Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of octafluoropropane preparation, and particularly relates to an electrolysis device and a preparation method suitable for preparing octafluoropropane gas by an electrolysis method.
Background
Octafluoropropane has the characteristics of no toxicity, no odor, no combustion, insolubility in water and oil, very low solubility in an organic solvent, good electrical insulation, high dielectric rate, good thermal conductivity, physiological drug resistance and the like, and is widely applied to the industries of electronics, microelectronics, medicines and the like; at present, the preparation method of octafluoropropane basically adopts a chemical synthesis method, and the main route is as follows:
1. the direct gas phase fluorination method of hydrocarbon and hexafluoropropylene, namely the hydrocarbon or hexafluoropropylene is directly fluorinated by elemental fluorine under the action of a catalyst, during the fluorination, the C-C bond is broken, a plurality of fragments are generated, and by-products such as dimer, polymer and the like are generated, so that the yield of octafluoropropane is not high;
2. fluorination of fluorochloroalkanes, i.e. reaction of fluorochloroalkanes with fluorine, gives octafluoropropane. This method has two problems: firstly, unreacted chlorofluoroalkane is difficult to remove in a purification section; secondly, due to the influence of electronegativity of adjacent fluorine atoms, cl atoms are difficult to replace by fluorine atoms, and the conversion rate is low;
3. hexafluoropropylene is subjected to two-step reaction to obtain octafluoropropane. Firstly, reacting hexafluoropropylene and hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a fluorination catalyst to obtain heptafluoropropane; and secondly, reacting heptafluoropropane with fluorine gas in the absence of a catalyst to prepare octafluoropropane. The reaction has high requirements on equipment materials and catalysts.
4. With cobalt trifluoride CoF 3 Fluorinating hexafluoropropylene to octafluoropropane for a fluorinating agent. The method comprises two steps: the first step is that hexafluoropropylene is fluorinated and cobalt trifluoride is converted into cobalt difluoride fluoride; in the second step, the cobalt difluoride is fluorinated to cobalt trifluoride. This results in a batch process, and at the same time, the cobalt trifluoride and the cobalt difluoride are converted into each other continuously, so that the molecular structure in the fluorinating agent is changed continuously, and finally the cobalt trifluoride is pulverized to influence the yield of the octafluoropropane.
In summary, because the chemical synthesis method of octafluoropropane has the problems of complex process or low conversion rate, researchers adopt an electrolytic method to prepare octafluoropropane in one step, the method is to disperse a gas raw material in anhydrous HF for electrolysis, an anode electrolyzes F element in the HF into F free radicals, and the F free radicals react with the gas raw material to generate anode gas containing octafluoropropane; the cathode electrolyzes the H ions in the HF to H elements, which combine to form hydrogen. The method has the advantages of simple process, stable components of anode products and the like, but the electrolysis process has the problems that carbon chains are easy to break, impurities such as carbon tetrafluoride, hexafluoroethane and the like are easy to generate, and the yield of octafluoropropane is low; in addition, in the actual operation process, the yield of the octafluoropropane can be guaranteed to be not less than 50% only when the height of the electrode exceeds 2m, so that the design and processing difficulty of the electrolytic cell is increased.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing 1:
a multi-stage tubular electrolysis device for preparing octafluoropropane by adopting an electrolysis method comprises more than two electrolysis baths 6 and 10, anodes 4 and 8, cathodes 5 and 9, liquid inlets 1 and 7, a gas pipeline 3 and a gas outlet 11; wherein, the electrolytic tanks 6 and 10 provide a closed electrolytic environment and store electrolyte; the anodes 4 and 8 provide gas raw material channels and fluorine for reaction; the cathodes 5,9 constitute an electronic circuit; adding electrolyte into the electrolytic tanks 6 and 10 through the liquid inlets 1 and 7; the electrolytic tank is connected with the electrolytic tank through a gas pipeline 3, simultaneously the electrolytic gas of the previous electrolytic tank is cooled, and a gas channel is provided; the crude octafluoropropane gas is mainly discharged through a gas outlet 11.
Wherein the anodes 4 and 8 are local porous nickel tubes, and the cathodes 5 and 9 are nickel tubes; the electrolyte is molten salt of HF and alkali metal fluoride, the content of the alkali metal fluoride is 3% -15%, and the electrolyte comprises CsF, liF, KF and NaF; the gas raw material is heptafluoropropane, propane or propylene.
