The invention discloses a catalytic synthesis method of 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-pentafluoropropylene, which comprises the following steps: (1) introducing a
raw material 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoropropane into a reactor, and reacting under the action of a catalyst to obtain crude 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-pentafluoropropylene, the catalyst containing Cr2O3 and one of
metal oxides of Al, Bi and Co; (2) carrying out
water washing, alkali washing and
drying on the crude 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-pentafluoropropene, and then introducing the crude 1, 1, 3, 3, 3-pentafluoropropene into a first rectifying
tower for separation to obtain a mixture containing 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentafluoropropene and a small amount of by-products; and (3) introducing the mixture containing 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentafluoropropylene and a small amount of by-products into a second rectifying
tower, and separating to obtain a 1, 1, 1, 3, 3-pentafluoropropylene product. The method has the advantages of simple process, high catalyst activity, low cost and
environmental protection.
