Abstract:
A method of producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) includes providing a feedstock comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI), passing the feedstock through at least one column charged with carbonaceous materials to remove hydrogen iodide (HI), hydrogen triiodide (HI3) and iodine (I2) from the feedstock, and providing the feedstock to a reactor to produce a trifluoroiodomethane product stream. Another method of producing trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) includes providing a feedstock comprising trifluoroacetyl iodide (TFAI) to a reactor to produce a trifluoroiodomethane product stream, and passing the trifluoroiodomethane product stream from the reactor through at least one column charged with carbonaceous materials to remove hydrogen iodide (HI), hydrogen triiodide (HI3) and iodine (I2) from the trifluoroiodomethane product stream.

Abstract:
To address the problem of insufficient biodegradability of perfluorinated surfactants, the present invention provides biodegradable fluorosurfactants derived from olefins having —CHR, —CHRf, —CHF, and/or —CH2 groups, where R is an alkyl group and Rf is a perfluoro or fluroroalkyl group. Preferably, the —CHR, —CHRf, —CHF, and/or —CH2 groups are contained within partially fluorinated alkenes.
Abstract:
Object: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing, with a high yield, a fluorinated organic compound, the fluorinated organic compound having not been produced with a sufficient yield by a conventional method for producing a fluorinated organic compound using a fluorinating agent containing IF5-pyridine-HF alone. Another object of the present invention is to provide a fluorinating reagent.Means for achieving the object: A method for producing a fluorinated organic compound comprising step A of fluorinating an organic compound by bringing the organic compound into contact with (1) IF5-pyridine-HF and (2) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of amine hydrogen fluorides, XaF (wherein Xa represents hydrogen, potassium, sodium, or lithium), oxidizers, and reducing agents.
