In addition, if the raw material composition contains water, it is thought that side reactions will be more likely to occur due to water adsorption on the active sites of the catalyst, and side reactions will also be more likely to occur due to modification and detachment of the catalyst surface caused by water vapor heated to the reaction temperature.

 本開示の一実施形態に係る製造方法は、1,1,2-トリクロロ-1,2,2-トリフルオロエタン(CFC-113)、水素、及び水を含有する原料組成物であって、前記原料組成物全体に対する水の含有率が200質量ppm以下である原料組成物を、触媒に接触させ、CFC-113と水素との反応によりクロロトリフルオロエチレン(CTFE)及びトリフルオロエチレン(HFO-1123)を製造する、CTFE及びHFO-1123の製造方法である。
 以下、組成物全体に対する水の含有率を「組成物の水含有率」ともいう。
[Method for producing CTFE and HFO-1123]
A production method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for producing CTFE and HFO-1123, which comprises contacting a raw material composition containing 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane (CFC-113), hydrogen, and water, wherein the water content relative to the total amount of the raw material composition is 200 ppm by mass or less, with a catalyst, and producing chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) and trifluoroethylene (HFO-1123) by reacting CFC-113 with hydrogen.
Hereinafter, the water content relative to the total composition will also be referred to as the "water content of the composition."

 前記の通り、HFO-1123を効率的に得るためには、CFC-113と水素との反応においてCTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率が高いことが求められる。
 本実施形態では、原料組成物の水含有率が200質量ppm以下であることにより、CTFE及びHFO-1123の高い合計選択率が得られる。その理由は定かではないが、以下のように推測される。
As mentioned above, in order to efficiently obtain HFO-1123, a high total selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123 is required in the reaction of CFC-113 with hydrogen.
In this embodiment, by keeping the water content of the raw material composition at 200 ppm by mass or less, a high total selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123 can be obtained. The reason for this is not clear, but is presumed to be as follows.

 CFC-113と水素との反応によりCTFE及びHFO-1123を製造する場合において、目的化合物であるCTFE及びHFO-1123は、いずれも不飽和結合を有する。そのため、原料組成物が200質量ppmより多く水を含有すると、反応温度に加熱された水蒸気が、生成した目的化合物の加水分解反応を引き起こし、副生成物に変換されることが考えられる。加えて、原料組成物が水を含有すると、触媒の活性サイトに水が吸着することにより副反応が起こりやすくなるとともに、反応温度に加熱された水蒸気に起因する触媒表面の改質、脱落等によっても副反応が起こりやすくなると考えられる。
 特に、原料組成物が後述する前反応組成物を含む場合、原料組成物の水含有率が高くなりやすい。そして、水含有率の高い原料組成物を用いてCFC-113と水素とを反応させると、上記目的化合物の加水分解反応、副反応等が起こりやすく、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率が低くなることが考えられる。
 これに対して、本実施形態では、原料組成物の水含有率が200質量ppm以下であるため、上記目的化合物の加水分解反応及び副反応が起こりにくく、CTFE及びHFO-1123の高い合計選択率が得られると推測される。
When CTFE and HFO-1123 are produced by the reaction of CFC-113 with hydrogen, the target compounds, CTFE and HFO-1123, both have unsaturated bonds. Therefore, if the raw material composition contains more than 200 ppm by mass of water, it is thought that water vapor heated to the reaction temperature will cause a hydrolysis reaction of the generated target compound, converting it into a by-product. In addition, if the raw material composition contains water, it is thought that side reactions will be more likely to occur due to water adsorption on the active sites of the catalyst, and side reactions will also be more likely to occur due to modification and detachment of the catalyst surface caused by water vapor heated to the reaction temperature.
In particular, when the raw material composition contains a pre-reaction composition described below, the water content of the raw material composition is likely to be high. If a raw material composition with a high water content is used to react CFC-113 with hydrogen, hydrolysis reactions of the target compound, side reactions, etc. are likely to occur, and the total selectivity of CTFE and HFO-1123 is thought to be low.
In contrast, in the present embodiment, the water content of the raw material composition is 200 ppm by mass or less, and therefore it is presumed that the hydrolysis reaction and side reactions of the target compound are less likely to occur, and a high total selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123 can be obtained.

