The present invention provides a method for purifying HFO-1234yf, comprising the steps of (1) cooling a liquid mixture containing HFO-1234yf and HF to separate the mixture into a upper liquid phase having a high concentration of HF and a lower liquid phase having a high concentration of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene; and (2) subjecting the lower liquid phase obtained in step (1) to a distillation operation to withdraw a mixture containing HFO-1234yf and HF from a top of a distillation column, thereby obtaining substantially HF-free HFO-1234yf from a bottom of the distillation column. According to the present invention, HF and HFO-1234yf contained in a mixture containing HF and HFO-1234yf can be separated under simple and economically advantageous conditions.
本发明提供了一种用于纯化HFO-1234yf的方法,包括以下步骤:(1)冷却含有HFO-1234yf和HF的液体混合物,将混合物分离成具有高浓度HF的上液相和具有高浓度
2,3,3,3-四氟丙烯的下液相;(2)将步骤(1)中获得的下液相进行蒸馏操作,从蒸馏塔顶部提取含有HFO-1234yf和HF的混合物,从蒸馏塔底部获得基本无HF的HFO-1234yf。根据本发明,在简单且经济有利的条件下,可以将含有HF和HFO-1234yf的混合物中的HF和HFO-1234yf分离。
