| Research Abstract |
The decomposition of CCl_2F_2 was studied using a thermal argon plasma. Thermodynamic calculations were performed to obtain the informations about the products. In the calculations, 73 species were considered in the four kinds of the reaction systems : C-Cl-F-Ar, C-Cl-F-H-Ar, C-Cl-F-O-Ar, and C-Cl-F-H-O-Ar which respectively corresponded to CCl_2F_2 decomposition without gas addition, with H_2, with O_2, and with H_2 and O_2 or H_2O. The results indicated that the simultaneous addition of H_2 and O_2 was effective for the decomposition of CCl_2F_2 since HF, HCL, and CO_2 or CO were dominant in C-Cl-F-H-O-Ar reaction system.
The numerical calculations were also performed in C-Cl-F-H-O-Ar reaction system with the assumptions of one dimensional flow, 26 species, and 60 step reactions. The results showed as follows : CCl_2F_2 was decomposed rapidly. When the reaction gases of CCl_2F_2, H_2, and O_2 were fed in the ratios 1 : 2 : 1, the product gases consisted of CO, CO_2, H_2, HF, HCl, and Cl_2, which was similar to the results of the water addition. An excess of H_2 suppressed the formation of Cl_2. While CO, HF, and HCL were produced when the ratio of CCl_2F_2 : H_2 : O_2 was 1 : 2 : 0.5.
The experimental studies were carried out using Ar plasma jet generated by d. c. arc discharge at atmospheric pressure. The experimental results showed that CCl_2F_2 was completely decomposed and converted to CO and CO_2 with the addition of H_2 and O_2. However the conversions about the components of Cl and F were not investigated, thus the further analyses must be carried out.
These results mentioned above confirmed that the thermal plasma methods was useful to decompose CCl_2F_2 rapidly and abundantly.
