Abstract
A method for preparing 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, including: a) introducing hexafluoropropylene and hydrogen to a first reactor for reaction in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a first mixture; b) washing and drying the first mixture, and introducing the treated first mixture to a first distillation column to obtain 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane, 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene, and hexafluoropropylene; recycling the 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane to the first reactor, and introducing the 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene and the hexafluoropropylene to a second distillation column to yield hexafluoropropylene and 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene; and recycling the hexafluoropropylene to the first reactor; c) introducing the 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropene and hydrogen to a second reactor in the presence of a catalyst to obtain a second mixture; and d) washing and drying the second mixture, and introducing the second mixture to a third distillation column to yield 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane; and recycling the 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane to the second reactor to yield 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.
