Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Azeotropic or azeotrope-like compositions of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne and water, such as from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, and methods of producing essentially water free 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne and water. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition consists of water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99.9 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −47° C.±0.5° C. at a pressure of about 14.4 psia±2 psia. 6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −46.8° C. at a pressure of about 14.4 psia. 7. An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, which composition has a boiling point of about −47° C.±0.5° C. at a pressure of about 14.4 psia±2 psia. 8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the composition consists of water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 9. A method of forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition comprising forming a blend consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the composition consists of water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said forming step comprises forming a blend consisting essentially of from about 0.1 to about 50 wt. % water from about 50 to about 99.9 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne. 12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −47° C.±0.5° C. at a pressure of about 14.4 psia±2 psia. 13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the composition has a boiling point of about −46.8° C. at a pressure of about 14.4 psia. 14. A method for producing essentially water free 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, comprising the steps of: forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of from about 1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, the composition including a water-rich phase and a 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase; separating the water-rich phase and the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase; and removing water from the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase to produce 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne having less than 1.0 wt. % water. 15. The method of claim 14 , wherein said forming step comprises forming an azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of from about 0.1 to about 50 wt. % water and from about 50 to about 99.9 wt. % 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, based on the combined weight of the water and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne, the composition including a water-rich phase and a 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase. 16. The method of claim 14 , wherein said removing step further comprises removing water from the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase using at least one removal agent selected from the group consisting of a molecular sieve, calcium sulfate, silica, alumina, and combinations thereof. 17. The method of claim 14 , wherein said removing step further comprises separating the water-rich phase and the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase by liquid-liquid phase separation. 18. The method of claim 14 , wherein said removing step further comprises removing water from the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase to produce 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne having less than 0.5 wt. % water. 19. The method of claim 14 , wherein said removing step further comprises removing water from the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase to produce 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne having less than 0.1 wt. % water. 20. The method of claim 14 , wherein said removing step further comprises separating the water-rich phase and the 3,3,3-trifluoropropyne rich phase by distillation.
