Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of gas separation and purification, and particularly relates to a method for removing 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane from perfluoroisobutyronitrile. Background Art

[0002] Perfluoroisobutyronitrile is a new type of environmentally friendly insulating gas with excellent insulation performance and environmentally friendly performance. It is considered to be an ideal substitute for SF6 at this stage. The new generation of insulating medium developed with it has been successfully applied to gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated pipeline (GIL), and has attracted extensive attention from researchers at home and abroad.

[0003] Since there are many synthetic routes for perfluoroisobutyronitrile, the types and contents of various impurities in products from different manufacturers vary greatly. Although the technical routes of each manufacturer are different, the synthesis process of perfluoroisobutyronitrile requires the dehydration reaction of heptafluoroisobutyramide, so the impurity 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane is commonly found in commercially available perfluoroisobutyronitrile products, and the product purity range is concentrated between 99.2% and 99.9%.

[0004] Patent CN110526834A discloses a method for preparing high-purity perfluoroisobutyronitrile based on adsorption and cryogenic distillation. The method removes most of the water and a small amount of acidic substances by adsorption, and then uses cryogenic distillation to remove non-condensable gases, halogenated hydrocarbons and fluorocarbon compounds, and finally obtains high-purity perfluoroisobutyronitrile gas with a purity of 99.99%.

[0005] Patent CN112979499A discloses a method for separating a mixed gas of perfluoroisobutyronitrile and carbon dioxide. The method uses a modified adsorbent to remove pentafluoropropionitrile, trifluoroethylene, ethanedinitrile and saturated fluorocarbon compounds produced by the decomposition of perfluoroisobutyronitrile, and then further purifies the perfluoroisobutyronitrile by distillation to finally obtain perfluoroisobutyronitrile gas with a purity higher than 99.3%.

[0006] Although these methods can increase the purity of perfluoroisobutyronitrile to more than 99%, or even 99.99%, they all require the use of a combination of multiple unit operations for purification, such as adsorption and distillation, and low-temperature distillation usually consumes a lot of energy. In addition, the removal effect of the key impurity 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane is not described in detail.

[0007] Therefore, how to further improve the quality of perfluoroisobutyronitrile and achieve deep removal of the key impurity 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane while simplifying the operating process and reducing energy consumption is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0015] 5) Repeat step 4) until the level of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane is undetectable.

[0016] Further, in step 1), the pore size of the aluminum phosphate molecular sieve is 0.3-1.2 nm, and the preferred pore size is 0.7-0.9 nm.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 3), the content of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane in the perfluoroisobutyronitrile raw material to be treated is at least 552.5 ppm.

[0019] Furthermore, in step 4), the filling factor of perfluoroisobutyronitrile in the gas cylinder is 0.5-1.5.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 5, a hydrogen flame ionization detector is used to detect the content of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane.

[0021] The second aspect of the present invention provides the use of aluminum phosphate molecular sieve in the removal of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane in perfluoroisobutyronitrile, wherein the structural formula of the aluminum phosphate molecular sieve is (El x Al y P z )O2.

[0064] Example 5 (Regeneration effect of AlPO-5 molecular sieve)

[0065] Nitrogen is introduced into the adsorption column, and the saturated AlPO-5 molecular sieve adsorbent (i.e., AlPO-5 saturated with 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane) is calcined at 350°C. After 12 hours, the introduction of nitrogen is stopped, and the adsorption column is evacuated to 0.01MPa (absolute pressure) with a vacuum pump, and cooled to room temperature.

[0066] Test Example 1

[0067] In order to compare the effects of different adsorbents on the removal of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane from perfluoroisobutyronitrile, this test example compared the content of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane before and after the reaction of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 and Example 1. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0068] Table 4 Comparison of the effects of different adsorbents

[0069]

[0070] The data in Table 4 show that each molecular sieve has a certain degree of adsorption effect on 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, among which the adsorption effect of aluminum phosphate molecular sieve AlPO-5 is the most significant, and the single-pass adsorption rate of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane reaches 90.4%, which is much higher than other types of molecular sieves. This may be due to the regular pore structure and large specific surface area of ​​aluminum phosphate molecular sieve, which are more conducive to the adsorption of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane.

[0071] Test Example 2

[0072] In order to compare the effects of different aluminum phosphate molecular sieves on the removal of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane in perfluoroisobutyronitrile, this test example compared the content of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane before and after the reaction of Examples 1 to 3. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0073] Table 5 Comparison of adsorption effects of different aluminum phosphate molecular sieves

[0074]

[0075] The data in Table 5 show that different aluminum phosphate molecular sieves have good adsorption effects on 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, and the single-pass adsorption rate reaches more than 85%. The pore size of ALPO-8 is 7.9*8.7A, the pore size of VPI-5 is 12.7*12.7A, and the pore size of ALPO-5 is 7.3*7.3A. In comparison, the AlPO-5 molecular sieve with a pore size of about 7.3*7.3A has the best adsorption effect. This may be because the adsorbent pore size is too large, which will cause the adsorption of part of perfluoroisobutyronitrile, affect the adsorption capacity, and reduce the adsorption rate of heptafluoropropane.

[0076] Test Example 3

[0077] In order to compare the effects of multiple adsorption treatments with different adsorbents on the removal of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane from perfluoroisobutyronitrile, this test example compared the contents of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane before and after the reaction in Examples 1 and 4 and Comparative Examples 2 and 6. The results are shown in Table 6.

[0078] Table 6 Comparison of multiple adsorption effects of AlPO-5 molecular sieve and 10X molecular sieve

[0079]

[0080] From the data in Table 6, it can be seen that using AlPO-5 molecular sieve as adsorbent, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane can be completely removed after two adsorptions, while the adsorption rate of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane for faujasite 10X molecular sieve with similar pore size is only 81.2% after two adsorptions.

[0081] Test Example 4

[0082] In order to study the regeneration adsorption effect of the AlPO-5 molecular sieve with the best adsorption effect, this test example compared the content of 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane before and after the reaction of Examples 1 and 4 and Comparative Examples 2 and 6. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0083] Table 7 Comparison of regeneration adsorption effect of AlPO-5 molecular sieve

[0084]

[0085] From the data in Table 7, it can be seen that the single-pass adsorption rate of the regenerated AlPO-5 molecular sieve is 88.8%, which is slightly lower than the 90.4% of the fresh AlPO-5 molecular sieve. After the secondary adsorption, 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane can also reach undetectable level, which is basically equivalent to the effect of fresh adsorbent.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred arrangement scheme, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
