The invention discloses a preparation method capable of improving the yield of trifluoroethylene, which comprises the following steps: in the presence of an
organic solvent, mixing 1-chloro-1, 2-dibromo-1, 2, 2-
trifluoroethane, a
metal dehalogenating agent and an activating agent for reaction, then cooling and dropwise adding water into the
reaction system to obtain trifluoroethylene, the activating agent is 1, 2-dibromo-1, 2, 2-
trifluoroethane, and the
metal dehalogenating agent is 1, 2-dibromo-1, 2, 2-
trifluoroethane. The catalyst is selected from at least one of 1, 2-dibromoethane,
bromoethane and
dichloroethane. An activating agent is added into a
reaction system, the activating agent serves as an efficient initiator, the activating agent is heated to decompose and release free radicals, the free radicals reduce oxides on the surface of a
metal dehalogenating agent, reaction active sites of the metal dehalogenating agent are exposed, reaction of 1-chloro-1, 2-dibromo-1, 2, 2-trifluoroethane and the metal dehalogenating agent is facilitated, and the metal dehalogenating agent can be used for dehalogenating 1-chloro-1, 2-dibromo-1, 2, 2-trifluoroethane. Therefore, the conversion rate of the reaction is effectively improved, and the yield of trifluoroethylene is improved.
