Abstract

The gas phase hydrodechlorination of CF3CFCl2to CF3CFH2and CF2Cl2to CF2H2catalyzed by Pd supported on Al2O3, a series of fluorinated Al2O3, and AlF3was investigated. A combination of reaction kinetics investigations and characterization byin situFTIR spectroscopy has been performed. It has been found that for reactions involving CF3CFCl2, all catalysts exhibit a rapid and significant decrease in activity; however, little ...
