The invention relates to a preparation method of 2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene, which comprises the following steps: carrying out
free radical addition on
carbon tetrachloride and
ethylene to generate 1, 1, 1, 3-tetrachloropropane; the method comprises the following steps of: chlorinating 1, 1, 1, 1, 3-tetrachloropropane to generate 1, 1, 1, 2, 3-pentachloropropane; the method comprises the following steps: carrying out
fluorine and
chlorine exchange on 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3-pentachloropropane
liquid phase to generate 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoro-3-chloropropane; and carrying out dehydrochlorination on the 1, 1, 1, 2-tetrafluoro-3-chloropropane to generate the 2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropene.
Carbon tetrachloride and
ethylene are used as starting raw materials, and the raw materials are low in cost and easy to obtain;
hydrogen and
noble metal hydrogenation catalysts are not needed, so that the
safety risk and high cost of
hydrogenation reaction are avoided; the
fluorine-
chlorine exchange process effectively reduces polyfluorinated by-products, and the product is high in purity and yield;
reaction conditions are mild, intermediate products are easy to separate, and the method is suitable for large-scale
continuous production; the byproduct HCl can be absorbed to prepare
hydrochloric acid, so that recycling is realized, and green chemical requirements are met.
