Abstract:
The present invention relates to the pyrolysis of hydrochlorofluorocarbons to form fluoromonomers such as tetrafluoroethylene, the pyrolysis being carried out in a reaction zone lined with nickel and mechanically supported by a jacket of other corrosion resistant metal, the nickel lining providing an improved yield of valuable reaction products.
Abstract:
A process for separating carbon dioxide from an unsaturated fluorinated compound carbon dioxide mixture comprising contacting the unsaturated fluorinated compound carbon dioxide mixture with a semipermeable membrane to form at least one exit stream having an increased concentration of carbon dioxide and at least one other exit stream having a reduced concentration of carbon dioxide.
Abstract:
The process produces a fluorinated olefin from a fluorinated copolymer having at least one of sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, or salts thereof. The process includes heating the fluorinated copolymer at a first temperature not more than 450 ̊ C to decompose at least one of the sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, or salts thereof to form a partially pyrolyzed intermediate and subsequently heating the partially pyrolyzed intermediate at a second temperature of at least 550 ˚C to produce the fluorinated olefin.
Abstract:
A gold-lined pyrolysis reactor is used to pyrolyze compounds to form fluoroolefins like tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene in high yield, with minimum to no formation of perfluoroisobutylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, coke, salts, or polymer.
Abstract:
A method for producing a tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) mixture containing TFE at a higher concentration as an objective mixture from a raw material mixture (10) containing TFE, a component having a lower boiling point than that of TFE and a component having a higher boiling point than that of TFE, characterized in that (1) the raw material is subjected to a preLIMINARY distillation treatment (12), to produce (a) a first fraction (15) containing at least a part of the component having a higher boiling point, and (b) a second fraction (14) comprising TFE and the component having a lower boiling point and being a residue, and then (2) the second fraction is subjected to a main distillation treatment (16), to produce (c) a third fraction (20) formed by distilling out the component having a lower boiling point, and (d) a fourth fraction (18) as the objective mixture comprising TFE and being a residue. The method can be employed for recovering TFE with a reduced energy.
Abstract:
A method of treating a fluorocarbon feedstock includes heating, by means of radio frequency induction, a heating zone to a high temperature, allowing a fluorocarbon feedstock, comprising at least one fluorocarbon compound, to heat up in the heating zone so that the fluorocarbon compound dissociates into at least one fluorocarbon precursor or reactive species, and cooling the fluorocarbon precursor or reactive species, thereby forming, from the fluorocarbon precursor or reactive species, at least one more desired fluorocarbon compound.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for producing perfluoroolefins of the formula CF(R f)=CF2, where R f is F or CF3. The process involves (a) perfluorinating cyclobutanes of formula (I), where R f is F or CF3, and where one R is H and the other R is H when R f is F and is CH3 when R f is CF3, by the Simons electrochemical fluorination process in an electrochemical cell in a solution of anhydrous liquid hydrogen fluoride under temperature and pressure conditions sufficient to replace all hydrogens in the cyclobutane of the above formula with fluorine; and (b) cracking the perfluorinated cyclobutane. A disclosed cracking involves contacting the perfluorinated cyclobutanes with carbon or a conductive metal, which is heated by induction heating to a temperature sufficient to crack the perfluorinated cyclobutanes.
