Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fluorine gas is introduced to a raw material liquid containing a reaction inducer and a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by CpHqClrFs (in the formula, p is an integer of 3 to 18, q is an integer of 0 to 3, r is an integer of 0 to 9, and s is an integer of 5 to 30) and having no carbon-carbon unsaturated bond to give tetrafluoromethane. The reaction inducer is a halogen-containing carbon compound liquid at room temperature and pressure and is reacted with fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas. The reaction inducer is contained at a content of more than 0% by mass and not more than 10% by mass when the total content of the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the reaction inducer contained in the raw material liquid is 100% by mass.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing tetrafluoromethane, the method comprising: introducing fluorine gas to a raw material liquid containing a reaction inducer and a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less) and having no carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, wherein the reaction inducer is a halogen-containing carbon compound liquid at room temperature and pressure selected from the group consisting of tetrachlorobutane, tetrafluorobutane, trichlorobutane, chlorobutane, dichlorobutene, chlorobutene, and chlorofluorobutene and is reacted with the fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas, and the reaction inducer is contained at a content of more than 0% by mass and not more than 10% by mass when a total content of the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the reaction inducer contained in the raw material liquid is 100% by mass. 2. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated hydrocarbon is at least one fluorine-containing substance selected from the group consisting of a perfluorocarbon within said chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less), a fluorohydrocarbon within said chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less), a chlorofluorocarbon within said chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less), a chlorofluorohydrocarbon within said chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less), and a chlorotrifluoroethylene polymer within said chemical formula C p H q Cl r F s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less).
