Activities for the hydrolysis of CCl 2 F 2 (CFC-12) on various metal sulfates were investigated in this study. It was found that Zr(SO 4 ) 2 exhibits a high activity for CFC-12 decomposition and a high selectivity to CO 2 . On the other hand, the metal sulfates Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , La 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , Ce 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , and Cr 2 (SO 4 ) 3 were also active for the hydrolysis of CFC-12. However, the activities for CFC-12 decomposition of MnSO 4 , CoSO 4 , and MgSO 4 were low, and decomposition of CFC-12 hardly occurred on the metal sulfates CaSO 4 , SrSO 4 , and BaSO 4 . Among the investigated metal sulfates, Zr(SO 4 ) 2 was the most active, and the complete decomposition of CFC-12 was achieved at 598 K. The CFC-12 decomposition rate monotonically increased with increasing CFC-12 partial pressure. On the other hand, CFC-12 conversion became highest at an oxygen content of 18.9 mol % and a H 2 O content of 5 mol %. Therefore, the main reaction on Zr(SO 4 ) 2 for CFC-12 decomposition into CO 2 and HCl and HF is the hydrolysis reaction. The high activity to CFC-12 decomposition on Zr(SO 4 ) 2 was stably sustained over the 40-h period examined. Therefore, the metal sulfate Zr(SO 4 ) 2 is highly active for the hydrolysis of CFC-12 and has sufficient stability against fluorination and/or chlorination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