In the invention, the number of the electrolytic cells connected in series is 2-8; when the electrolytic bath is connected in series too much, the crude product gas of the octafluoropropane contains H 2 The probability of gas leakage is increased due to excessive gas pipelines exposed to the environment; once H leaks out 2 And the air forms an explosive gas atmosphere, so that fire or explosion can be caused. In addition, the electrolytic bath is increased, the response of the matched copper bar and the rectifier cabinet is increased, and the electrolytic cost cannot be reduced.
In the present invention, the raw material gas inlet rate of a single electrode is 50L/h to 2000L/h, preferably 100L/h to 1500L/h. The gas raw material inlet rate is too low, the gas raw material is easy to generate carbon chain breakage, the yield of the octafluoropropane is low, and meanwhile, the electrolysis current is too low, so that the cost of unit electric quantity of the electrolysis device is increased; the gas raw material inlet speed is too high, the gas raw material is easy to break carbon chains, the yield of the octafluoropropane is low, and meanwhile, the entrained electrolyte is too much, so that a gas pipeline connected with an electrolytic cell is blocked, and the electrolysis is stopped.
In the invention, the distance between the anode and the cathode is 2mm-20mm, preferably 3mm-15mm; the electrode spacing is too small, firstly, the assembly requirement of the electrolytic cell is too high, when the height of the electrode exceeds 500mm, the electrode is contacted due to 1% of angle error, and the electrolytic cell cannot work; secondly, the space between the electrodes is narrow and easy to be occupied by gas in most space, resulting in too low electrolytic current and too high local temperature, and the nickel anode is corroded to form NiF 2 Substances such as the like block the anode air inlet hole, the electrolysis stops, and the most serious result is NiF 2 The cathode is separated out, so that the electrode is short-circuited, and the electrolytic cell is exploded. The electrode spacing is too large, so that the electrode area of the unit volume of the electrolytic cell is reduced, and the cost is increased; secondly, the electrolytic current is too low, and the yield of the crude octafluoropropane is low.
In the present invention, the electrolytic voltage is 4V to 10V, preferably 5V to 8V. The low voltage can lead to low electrolytic current, low yield of crude octafluoropropane and low conversion rate of octafluoropropane. Too high a voltage will result in F 2 It appears that, firstly, the octafluoropropane yield is reduced; second, will react with H 2 And (4) reacting, and knocking the electrolytic cell.
A method for preparing octafluoropropane by using the multistage tubular electrolysis device comprises the following steps:
step one, adding electrolyte: selection of basic fluorides (MF) n ) Preparing HF & xMF as conducting agent at 0-10 deg.C n Adding the prepared electrolyte through a liquid inlet of the electrolytic cell, wherein the metal element M is Cs, li, na, K and the like; in the electrolysis process, the consumed HF is supplemented to the electrolytic cell through the feeding port.
Step two, electrolytic dewatering: gradually increasing the electrolytic voltage in sections, and removing water from the electrolyte according to the electrolytic current trend: as the alkaline fluoride is dried immediately, trace impurities such as water and the like still exist, and the trace impurities need to be removed in an electrolysis mode. In the process, the electrolytic voltage is increased to 3V-4V, and the electrolytic current trend is observed; when the current is reduced to be close to 0, the voltage is increased to 5V-6V, and the electrolytic current trend is observed; when the current is reduced to be close to 0, the voltage is increased to 6V-7V, and the electrolytic current trend is observed; when the current drops to approximately 0, it is considered that the electrolyte solution is electrolyzed and contains no impurities such as water.
Step three, electrolyzing and synthesizing a crude octafluoropropane product: the gas raw material enters the anode area of the first electrolytic cell through a gas inlet; gas raw materials float between an anode and a cathode through an anode porous area, and octafluoropropane and other incomplete perfluorinated gases generated by electrolysis enter the anode area of the second electrolytic tank through a gas pipeline; octafluoropropane and other incompletely perfluorinated gases drift to the anode and cathode electrolysis in the anode porous area of the second electrolytic cell, and the incompletely perfluorinated gases are converted into octafluoropropane through electrolysis; octafluoropropane and other incompletely fluorinated gases generated by the second electrolytic cell sequentially enter other electrolytic cells through gas pipelines until the incompletely fluorinated gases do not exist at the gas outlet; at this time, octafluoropropane was produced as main impurities of carbon tetrafluoride and hexafluoropropane.
