PROCESS TO REMOVE HF FROM 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-DECAFLUOROPENTANE

摘要

Disclosed is process for the recovery of HFC-43-10mee from a mixture comprising hydrogen fluoride and HFC-43-10mee, comprising feeding the composition comprising hydrogen fluoride and HFC-43-10mee to a distillation column, subjecting said mixture to a distillation step from which is formed a column distillate composition comprising an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition of hydrogen fluoride and HFC-43-10mee, and a column-bottoms composition comprising HFC-43-10mee, condensing said column distillate composition to form two liquid phases, being i) an HFC-43-10mee-rich phase and ii) an HF-rich phase; and separating said two liquid phases..
