Low Temperature Fluorination of Aerosol and Condensed Phase Sol Suspensions of Hydrocarbons Utilizing Elemental Fluorine.

Abstract

This report outlines the development of a new concept in low temperature direct fluorination. This method involves the reaction of gaseous elemental fluorine upon a solid-phase particulate aerosol at temperatures below room temperature. The rationale for the development of this method is that it is a flow process but preserves the low temperature, solid phase fluorination features of the low temperature gradient reactor system developed by Adcock, Marashin and Lagow while eliminating the inherent reliance on low temperature mass transport which results in long reaction times and the essentially batch nature of gradient reactor process.
