Environmentally friendly and safe method of producing fluorochemicals

Applications: Fluorochemicals in Medicine, Agrochemistry, Material Sciences

A greener method of producing fluorochemicals using organic acids to activate calcium difluoride in water towards fluorination.

Features	Benefits
Can form fluorochemicals from an inorganic fluoride source directly in a solvent, such as water	Does not require the energy intensive treatments and elevated temperatures of current industrial practice
Can be adapted to produce either fluorinated products, precursors thereof or reagents of fluorination or other applications	Can produce high value added fluorochemicals for use in a wide range of industrial, commercial and consumer applications
Does not generate hazardous gaseous chemicals, such as HF, during the fluorination process	Environmentally friendly and safer process for preparation of fluorochemicals Avoids complications of handling and disposal of toxic byproducts
The method can use a variety of activators and solvents to produce fluorinated products	The process doesn’t require specialised equipment The method is highly flexible
