Abstract
A process for preparing alkali metal salts of trifluoroacetic acid in the anhydrous and crystalline state. In a first stage, trifluoroacetic acid is neutralized with an alkaline agent in a medium consisting essentially of an alcohol containing 3 to 4 carbon atoms. In a second stage, the water formed by the neutralization reaction is removed by azeotropic distillation. In a third state, the remainder not removed by distillation in the second stage is treated by adding a hydrocarbon which does not solubilize an alkali metal trifluoroacetate and which forms an azeotrope with the alcohol to separate crystals of anhydrous alkali metal trifluoroacetate.
