Abstract
The invention relates to a method for purifying a crude 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) containing HFC-245fa and 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-trans-1-propene (HCFC-1233zd(t)), by distillation. This method is characterized in that the distillation is conducted in the presence of a solvent having a boiling point which is higher than that of HCFC-1233zd(t), thereby to substantially remove HCFC-1233zd(t) from the crude HFC-245fa. This solvent may be selected from carbon chlorides, chlorohydrocarbons, fluorochlorohydrocarbons, saturated hydrocarbons, and mixtures thereof. With the use of this solvent, it becomes possible to substantially easily separate HFC-245fa from HCFC-1233zd(t).