 以下、本開示の製造方法の一実施形態について詳細に説明する。
 本開示の一実施形態に係る製造方法では、例えば、触媒が収容された反応器へ、原料であるCFC-113と水素とを供給し、反応器内において、CFC-113、水素、及び水を含有する原料組成物を触媒に接触させる。
 CFC-113及び水素の反応器への供給は、CFC-113と水素とを別々に反応器へ供給することで行ってもよく、あらかじめCFC-113及び水素を混合させた原料組成物を反応器へ供給することで行ってもよい。CFC-113と水素とを別々に反応器へ供給する場合、原料組成物に含有される水としては、例えば、反応器へ供給する前のCFC-113及び水素の少なくとも一方に混入した水が挙げられる。
 なお、触媒に接触させる際のCFC-113は、気相であってもよく、液相であってもよく、気相であることが好ましい。
Hereinafter, one embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present disclosure will be described in detail.
In a production method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, raw materials CFC-113 and hydrogen are supplied to a reactor containing a catalyst, and a raw material composition containing CFC-113, hydrogen, and water is brought into contact with the catalyst in the reactor.
The supply of CFC-113 and hydrogen to the reactor may be carried out by separately supplying CFC-113 and hydrogen to the reactor, or by supplying a raw material composition in which CFC-113 and hydrogen are mixed in advance to the reactor. When CFC-113 and hydrogen are separately supplied to the reactor, examples of water contained in the raw material composition include water mixed in at least one of CFC-113 and hydrogen before being supplied to the reactor.
When brought into contact with the catalyst, CFC-113 may be in the gas phase or liquid phase, preferably in the gas phase.

 本実施形態の製造方法は、連続式であってもよく、バッチ式であってもよい。連続式の製造方法においては、例えば、反応器へCFC-113と水素とを供給すること、反応器内でCFC-113、水素、及び水を含有する原料組成物を触媒に接触させること、及びCFC-113と水素との反応により生成したCTFE及びHFO-1123を含有する生成組成物を反応器から取り出すことは、いずれも連続的に行われる。 The production method of this embodiment may be continuous or batch-wise. In a continuous production method, for example, the steps of supplying CFC-113 and hydrogen to a reactor, contacting a raw material composition containing CFC-113, hydrogen, and water with a catalyst in the reactor, and removing the product composition containing CTFE and HFO-1123 produced by the reaction of CFC-113 and hydrogen from the reactor are all carried out continuously.

 反応器としては、後述する反応温度及び圧力に耐えるものであれば、形状及び構造は特に限定されず、例えば円筒状の縦型反応器が挙げられる。本実施形態の製造方法が連続式である場合、上記円筒状の縦型反応器を反応経路として用いてもよい。
 反応器の材質としては、鉄、ニッケルを主成分とする合金等が挙げられる。また、反応器は、電気ヒータ等の加熱手段を備えていてもよい。
The reactor is not particularly limited in shape or structure as long as it can withstand the reaction temperature and pressure described below, and examples thereof include a cylindrical vertical reactor. When the production method of the present embodiment is a continuous process, the cylindrical vertical reactor may be used as a reaction path.
Examples of materials for the reactor include alloys containing iron and nickel as main components, etc. The reactor may also be equipped with a heating means such as an electric heater.

<原料組成物>
 原料組成物とは、反応器に供給される全成分を表す。原料組成物は、少なくとも原料であるCFC-113及び水素、並びに水を含有する。必要に応じて希釈剤等の他の成分が反応器に供給される場合は、前記他の成分も原料組成物に含有される。
 原料組成物全体に対するCFC-113及び水素の合計含有率は、例えば50体積%以上が挙げられ、生産量の観点から、60体積%以上が好ましく、70体積%以上がより好ましく、80体積%以上がさらに好ましく、90体積%以上が特に好ましく、95体積%以上が極めて好ましい。
 以下、原料組成物に含有される各成分について説明する。
<Raw material composition>
The raw material composition refers to all components supplied to a reactor. The raw material composition contains at least the raw materials CFC-113 and hydrogen, as well as water. When other components such as a diluent are supplied to a reactor as needed, the other components are also contained in the raw material composition.
The total content of CFC-113 and hydrogen in the entire raw material composition is, for example, 50% by volume or more, and from the viewpoint of production amount, is preferably 60% by volume or more, more preferably 70% by volume or more, even more preferably 80% by volume or more, particularly preferably 90% by volume or more, and extremely preferably 95% by volume or more.
Each component contained in the raw material composition will be described below.

