Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-efficiency purification device and method of octafluoropropane by multi-tower series distillation, belonging to the field of chemical separation. Background Art

[0002] High-purity octafluoropropane (purity greater than 99.999%) is a perfluorinated electronic specialty gas with good stability, excellent insulation, low atmospheric life and efficient etching and cleaning performance. It has been widely used in industries such as medicine, refrigeration, semiconductors and integrated circuits.

[0003] At present, high-purity octafluoropropane is obtained by combining two or more methods such as distillation, adsorption, impurity conversion and membrane separation for purification. Chinese patent CN202410202329.X provides a method for purifying octafluoropropane by extractive distillation technology, comprising the following steps: (1) extractive distillation; the extractant and the crude octafluoropropane enter the extractive distillation tower together, wherein the mass ratio of the crude octafluoropropane to the extractant is 1:3-7, and the reflux ratio is 2:1-6; (2) adsorption; the crude octafluoropropane after extractive distillation is passed into the adsorption tower filled with adsorbent, the adsorption temperature is 10-30°C, the pressure is 0.1-0.6MPa, and the flow rate is 15-25kg / h to obtain purified octafluoropropane; the adsorbent described in step (2) is a copper salt-doped modified crystalline silicon-aluminum zeolite molecular sieve adsorbent. The process is relatively complicated, and the extraction agent needs to be added, and the production efficiency is low.

[0004] Chinese patent CN202311416436.4 discloses a method for purifying high-purity octafluoropropane, which specifically includes the following steps: first, filtering the unpurified octafluoropropane raw material stored in the storage tank for particles; second, passing the filtered octafluoropropane into a heavy-removal distillation tower, performing a primary distillation on the octafluoropropane to remove the heavy impurities in the octafluoropropane; then, passing the octafluoropropane from which the heavy impurities have been removed into a light-removal distillation tower, performing a secondary distillation on the octafluoropropane to remove the light impurities in the octafluoropropane; finally, performing an adsorption operation on the octafluoropropane from which the light impurities have been removed, and high-purity octafluoropropane can be obtained. When using a purification process containing an adsorption method, the adsorbent needs to be activated and regenerated, and the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent will also change with the continuous purification of the crude product, and the stability of the entire purification process is poor. When using a purification process containing an impurity conversion method or a membrane separation method, the operating cost will be relatively high.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to seek a method for purifying octafluoropropane with simple process and good economic efficiency. Summary of the invention
