Abstract

There is provided an azeotropic mixture of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC152a). In addition, there is provided a process for the production of HFC152a having a step of more effectively recovering HF which does not contain HFC152a or HFC152a which does not contain HF in which step an azeotropic mixture is distilled off from a column top by subjecting a mixture containing HFC152a and HF, so that HF which does not contain HFC152a or HFC152a which does not contain HF is recovered from a column bottom.