(水)
 本実施形態では、原料組成物の水含有率が200質量ppm以下である。反応器内において気相の原料組成物を触媒に接触させる場合、原料組成物の水含有率は、反応器内に供給されるガスの全成分の合計量に対する水の含有率を意味する。
(water)
In this embodiment, the water content of the raw material composition is 200 ppm by mass or less. When the gaseous raw material composition is brought into contact with the catalyst in a reactor, the water content of the raw material composition means the content of water relative to the total amount of all components of the gas supplied into the reactor.

 水含有率は、カールフィッシャー水分測定器を使用し、JIS K 0068:2001に準拠してカールフィッシャー法により測定する。
 反応器内において原料組成物を触媒に接触させる場合、水含有率の測定は、反応器内に供給され触媒に接触する前の原料組成物の一部を取り出した試料に対して行ってもよく、反応器内に供給する前の試料に対して行ってもよい。CFC-113と水素とを別々に反応器へ供給する場合は、供給前のCFC-113の水含有率と、供給前の水素ガスの水含有率と、をそれぞれ測定し、供給比を考慮して、反応器内における原料組成物の水含有率を算出してもよい。
The water content is measured by the Karl Fischer method in accordance with JIS K 0068:2001 using a Karl Fischer moisture meter.
When the raw material composition is brought into contact with the catalyst in the reactor, the water content may be measured on a sample obtained by taking a part of the raw material composition before it is supplied to the reactor and brought into contact with the catalyst, or on a sample before it is supplied to the reactor. When CFC-113 and hydrogen are supplied separately to the reactor, the water content of the CFC-113 before supply and the water content of the hydrogen gas before supply may be measured separately, and the water content of the raw material composition in the reactor may be calculated taking into account the supply ratio.

 原料組成物の水含有率は、200質量ppm以下であり、100質量ppm以下が好ましく、50質量ppm以下がより好ましく、15質量ppm以下がさらに好ましく、10質量ppm以下が特に好ましく、5質量ppm以下が極めて好ましい。原料組成物の水含有率の下限値は特に限定されるものではない。原料組成物の水含有率は、0.1質量ppm以上であってもよく、0.5質量ppm以上であってもよく、1質量ppm以上であってもよい。
 原料組成物の水含有率を前記範囲に制御する方法は特に制限されず、モレキュラーシーブ、活性アルミナ等の乾燥剤を用いる方法などが挙げられる。乾燥剤を用いる方法では、乾燥剤を接触させたCFC-113及び乾燥剤を接触させた水素の少なくとも一方を用いて原料組成物を調製してもよく、調製した後の原料組成物に乾燥剤を接触させてもよい。
The water content of the raw material composition is 200 ppm by mass or less, preferably 100 ppm by mass or less, more preferably 50 ppm by mass or less, even more preferably 15 ppm by mass or less, particularly preferably 10 ppm by mass or less, and extremely preferably 5 ppm by mass or less. The lower limit of the water content of the raw material composition is not particularly limited. The water content of the raw material composition may be 0.1 ppm by mass or more, 0.5 ppm by mass or more, or 1 ppm by mass or more.
The method for controlling the water content of the raw material composition within the above range is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method using a desiccant such as a molecular sieve, activated alumina, etc. In the method using a desiccant, the raw material composition may be prepared using at least one of CFC-113 contacted with a desiccant and hydrogen contacted with a desiccant, or the prepared raw material composition may be contacted with the desiccant.

(CFC-113及び水素)
 CFC-113は、例えば、触媒の存在下でテトラクロロエチレンをフッ化水素によりフッ素化することで得られる。
 原料組成物全体に対するCFC-113の含有率としては、例えば、9~91体積%が挙げられ、CTFE及びHFO-1123の生産性の点から、16~67体積%が好ましく、20~50体積%がより好ましい。
 原料組成物全体に対する水素の含有率としては、例えば、9~91体積%が挙げられ、CTFE及びHFO-1123の生産性の点から、33~84体積%が好ましく、50~80体積%がより好ましい。
(CFC-113 and hydrogen)
CFC-113 can be obtained, for example, by fluorinating tetrachloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride in the presence of a catalyst.
The content of CFC-113 in the entire raw material composition is, for example, 9 to 91% by volume, and from the viewpoint of productivity of CTFE and HFO-1123, it is preferably 16 to 67% by volume, and more preferably 20 to 50% by volume.
The hydrogen content relative to the entire raw material composition is, for example, 9 to 91% by volume, and from the viewpoint of productivity of CTFE and HFO-1123, is preferably 33 to 84% by volume, and more preferably 50 to 80% by volume.

