摘要 |
The invention provides a process for the production of halocarbon compounds, particularly fluorocarbons, in which fluorine is chemically reacted with a small excess of finely divided carbon and the reaction flame heated by means of electric discharge to the temperature necessary for precursor release to obtain an appropriate gaseous mixture of reactive fluorine and carbon precursors and quenching the mixture to obtain a predetermined fluorocarbon. The electric discharge is effected between cortex electrodes in a graphite lined chamber with the carbon fed as a shroud around a central fluorine feed to obtain the chemical reaction. |
