Abstract

Abstract The possibility of obtaining real yield improvements in the industrial electrochemical production of perfluoro-octanoic acid is discussed on the basis of recent experimental data obtained using perfluorohexyl acetyl chloride in place of octanoyl chloride as a starting material. In particular, the effect of the non-formation of cyclic by-products on the yield of perfluoro-octanoic acid has been examined, as well as considering previous results ...
