Novel mechanochemical method of producing fluorochemicals

Applications: Fluorochemicals in Medicine, agrochemistry, Material Sciences.

Novel solid state approach to the production of fluorochemicals directly from a fluoride source such as the mineral fluorspar.

Features	Benefits
Uses mechanochemical reactions to generate stable mixtures of fluoride salts that can readily be separated	Preparation of value added fluorochemicals using a sustainable and green process Safe to handle mixtures
Does not require the energy intensive treatments and elevated temperatures of current industrial practice	Reduced energy consumption Cheaper method of making fluorochemicals
Avoids hazardous chemicals, such as HF, as an intermediate for fluorochemical production	Safer reactions with reduced human health and environmental risks Avoids complications of handling and disposal of toxic byproducts
Operationally simple process in which byproducts are sequestered into inert and easily removed matter	Less specialised knowledge and equipment needed compared to current methods
