The invention provides a green and efficient production method of
hexafluoropropylene oxide, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of organic
fluorine compounds. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out a continuous oxidation reaction on
hexafluoropropylene,
oxygen and a perfluoro
solvent in an immersed
supergravity reactor to generate HFPO and byproducts
carbonyl fluoride and trifluoroacetyl
fluoride, removing the
solvent from the reacted liquid, feeding the liquid into an acyl
fluoride rectifying
tower, separating low-boiling-point acyl
fluoride from the
tower top, enriching HFPO, unreacted HFP and a small amount of acyl fluoride from the
tower bottom, and carrying out a continuous oxidation reaction on the HFPO and the byproducts
carbonyl fluoride and trifluoroacetyl fluoride. Converting acyl fluoride into
anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid from a high-boiling-point substance at the bottom of the tower through a
hydrolysis tower, carrying out alkali washing on the synthesis gas to obtain an HFPO crude product, and further carrying out
drying and
extractive distillation to obtain an HFPO product; acyl fluoride rectified by an acyl fluoride rectifying tower is directly used for producing PAVE, and long-chain perfluoroacyl fluoride accumulated in a
solvent of oxidation reaction is hydrolyzed to synthesize a non-PFOA emulsifier. The method has the advantages of high HFPO selectivity, short reaction time and high safety; the method realizes resource comprehensive utilization of byproducts, and is environment-friendly and economical.
