    Abstract

    The thermal dehydrochlorination CF2ClCH3[RIGHTWARDS ARROW]CF2(DOUBLEBOND)CH2+HCl has been studied in a static system between 597 and 664 K in the presence of CCl4, C2Cl6, CF2(DOUBLEBOND)CH2, HCl, and CF3CH3. A kinetic radical and molecular reaction model has been developed. In addition to describing earlier results on the acceleration of the pyrolysis by CCl4 and the further acceleration by HCl, this model describes quantitatively up to conversions of 20% (i) the dependence of the catalytic effect of CCl4 at low concentrations, (ii) the stronger catalytic effect of C2Cl6, and (iii) the inhibitory effect of added CF2CH2 and CF3CH3 when CCl4 is used as a catalyst.
