The present invention provides a method for purifying chlorinated hydrocarbon(s), comprising cooling a mixture containing hydrogen fluoride and at least one chlorinated hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, 2,3-dichloro-3,3-difluoropropene, 1,2,3-trichloro-1,1-difluoropropane, and 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane to cause liquid-liquid separation of the mixture into an upper liquid phase having a high hydrogen fluoride concentration and a lower liquid phase having a high chlorinated hydrocarbon concentration, and a method for purifying a chlorinated hydrocarbon, comprising subjecting the lower liquid phase obtained by the liquid-liquid separation to a distillation operation. According to the present invention, a chlorinated hydrocarbon can be purified by separating and removing hydrogen fluoride from a chlorinated hydrocarbon-hydrogen fluoride mixture under simple and economically advantageous conditions.

The present invention provides a method for purifying HFO-1234yf, comprising the steps of (1) cooling a liquid mixture containing HFO-1234yf and HF to separate the mixture into a upper liquid phase having a high concentration of HF and a lower liquid phase having a high concentration of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene; and (2) subjecting the lower liquid phase obtained in step (1) to a distillation operation to withdraw a mixture containing HFO-1234yf and HF from a top of a distillation column, thereby obtaining substantially HF-free HFO-1234yf from a bottom of the distillation column. According to the present invention, HF and HFO-1234yf contained in a mixture containing HF and HFO-1234yf can be separated under simple and economically advantageous conditions.

There is provided a process for the production of iodine pentafluoride which avoids the problems of the production process of iodine pentafluoride of the prior art as much as possible, and which carries out the reaction of fluorine and iodine moderately, so that iodine pentafluoride is produced more safely and more productively. In the process for the production of iodine pentafluoride by reacting fluorine and iodine, fluorine is supplied to the gas phasewhich is adjacent to the liquid phaseof iodine pentafluoride which contains iodine.
