Abstract

There is provided an azeotropic mixture having 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and hydrogen fluoride. Further, there is provided a process of separating/purifying R-245fa and/or HF from a mixture of R-245fa and HF wherein the mixture of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and hydrogen fluoride is subjected to a distillation step so that a distillate is obtained which has the azeotropic mixture of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane and hydrogen fluoride, and a bottom product is obtained which has separated/purified 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane or hydrogen fluoride.
