FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for purifying octafluorocyclobutane. Method is carried out by interaction of crude octafluorocyclobutane containing impurities with the impurity-decomposing agent at increased temperature and then with adsorbent that is able to eliminate indicated impurities up to the content less 0.0001 wt.-% from the mentioned crude octafluorocyclobutane. Impurity-decomposing agent comprises ferric (III) oxide and compound of alkaline-earth metal in the amount from 5 to 40 wt.-% of ferric oxide and from 60 to 95 wt.-% of compound of alkaline-earth metal as measured for the complete mass of the impurity-decomposing agent. Ferric (III) oxide represents γ-form of iron hydroxyoxide and/or γ-form of ferric (III) oxide. Impurity represents at least one fluorocarbon taken among the group consisting of 2-chloro-1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, 1-chloro-1,2,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1-chloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane, hexafluoropropene and 1H-heptafluoropropane. Adsorbent represents at least one of representatives taken among the group including activated carbon, carbon molecular sieves and activated coal. Crude octafluorocyclobutane interacts with the mentioned impurity-decomposing agent at temperature from 250oC to 380oC. Invention proposes gas, etching gas and purifying gas including octafluorocyclobutane with purity degree 99.9999 wt.-% and above and comprising fluorocarbon impurity in the concentration less 0.0001 wt.-%. Invention provides enhancing purity of octafluorocyclobutane.
EFFECT: improved purifying method.
