The invention relates to the field of chemical equipment, and discloses a production device and method of 1, 1-difluoroethane. The production apparatus comprises: a reactor; a
reflux tower and a first condenser, a feed inlet and a
liquid phase outlet of the
reflux tower are connected with the reactor, a
gas phase outlet of the
reflux tower is connected with the first condenser, and a
gas phase outlet of the first condenser is connected with the reactor; the separation tower is connected with a
liquid phase outlet of the first condenser, a
liquid phase outlet of the separation tower is connected with the reactor, a
gas phase outlet of the separation tower is connected with the second condenser, a gas phase outlet of the second condenser is connected with the reactor, and a liquid phase outlet of the second condenser is connected with the separation tower; and the post-
treatment system is connected with the liquid phase extraction port of the separation tower. The production device can be used for separating and recycling
hydrogen fluoride, reducing the content of
hydrogen fluoride in the product, eliminating the consumption of
fresh water and alkali liquor caused by a water alkali washing process, avoiding the generation of aqueous
hydrofluoric acid with low additional value, and eliminating a heavy component removal tower.
