Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing tetrafluoromethane, and the method is unlikely to damage a reaction apparatus and can produce tetrafluoromethane safely, inexpensively, and stably. To a raw material liquid (1) containing a reaction inducer and a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by chemical formula CpHqClrFs (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, fluorine gas is introduced to give tetrafluoromethane. The reaction inducer is a hydrocarbon polymer solid at normal temperature and pressure and is reacted with fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas.

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 hydrocarbon polymer solid at normal temperature and pressure and is reacted with the fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas. 2. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 1 , wherein the reaction inducer is contained at a content of more than 0% by mass and not more than 1% by mass where a total content of the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the reaction inducer contained in the raw material liquid is 100% by mass. 3. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 2 , wherein the hydrocarbon polymer is at least one polymer selected from polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and paraffin. 4. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated hydrocarbon is at least one fluorine-containing substance selected from a perfluorocarbon, a fluorohydrocarbon, a chlorofluorocarbon, a chlorofluorohydrocarbon, and a chlorotrifluoroethylene polymer. 5. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 2 , wherein the fluorinated hydrocarbon is at least one fluorine-containing substance selected from a perfluorocarbon, a fluorohydrocarbon, a chlorofluorocarbon, a chlorofluorohydrocarbon, and a chlorotrifluoroethylene polymer. 6. The method for producing tetrafluoromethane according to claim 3 , wherein the fluorinated hydrocarbon is at least one fluorine-containing substance selected from a perfluorocarbon, a fluorohydrocarbon, a chlorofluorocarbon, a chlorofluorohydrocarbon, and a chlorotrifluoroethylene polymer.
