Abstract:
Embodiments of methods and apparatuses for purifying phosphorus pentafluoride are provided. The method comprises the step of contacting a feed stream comprising phosphorus pentafluoride and impurities with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. The anhydrous hydrogen fluoride reduces the impurities from the feed stream to form an impurity-depleted phosphorus pentafluoride effluent.
Abstract:
Processes and systems for the production of phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5) through continuous fluorination of phosphorus are provided herein. A phosphorus feed stream and a fluorine feed stream are provided to a reactor, wherein they are reacted in a gas-gas or liquid-gas reaction to produce phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5). The phosphorus feed can be derived from white phosphorus or yellow phosphorus, and can be provided to the reactor as a liquid or a vapor. The fluorine can be provided to the reactor as a vapor, and preferably comprises elemental fluorine gas.
Abstract:
Disclosed are cover gas compositions comprising fluoroolefins for impeding the oxidation of molten nonferrous metals and alloys, such as magnesium. The cover gas compositions typically comprise C2-C6 fluoroolefins. Preferably the compounds of the cover gas composition are selected from tetrafluoropropene, pentafluoropropene and fluorochloropropene.
Abstract:
Provided are azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of PF5 and HF, and methods of making such compositions. Such azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions can be used, for example, in processes for producing LiPF6.
Abstract:
A dielectric gaseous compound which exhibits the following properties: a boiling point in the range between about -20°C to about -273°C; non-ozone depleting; a GWP less than about 22,200; chemical stability, as measured by a negative standard enthalpy of formation (dHf
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions that are intimate mixtures of hydrogen fluoride and a polyacrylate-polyacrylamide cross-linked copolymer. The compositions of the invention are less hazardous and, therefore, more conveniently stored, transported, and handled in comparison to pure hydrogen fluoride. Further, the hydrogen fluoride may be readily recovered from the compositions of the invention for use.
Abstract:
Fluorination reactions in which an organic compound to be fluorinated is contacted with elemental fluorine and HF is produced as a byproduct are disclosed, wherein the elemental fluorine is contacted, with the organic compound in the presence of a fluoride- adsorbing composition so that the amount of HF or another hydrogen-containing byproduct is reduced or eliminated. Reactor embodiments for the fluorination reactions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The preparation of halosilanes having mixed-halogen substituents is described comprising providing an aryl-halo-silane having one more first halogens and one or more aryl groups, and substituting one or more of said aryl groups of said aryl-halo-silane with a second halogen having an atomic number greater than that of said first halogen.
