Abstract: Provided is a method that is for producing hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene, discharges small amounts of industrial wastes, and is industrially applicable. The method for producing hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene includes a reaction step of reacting a halogenated butane represented by chemical formula, CF2X1-CFX2-CFX3-CF2X4 (X1, X2, X3, and X4 are each independently a halogen atom other than a fluorine atom) in an organic solvent in the presence of zinc to eliminate the halogen atoms, X1, X2, X3, and X4, other than the fluorine atoms to generate hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene, giving a reaction product containing the hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene, and an aftertreatment step of separating the hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene from the reaction product produced in the reaction step, then adding water to a reaction product residue after the separating, and removing the organic solvent, giving an aqueous solution of zinc halide.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene, and the method can produce hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene at an industrially sufficient level of yield. In a reaction liquid containing a halogenated butane represented by chemical formula, CF2X1—CFX2—CFX3—CF2X4 (X1, X2, X3, and X4 are each independently a halogen atom other than a fluorine atom), zinc, and an organic solvent, a reaction is conducted to eliminate the halogen atoms other than a fluorine atom, X1, X2, X3, and X4, from the halogenated butane, yielding hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene. During the reaction, the concentration of a zinc halide generated by the reaction, in the reaction liquid is not more than the solubility of the zinc halide in the organic solvent.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a highly pure aqueous solution of zinc halide from a mixture containing a zinc halide. The method for producing an aqueous solution of zinc halide includes an addition step of adding water and a hydrogen halide to a mixture containing an alcohol having a carbon number of 3 or less, a zinc halide, and zinc to give a liquid mixture, and a distillation step of distilling the liquid mixture to remove the alcohol having a carbon number of 3 or less from the liquid mixture, giving an aqueous solution of zinc halide.
