Abstract:
Carbonyl fluoride and carboxylic acid fluorides can be added onto perfluoroalkenes, for example hexafiuoropropene, under unpressurized conditions. Perfiuoroalkylcarboxylic acid fluorides or ketones having a perfluoroalkyl group can thus be prepared in a simple way.
Abstract:
A method of removing hexafluoropropylene dimers ("HFP dimers"), dimer hydrides and other oligomers from a fluid is described. The method comprises heating the fluid to isomerize the HFP dimers to the thermodynamic isomer, and contacting the fluid with a tertiary amine (or salts thereof) to form a hexafluoropropylene dimer - tertiary amine adduct. The method may further comprise the step of separating the dimer adducts from the reaction mixture.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for interrupting non-short circuit currents only, and in particular relates to a disconnector, more particularlyhigh voltage disconnector, or to an earthing switch, more particularly make-proof earthing switch, and further relates to a low voltage circuit breaker. The device comprises at least two contacts (10, 12) movable in relation to each other between a closed state and an open state and defining an arcing region(26),in which an arc (27) is generated during a current interrupting operation and in which an arc-quenching medium (17) comprising an organofluorine compound is present. According to the invention, a counter-arcing component (19) is allocated to the arcing region(26), the counter-arcing component (19) being designed for counteracting the generation of an arc (27) and/or being designed for supporting the extinction of an arc(27).

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for preparing alpha -halogenated ketones from secondary alpha -halogenated alcohols. More particularly, the invention concerns the preparation of alpha -trihalogenated ketones from secondary alpha -trihalogenated alcohols. The method for preparing said alpha -halogenated ketone is characterised in that it consists in oxidising in liquid phase, a secondary alpha -halogenated alcohol, using molecular oxygen or a gas containing same, in the presence of a catalyst based on a metal M1 selected among metals of group 1b and 8 of the periodic system of elements and optionally an activating element.
