotropic composition or an azeotrope-like composition of HFP and R22 is obtained as a distillate, and HFO-1234yf from which HFP is separated is obtained as a distillate. At this time, the recovery rate of HFP in the distillate improves as R22 / HFP increases. In Examples 2 to 10, it can be seen that the amount of HFO-1234yf relative to HFP in the bottoms is remarkably increased. In particular, the larger R22 / HFP is, the more remarkable the effect is. In Examples 2 and 5 to 7, the HFP separation rate is slightly inferior to the other examples, but it can be seen that the reboiler load is small.
