Chlorofluorocarbons undergo interconversion during destruction in an argon arc plasma, so that, for example, in the exhaust gas from destruction of CCI2F2, CCIF3 is found to be the major residual ozone depleting substance: as electron capture detectors are lo4 times less sensitive for CCIF3, compared with CCI2F2, although these gases have the same ozone depleting potential, analysis of exhaust from destruction of chlorofluorocarbons is therefore not a trivial matter of determining only the level of input chlorofluorocarbon remaining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
