Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a process for the purification of pentafluoroethane (R125) containing chloropentafluoroethane (R115). The mixture to be purified is subjected to an extractive distillation, the extractant being selected from dimethylformamide (DMF), dioxane, dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and diethylsulphoxide (DESO).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the purification of pentafluoroethane containing chloropentafluoroethane by extractive distillation, said process comprising the use of an extractant selected from dimethylformamide, dioxane, dimethylsulphoxide and diethylsulphoxide. 2. The process according to claim 1 , in which the extractant is selected from dimethylsulphoxide and diethylsulphoxide. 3. The process according to claim 1 , in which the distillation is carried out under a pressure ranging from atmospheric pressure to 20 bars. 4. The process according to claim 1 , in which the pentafluoroethane/chloropentafluoroethane molar ratio before distillation ranges from 2 to 99. 5. The process according to claim 1 , in which the pentafluoroethane/chloropentafluoroethane molar ratio after distillation ranges from 5 to 99999. 6. The process according to claim 1 , in which the mixture containing pentafluoroethane and chloropentafluoroethane to be purified originates from the fluorination reaction of perchloroethylene or from an intermediate fluorination product of said perchloroethylene. 7. The process according to claim 6 , in which the intermediate fluorination product of said perchloroethylene is selected from dichlorotrifluoroethane or chlorotetrafluoroethane. 8. The process according to claim 1 , in which the mixture containing pentafluoroethane and chloropentafluoroethane to be purified originates from the hydrogenolysis reaction of chloropentafluoroethane.