 原料組成物における水素の含有量は、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率を向上させる観点から、CFC-113の含有量に対し、体積基準で、10倍以下が好ましく、5.0倍以下がより好ましく、4.0倍以下がさらに好ましい。つまり、CFC-113の含有量に対する水素の含有量の体積比(H/CFC-113)は、10以下が好ましく、5.0以下がより好ましく、4.0以下がさらに好ましい。体積比(H/CFC-113)が上記上限値以下であることにより、CTFEと共沸する1,1,2-トリフルオロエタンの生成が抑制され、目的化合物と副生成物との分離性が向上し、純度の高い目的化合物が得られやすくなると推測される。
 体積比(H/CFC-113)は、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率を向上させる観点から、0.1以上が好ましく、0.5以上がより好ましく、1.0以上がさらに好ましい。体積比(H/CFC-113)は、0.1~10が好ましく、0.5~5.0がより好ましく、1.0~4.0がさらに好ましい。
From the viewpoint of improving the total selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123, the hydrogen content in the raw material composition is preferably not more than 10 times, more preferably not more than 5.0 times, and even more preferably not more than 4.0 times, the CFC-113 content on a volume basis. In other words, the volume ratio of the hydrogen content to the CFC-113 content (H 2 /CFC-113) is preferably not more than 10, more preferably not more than 5.0, and even more preferably not more than 4.0. It is presumed that by having the volume ratio (H 2 /CFC-113) be equal to or less than the above upper limit, the production of 1,1,2-trifluoroethane, which forms an azeotrope with CTFE, is suppressed, the separability of the target compound and by-products is improved, and the target compound with a high purity is more easily obtained.
From the viewpoint of improving the total selectivity of CTFE and HFO-1123, the volume ratio (H 2 /CFC-113) is preferably 0.1 or more, more preferably 0.5 or more, and even more preferably 1.0 or more. The volume ratio (H 2 /CFC-113) is preferably 0.1 to 10, more preferably 0.5 to 5.0, and even more preferably 1.0 to 4.0.

(希釈剤)
 原料組成物は、必要に応じて希釈剤を含有してもよく、含有しなくてもよい。
 原料組成物が希釈剤を含有する場合、原料組成物の水含有率は、希釈剤も含めた原料組成物全体に対する水の含有率を意味する。
 希釈剤として、具体的には、窒素、アルゴン、ヘリウム、二酸化炭素等が挙げられる。希釈剤は、これらのうち1種を単独で用いてもよく、2種以上を併用してもよい。低反応性の観点から、希釈剤は、これらの中でも、窒素、アルゴン、及びヘリウムが好ましい。
(Diluent)
The raw material composition may or may not contain a diluent, as required.
When the raw material composition contains a diluent, the water content of the raw material composition means the water content relative to the entire raw material composition including the diluent.
Specific examples of the diluent include nitrogen, argon, helium, and carbon dioxide. The diluent may be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of low reactivity, nitrogen, argon, and helium are preferred.

 希釈剤は、例えば、原料の濃度を低く調整することで反応熱による影響を低減する等の目的で用いられる。本実施形態では、発生する反応熱が少ないため、希釈剤を用いなくてもCTFE及びHFO-1123の高い合計選択率が得られる。また、希釈剤を用いない場合は、生成したCTFE及びHFO-1123から希釈剤を分離する工程が不要になるという利点もある。
 原料組成物全体に対する希釈剤の含有率は、5.0体積%以下が好ましく、4.0体積%以下がより好ましく、3.0体積%以下がさらに好ましい。
The diluent is used for the purpose of, for example, reducing the influence of reaction heat by adjusting the concentration of the raw material to a low level. In this embodiment, since the amount of reaction heat generated is small, a high total selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123 can be obtained even without using a diluent. In addition, when a diluent is not used, there is also the advantage that a step of separating the diluent from the produced CTFE and HFO-1123 is not required.
The content of the diluent in the entire raw material composition is preferably 5.0% by volume or less, more preferably 4.0% by volume or less, and even more preferably 3.0% by volume or less.

