study focuses on the following targets: optimizing operation

parameters such as (1) the type of extractive solvents, (2) the

reflux ratio, (3) the number of tray, and (4) the mass flow rate

of solvents.

2. Material and Methods

2.1. Physical properties of HFP and HFPO

Table 1 shows the molecular weights, molecular structures

and the normal boiling points of HFP and HFPO. Both the

molecular structure and the normal boiling point are quite

similar between HFP and HFPO, indicating that the separation

of these molecules from their mixture is hampered.

Variation of temperature and pressure with respect to the

mole fraction of HFP is described in Figure 1. The dew point

of a vapor is located quite near from the bubble point of a liquid

at any given mole fraction of HFP. It indicates that a normal

distillation cannot be successfully used to separate them and

another type of distillation such as an extractive distillation has

to be considered.

Typical organic materials were chosen as an exπactive solvent

which has a relatively low boiling point compared to HFP and

HFPO so that it can easily be recovered from the mixture of

HFP, HFPO, and solvent after the ex없띠ve distillation. It should

not form an azeotropic solution together with either HFP or

HFPO. The solvent has to be an inert material during the syn­

thetic reaction of HFPO. The physicochemical properties are

shown in Table 2.

2.2. Computational modeling

The mixture of HFP and HFPO is supplied to the extractive

distillation column 1 so that the pure HFPO can be obtained as

a top product and the mixture of HFP and the solvent can be

rate, the type of solvent, the purity of HFPO, the heat duties

of the condenser and the reboiler, etc. A proper equation of

state for the given gas is chosen so as to predict the separation

behavior well. Both the shortcut modeling of DSTWU/ Aspen

Plus and the rigorous modeling simu1ation of RADFRAC/ Aspen

Plus are utilized together. The target purity of HFPO is set to

be 0.98 in terms of mole fraction. The purity of HFPO was

calculated as a function of the solvent flow rate together with

several parameters such as the type of solvent and the reflux

ratio. The heat duties of the condenser and the reboiler are also

simu1ated with the s따ne condition. A typical operating condition

for a numerical analysis is represented in Table 3.

3. Resulfs and Discussion

A type of condenser is fixed to be a partial condenser since

the top product is collected as a gas so that it can be directly

used as an intermediate in the industrial organofluorine chemistry:

specifically as a monomer for fluoropolymers. Also several

design variables are fixed such as the number of trays of the

extractive disti11ation and the operating pressure by a preliminary

design with Aspen Plus so that the required heat duty is con­

trolled to be minimized.

3.1. Effect oftray location for feedstock on purity of HFPO

At the given opera바19 condition shown in Table 3, the purity

of HFPO was simu1ated and the resu1ts of it is shown in Figure

3 as a fimction of flow rate of extractive solvent. πle 1, l-dich1oro-

1-fluoroethane was selected as a model solvent to investigate

the optimum locations of both a feed and a solvent tray in the

extractive distillation column. At the moderate flow rate of sol­

vent, the p따ity of HF‘PO was targeted to be higher than 0.98 in

mole fraction. The results show that the Case 1, Case 4 and

Case 6 (see Table 3) are suitable to obtain the target purity of

HFPO at over the solvent flow rate of 200 kg d-1. Therefore, the solvent tray was fixed to be 5 and the feed tray can be se­

lected among 15, 20, and 25 depen띠ng on the reasonable con­

struction of the distillation column. In 깐lÏs study, the tray number

of 20 was selected as a feed tray.

3.2. Screening of solvents

In order to determine the solvent for an efficient extractive

distillation of HFP/HFPO mixture, the purity of HFPO were

calculated with respect to the mass flow rate of 1, l-dichloro­

l-fluoroethane, dichloromethane, and diisopropyl ether, respec­

tively, as shown in Figure 4. the p따ity of HFPO for all solvents

increased as the increase in the mass flow rate, which indicates

that the process toward the purification of HFPO is underlying

the steady-state. Although the recorded purities of HFPO for

diisopropyl ether and dichloromethane were higher than that for

the 1, l-dichloro-l-fluoroethane at 5 atm and 10 atm, respec­

tively, the gap of the purity was ne생i밍bly low (2 ~ 5%). In other

words, all of the extractive solvent candidates exhibit comparable

performance toward the purification of HFPO. It should be

noted that the level of HFPO purity is over 0.85 at 5 atm, 0.917

at 7 atm, and 0.945 at 10 atm, which are hi양1 enough to reach

theprim따y target purity of HFPO. Therefore, examination and

comparison of the applied heat at reboiler (bottom) and ex­

changed heat 따 cond없lser (top) in the column for theses solvents

is important for practical application.

3.3. Heat duties for condenser and reboiler

πle heat duties on the condenser and the reboiler depend on

the various operating parameters, particularly the type of the

solvent for the extractive distillation. The heat capacities of the

utilized solvents are different from each other, leading that the

different heat duty is required. Since the heat duty is one of

the major operating costs, the heat duty is designed to be as

low as possible. In Figure 5, the heat duty is represented as

a function of the flow rate of the solvent used at the given

typical condition such as the operating pressure of 5, 7, and

10 atm. It easily can be seen that the lowest heat duty can be

more effective. Furthermore, the heat of vaporization for 1,1-

dich1oro-1-f1uoroethane is 27.8 kJ mor' and 1I1at for dich10r0-

methane is 28.1 kJ mo1.1 It is believed that the heat duty for

3.4. E뼈ct of reflux ratio on purity of HFPO

A ret1ux ratio 생 m표 of 1he ""'y important 야g뼈ng 뼈rsmeters

If 1I1e ret1ux ratio is 1따ge, the 벼ameter of a disti1lation ∞,lumn

increases, 11않벼ng to a 벼ffic띠t control of homogeneous flows

of gas and liquid. Therefore, 1I1e reflux ratio 얘ould be design어

as small 잃 possib1e unti1 the target p따ity of HFPO can be

10 obtain the target purity at 1I1e 10w f10w mte of 1I1e solveot

As a re뼈t, 1he ref1ux ratios of 2.5 뻐d5 따e insuf죄cient and

the ref1ux ratio of 15 is 100 1없ge 10 reach desirab1e 1eve1 of

HFPO purity. Therefore, the ref1ux ratio of 10 is detennined

10 be the op미미zed ref1ux. ratio. Moreover, the mole fraction of

HFPOinα-eased as the increase in the feed pressure, which is

in good agreerneot with the resu1ts sbown in F멍ure 4.
