Abstract:
Alternatives to chlorofluorocarbons are provided by the inventive process for synthesizing fluorine-containing products RCFbHc+a-1Hf+d-1FeCR' which may optionally be carried out without the isolation of any intermediate in a single reactor or a series of reactors. The process comprises combining chlorine-containing reactants RCClaFbHc and R'CCldFeHf in the presence of hydrogen and at least one catalyst. R and R' are chosen from the group consisting of halogens, halogenated hydrocarbons, and hydrocarbons, and at least one of R and R' contains fluorine, a and d are integers from 1 to 3, b, c, e, and f are integers from 0 to 2, the sum of a, b, and c is 3, and the sum of d, e, and f is 3, and further treating the coupled products in the presence of an optional catalyst with hydrogen or a fluorinating agent.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus removes carbon monoxide from hydrogen rich fuel by means of a catalytic material that preferentially adsorbs carbon monoxide. The catalytic material is regenerated by an oxidizing agent that reacts with the carbon monoxide absorbed by the catalytic material. The reaction is initiated by an electrical current is generated either galvanically or electrolytically through the catalytic material. The carbon monoxide free gas thus produced may then be passed into a fuel cell in order to provide D.C. power.
