Method for storing tetrafluoropropene and container for storing tetrafluoropropene
To provide a method for stably storing tetrafluoropropene filled in a container for e.g. storage or transportation, without occurrence of reaction such as polymerization. A method for storing tetrafluoropropene in a gaseous-liquid state composed of a gas phase and a liquid phase in a closed container, wherein the oxygen concentration (content) in the above gas phase is adjusted to at least 3 vol ppm and less than 3,000 vol ppm at a temperature of 25° C.
1. A closed container, containing tetrafluoropropene in a gaseous-liquid state comprising a gas phase and a liquid phase,
wherein
an oxygen concentration in the gas phase is at least 3 vol ppm and less than 3,000 vol ppm at a temperature of 25° C., and
the tetrafluoropropene comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, trans-1,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, cis-1,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1, 1,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, 1, 1,2,3-tetrafluoropropene, and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene.
2. The closed container according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen concentration in the gas phase is at least 3 vol ppm and less than 1,000 vol ppm at a temperature of 25° C.
3. The closed container according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen concentration in the gas phase is at least 5 vol ppm and less than 3,000 vol ppm at a temperature of 25° C.
4. The closed container according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen concentration in the gas phase is at least 5 vol ppm and less than 1,000 vol ppm at a temperature of 25° C.
