A continuous synthesis and purification method of 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl
ether relates to the technical field of
chemical production, and comprises the following steps: S1, in a reaction kettle, trifluoroethanol and
tetrafluoroethylene are subjected to an
addition reaction in the presence of a catalyst and a
solvent; s2, discharging a part of the reaction liquid obtained in the step S1, and carrying out primary
distillation to obtain a crude product rich in 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl
ether and a primary
distillation kettle bottom material rich in a catalyst, trifluoroethanol and a
solvent; s3, returning at least part of the primary
distillation kettle bottom material to the reaction kettle, and continuously adding new trifluoroethanol and
tetrafluoroethylene into the reaction kettle to realize
continuous reaction; and S4, washing and rectifying the crude product obtained in the step S2, so as to obtain a high-purity 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl
ether product, namely the 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl ether. The continuous synthesis method comprises the following steps: discharging and rectifying a reaction solution by utilizing the
boiling point difference of a product, a
raw material and a
solvent without azeotropy, and returning the
raw material to a reaction kettle to continuously participate in the reaction, thereby realizing the continuous synthesis of 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl ether.
