FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for purifying octafluoropropane. Method is carried out by interaction of crude octafluoropropane comprising impurities with the impurity-decomposing agent at increased temperature and then with adsorbent that are able to remove indicated impurities up to the content less 0.0001 wt.-% from indicated crude octafluoropropane. The 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. Impurities represent at least one compound taken among the group consisting of chloropentafluoroethane, hexafluoropropene, chlorotrifluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane and chlorodifluoromethane. Adsorbent represents at least one substance taken among the group consisting of activated coal, molecular sieves and carbon molecular sieves. Crude octafluoropropane comprises indicated impurities in the amount from 10 to 10 000 mole fr. by mass. Invention proposes gas, etching gas and purifying gas comprising octafluoropropane with purity degree 99.9999 wt.-% and above and containing chlorine compound in the concentration less 0.0001 wt.-%. Invention provides enhancing purity of octafluoropropane.
EFFECT: improved purifying method.
