C2F4 - Uses and synthesis methods
application
tetrafluoroethylene is an important raw material for the manufacture of polytetrafluoroethylene plastics. This plastic is resistant to high temperature and corrosion; fluororubber and fluororesin monomers; raw materials for fire extinguishing agents and fog suppressors; raw materials for other fluorides.
production method
1. difluorochloromethane is gasified, preheated and passed into the cracking furnace, and the cracking gas containing tetrafluoroethylene monomer is produced by thermal cracking. the finished product is finally rectified by water washing, alkali washing, compression, freezing dehydration, drying, fractionation and other processes.
2. The preparation of tetrafluoroethylene is obtained by thermal cracking of difluorochloromethane. Reaction equation: 2 CHClF2 & rarr;CF2 = CF2 2HCl
platinum-lined tube is used as the cracking reaction tube, superheated water vapor is used as the diluent, and the cracking is carried out at 600~900 ℃ to obtain tetrafluoroethylene. After cooling and separation, the hydrogen chloride is removed by water washing and alkali washing, and then pressurized rectification at -20 ℃ and 2.02 MPa, a polymer grade pure product with a content of more than 99.9% can be obtained.
