To provide a method for purifying tetrafluoroethylene by removing, from tetrafluoroethylene containing a polymerization inhibitor, the polymerization inhibitor by adsorption.A method of bringing tetrafluoroethylene containing a polymerization inhibitor into contact with a silica gel containing a metal salt in an amount of from 250 to 100,000 mass ppm as calculated as metal atoms to remove the polymerization inhibitor by adsorption, and the metal salt is preferably a salt of a metal of Group 3 to 13 of the Periodic Table, more preferably a salt of a metal of Group 8 to 10 of the Periodic Table. For example, as the metal salt, a salt of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum may be used.
摘要:
A multilayer laminate containing a laminate (I)/(II) formed by directly bonding by means of thermal lamination or the like, a layer (I) made of a fluororesin (A) with a functional group (a) and a layer (II) made of a thermoplastic resin (B) with a functional group (b) capable of forming a chemical bond by reacting with the functional group (a) of the fluororesin, wherein the fluororesin (A) has a low melting point of from 120 to 230° C. The laminate may, for example, be a multiplayer laminate containing a layer obtained by directly laminating a layer (I) made of a fluororesin (A) containing an acid anhydride residue (for example, a tetrafluoroethylene/ethylene/hexafluoropropylene/(perfluorobutyl)ethylene)/itaconic anhydride copolymer) and a layer (II) made of an amine-modified thermoplastic resin (B) (for example, a polyurethane modified with a silane coupling agent containing an amino group). The laminate is excellent in interlayer adhesion and productivity.
