Abstract

Methods and materials are disclosed for the recovery of valuable hydrofluorocarbons and subsequent conversion to environmentally inert compounds. More specifically methods and materials are provided for recovering hydrofluorocarbons such as HFC-227, HFC-236, HFC-245, HFC-125, HFC-134, HFC-143, HFC-152, HFC-32, HFC-23 and their respective isomers. Processes are provided for converting hydrofluorocarbons such as these to fluoromonomer precursors such as CFC-217, CFC-216, CFC-215, CFC-115, CFC-114, CFC-113, CFC-112, HCFC-22, CFC-12, CFC-13 and their respective isomers. Materials, methods and schemes are provided for the conversion of these fluoromonomer precursors to fluoromonomers such as HFP, PFP, TFP, TFE, and VDF.
