REVERSIBLE WATER-FREE PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF ACID-CONTAINING GAS MIXTURES

摘要

Gas mixtures which comprise acids like HF, HCl oder HBr and other constituents, especially gas mixtures which comprise or consist of carboxylic acid fluorides, C(O)F2 or phosphorous pentafluoride and HCl and optionally HF, can be separated by ionic liquids. The process is performed reversibly. Ionic liquids are applied the anion of which corresponds to a stronger acid than the acid to be removed. Highly purified products, for example, highly purified carbonyl fluoride can be obtained.
