| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fluoropolymers are used in many industrial applications owing to their high chemical and thermal stability and other specific characters. Among these polymers, poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE)is most frequently used. However, PTFE cannot be processed by melt molding. To overcome this limitation, melt-processable fluoropolymers, typically, poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) and its related copolymers, have been developed and introduced in industry. In the present work, decompositions of PVDF and related copolymers in subcritical water were investigated with the aim of developing a technique to recover the fluorine component. By use of hydrogen peroxide, these fluoropolymers can be efficiently decomposed to F- and CO2 (i.e., mineralization) at a relatively low temperature (ca. 300 degrees). Addition of stoichiometric Ca(OH)2 to the reactions formed CaF2 well identified by X-ray diffraction spectrometry.
