Abstract:
Described herein is a method of purifying a product and recycling water comprising the following steps: (i) providing a crude product comprising at least one low molecular weight fluoroorganic compounds wherein the low molecular weight fluoroorganic compounds is partially fluorinated and comprises a polar group and/or a reactive group; (ii) extracting the impurity from the product using water to form an extract, (iii) contacting the extract with a radical-forming process to degrade the low molecular weight fluoroorganic compounds into carbon dioxide, water, fluorine ions, and optionally cations; and (iv) using the water from step (iii) in step (ii)
Abstract:
Described herein are three methods for making halogenated fluorinated ether-containing compounds using a fluorinated olefin or hexafluoropropylene oxide.
Abstract:
Described herein is method of making a halogenated partially fluorinated compound, comprising: (a) providing a compound having the following structure of formula (I): Rf—CF═CXY wherein X and Y are independently selected from F and Cl; wherein Rf is a fluorinated monovalent group comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms; (b) contacting the compound with at least one of (i) an iodine or bromine containing salt in the presence of an acid; and (ii) aqueous solution of HZ wherein Z is selected from I and Br to form the halogenated partially fluorinated compound of the formula (II): R′f—CFH—CXYZ wherein X and Y are independently selected from F and Cl; Z is selected from I and Br; and R′f is a fluorinated monovalent group comprising 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