(前反応組成物)
 原料組成物は、CFC-113と水素とを反応させてCTFE及びHFO-1123を生成させ、CFC-113とCTFEとHFO-1123と塩化水素とを含有する第1の組成物を得る前反応工程と、第1の組成物に水を接触させて塩化水素の少なくとも一部を除去することで水を含有する第2の組成物を得る水接触工程と、第2の組成物から水の少なくとも一部を除去する水除去工程と、第2の組成物からCTFE及びHFO-1123の少なくとも一部を分離する生成物分離工程と、を少なくとも経て得られた、CFC-113を含有する前反応組成物を含んでもよい。つまり、原料組成物は、前反応工程において反応せずに残ったCFC-113を含んでもよい。
Pre-reaction Composition
The feedstock composition may comprise a pre-reacted composition containing CFC-113 obtained through at least the following steps: a pre-reacted step of reacting CFC-113 with hydrogen to produce CTFE and HFO-1123 and obtain a first composition containing CFC-113, CTFE, HFO-1123, and hydrogen chloride, a water-contacting step of contacting the first composition with water to remove at least a portion of the hydrogen chloride to obtain a second composition containing water, a water-removing step of removing at least a portion of the water from the second composition, and a product-separating step of separating at least a portion of the CTFE and HFO-1123 from the second composition. In other words, the feedstock composition may comprise CFC-113 that remains unreacted in the pre-reacted step.

 前反応工程では、CFC-113と水素との反応により塩化水素が脱離する。そのため、第1の組成物が塩化水素を含有する。つまり、第1の組成物は、例えば、前反応工程において反応せずに残ったCFC-113と、前反応工程によって生成したCTFE、HFO-1123、及び塩化水素と、を含有する。
 そこで、第1の組成物から塩化水素を除去する目的で、第1の組成物に水を接触させる水接触工程を施す。
In the pre-reaction step, hydrogen chloride is released by the reaction between CFC-113 and hydrogen. Therefore, the first composition contains hydrogen chloride. That is, the first composition contains, for example, CFC-113 that remains unreacted in the pre-reaction step, and CTFE, HFO-1123, and hydrogen chloride produced in the pre-reaction step.
Therefore, in order to remove hydrogen chloride from the first composition, a water contact step is carried out in which the first composition is brought into contact with water.

 水接触工程では、例えば、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、炭酸水素カリウム、炭酸カリウム、アンモニア等の塩基性化合物の水溶液に第1の組成物を通過させるアルカリ洗浄;イオン交換水等の水に第1の組成物を通過させる水洗浄;などを行うことで、第1の組成物に水を接触させる。水接触工程では、アルカリ洗浄及び水洗浄の少なくとも一方を行うことが好ましく、アルカリ洗浄及び水洗浄の両方を行うことがより好ましい。水接触工程においてアルカリ洗浄及び水洗浄の両方を行う場合、いずれを先に行ってもよく、アルカリ洗浄の後に水洗浄を行うことがさらに好ましい。
 第1の組成物が水接触工程を経ることで、第1の組成物よりも塩化水素の含有率が低く、かつ、水含有率が高い、第2の組成物が得られる。
In the water contact step, the first composition is brought into contact with water by, for example, alkaline washing in which the first composition is passed through an aqueous solution of a basic compound such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, potassium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, or ammonia; or water washing in which the first composition is passed through water such as ion-exchanged water. In the water contact step, it is preferable to perform at least one of alkaline washing and water washing, and it is more preferable to perform both alkaline washing and water washing. When both alkaline washing and water washing are performed in the water contact step, either one may be performed first, and it is more preferable to perform water washing after alkaline washing.
By subjecting the first composition to the water contact step, a second composition is obtained which has a lower hydrogen chloride content and a higher water content than the first composition.

 第2の組成物は、例えば、前反応工程において反応せずに残ったCFC-113と、前反応工程によって生成したCTFE及びHFO-1123と、水接触工程において混入した水と、を含有する。
 そこで、第2の組成物に対し、水の少なくとも一部を除去する水除去工程と、CTFE及びHFO-1123の少なくとも一部を分離する生成物分離工程と、を施す。水除去工程及び生成物分離工程は、同時に行ってもよく、別々に行ってもよい。水除去工程及び生成物分離工程を別々に行う場合、水除去工程の後に生成物分離工程を行ってもよく、生成物分離工程の後に水除去工程を行ってもよい。
The second composition contains, for example, CFC-113 that remains unreacted in the pre-reaction step, CTFE and HFO-1123 produced in the pre-reaction step, and water that is mixed in in the water-contacting step.
Therefore, the second composition is subjected to a water removal step of removing at least a portion of the water, and a product separation step of separating at least a portion of the CTFE and HFO-1123. The water removal step and the product separation step may be carried out simultaneously or separately. When the water removal step and the product separation step are carried out separately, the product separation step may be carried out after the water removal step, or the water removal step may be carried out after the product separation step.

