Abstract
The separation of mixtures of hexafluoropropylene oxide and hexafluoropropylene is effected by extractive distillation in the presence of methylene chloride, whereby an excellent separating effect is achieved at a low energy consumption.
Claims1
A process for the removal of hexafluoropropylene oxide from gas mixtures composed of hexafluoropropylene oxide and hexafluoropropylene by extractive distillation in the presence of an extractive medium, which comprises bringing the gas mixture into contact with methylene chloride as the extractive medium, whereupon hexafluoropropylene oxide is evolved in the form of gas and hexafluoropropylene is absorbed and is then liberated by heating the methylene chloride to its boiling point.