 水除去工程では、例えば、モレキュラーシーブ等の乾燥剤に第2の組成物を接触させることで、第2の組成物から水の少なくとも一部を除去する。水除去工程では、第2の組成物に含まれる水の少なくとも一部を除去すればよいが、原料化合物の水含有率を前記範囲とする観点から、できるだけ多くの水を第2の組成物から除去することが好ましい。
 生成物分離工程では、例えば蒸留等により、第2の組成物からCTFE及びHFO-1123の少なくとも一部を分離する。生成物分離工程では、第2の組成物に含まれるCTFE及びHFO-1123の少なくとも一部を分離すればよいが、目的化合物を効率的に得る観点から、できるだけ多くのCTFE及びHFO-1123を第2の組成物から分離することが好ましい。
In the water removal step, at least a portion of the water is removed from the second composition by, for example, contacting the second composition with a desiccant such as a molecular sieve. In the water removal step, it is sufficient to remove at least a portion of the water contained in the second composition, but from the viewpoint of keeping the water content of the raw material compound within the above range, it is preferable to remove as much water as possible from the second composition.
In the product separation step, at least a portion of the CTFE and HFO-1123 is separated from the second composition by, for example, distillation, etc. In the product separation step, it is sufficient to separate at least a portion of the CTFE and HFO-1123 contained in the second composition, but from the viewpoint of efficiently obtaining the target compound, it is preferable to separate as much of the CTFE and HFO-1123 as possible from the second composition.

 第2の組成物が水除去工程及び生成物分離工程を経ることで、少なくともCFC-113を含有し、第2の組成物よりも水、CTFE、及びHFO-1123の含有率が低い、前反応組成物が得られる。
 前反応組成物は、CFC-113からなる組成物であってもよく、生成物分離工程において分離しきれなかったCTFE及びHFO-1123の少なくとも一方を含有してもよい。また、前反応組成物は、原料化合物の水含有率が前記範囲内となる程度であれば、水除去工程において除去しきれなかった微量の水を含有してもよい。
 第1の組成物が前反応工程において反応せずに残った水素を含有する場合、前反応組成物は、水素を含有するものであってもよく、水素の少なくとも一部が除去されたものであってもよい。また、第1の組成物が希釈剤を含有する場合、前反応組成物は、希釈剤を含有するものであってもよく、希釈剤の少なくとも一部が除去されたものであってもよい。
 以上のようにして得られた前反応組成物は、例えば、水素と混合され、原料組成物として用いられる。
The second composition is subjected to a water removal step and a product separation step to obtain a pre-reacted composition containing at least CFC-113 and having lower contents of water, CTFE, and HFO-1123 than the second composition.
The pre-reaction composition may be a composition consisting of CFC-113, or may contain at least one of CTFE and HFO-1123 that was not completely separated in the product separation step. Furthermore, the pre-reaction composition may contain a trace amount of water that was not completely removed in the water removal step, so long as the water content of the raw material compounds is within the above range.
When the first composition contains hydrogen that remains unreacted in the pre-reaction step, the pre-reaction composition may contain hydrogen or may be one from which at least a portion of the hydrogen has been removed. When the first composition contains a diluent, the pre-reaction composition may contain the diluent or may be one from which at least a portion of the diluent has been removed.
The pre-reaction composition obtained as described above is mixed with, for example, hydrogen and used as a raw material composition.

<触媒>
 触媒としては、少なくとも1種以上の金属元素を含有する金属触媒が挙げられる。金属元素としては、Pd、Pt、Ni、Ir、Ru、Rh、Os、Cu、Fe、Au、Ag、Zn、Sn、Co等が挙げられる。触媒は、金属元素を1種のみ含有してもよく、2種以上含有してもよい。
 用いる触媒の量は、原料であるCFC-113及び水素の反応器への供給量等に応じて設定される。
<Catalyst>
The catalyst may be a metal catalyst containing at least one metal element, such as Pd, Pt, Ni, Ir, Ru, Rh, Os, Cu, Fe, Au, Ag, Zn, Sn, or Co. The catalyst may contain only one metal element or two or more metal elements.
The amount of catalyst used is determined depending on the amounts of CFC-113 and hydrogen that are the raw materials to be fed to the reactor.

 触媒は、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率を向上させる観点から、Pd、Pt、Ni、Ir、Ru、Rh、及びOsからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種である第一の金属元素と、Cu、Fe、Au、Ag、Zn、Sn、及びCoからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種である第二の金属元素と、を含有する触媒を含むことが好ましい。以下、上記第一の金属元素と上記第二の金属元素とを含有する触媒を「特定触媒」ともいう。
 第一の金属元素と第二の金属元素とは、それぞれ個別に存在していてもよく、合金として存在していてもよい。
 特定触媒は、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率を向上させる観点から、Pd又はPtである第一の金属元素と、Cuである第二の金属元素と、を含有することが好ましい。つまり、触媒は、特定触媒として、Pd-Cu触媒及びPt-Cu触媒の少なくとも一方を含むことが好ましい。
From the viewpoint of improving the total selectivity of CTFE and HFO-1123, the catalyst preferably contains a catalyst containing a first metal element which is at least one selected from the group consisting of Pd, Pt, Ni, Ir, Ru, Rh, and Os, and a second metal element which is at least one selected from the group consisting of Cu, Fe, Au, Ag, Zn, Sn, and Co. Hereinafter, a catalyst containing the first metal element and the second metal element will also be referred to as a "specific catalyst."
The first metal element and the second metal element may exist individually or as an alloy.
From the viewpoint of improving the total selectivity of CTFE and HFO-1123, the specific catalyst preferably contains a first metal element which is Pd or Pt and a second metal element which is Cu. That is, the catalyst preferably contains at least one of a Pd—Cu catalyst and a Pt—Cu catalyst as the specific catalyst.

 特定触媒は、水素ガスに対する親和性が相対的に高い第一の金属元素と、水素ガスに対する親和性が相対的に低い第二の金属元素と、を含有する。特定触媒を用いた触媒反応では、上記水素ガスに対する親和性の違いを利用してCFC-113と水素との反応性が制御されると推測される。そのため、特定触媒の表面に水が吸着すると、触媒表面上の反応性が変化し、副生成物が生成することが考えられる。一方、本実施形態では、原料組成物の水含有率が前記範囲であるため、特定触媒の表面への水の吸着が抑制されることで副生成物の生成も抑制され、CTFE及びHFO-1123の高い合計選択率が得られると推測される。 The specific catalyst contains a first metal element with a relatively high affinity for hydrogen gas and a second metal element with a relatively low affinity for hydrogen gas. It is believed that in catalytic reactions using the specific catalyst, the difference in affinity for hydrogen gas is utilized to control the reactivity between CFC-113 and hydrogen. Therefore, when water is adsorbed onto the surface of the specific catalyst, the reactivity on the catalyst surface changes, resulting in the production of by-products. In contrast, in this embodiment, because the water content of the raw material composition is within the above-mentioned range, it is believed that the adsorption of water onto the surface of the specific catalyst is suppressed, thereby suppressing the production of by-products, resulting in a high combined selectivity for CTFE and HFO-1123.

 特定触媒は、必要に応じて、第一の金属元素及び第二の金属元素以外のその他の金属成分を含有してもよい。その他の金属成分としては、Bi、Al等が挙げられる。その他の金属成分の含有率は、CTFE及びHFO-1123の合計選択率を向上させる観点から、特定触媒全体に対し、それぞれ0.05質量%未満であることが好ましく、合計で0.5質量%未満であることがより好ましい。

The form of the catalyst is not particularly limited, and may be in the form of a powder, pellets, or spheres.
The catalyst may be supported on a carrier. The carrier preferably contains activated carbon, and more preferably consists of activated carbon.

That is, in each raw material composition, the volume ratio of the hydrogen content to the CFC-113 content (H 2 /CFC-113) was 4. No diluent was used.
The water content of the raw material composition in each example was measured using Karl Fischer (coulometric method) by the method described above, and the values were shown in Table 1. The water content of the raw material composition was adjusted, as necessary, for each of CFC-113 and hydrogen, by removing water by passing it through a molecular sieve or by adding water by passing it through pure water.
