Direct gas-phase epoxidation of hexafluoropropylene with molecular oxygen using Ag catalyst

Pure Component and Binary Vapor−Liquid Equilibrium + Modeling for Hexafluoropropylene and Hexafluoropropylene Oxide with Toluene and Hexafluoroethane

“…R1216 and HFPO are specialty fluorocarbons which have found extensive use in the fluorochemical industry. R1216 has gained prominence in both industrial and research activities and is utilized as an intermediate in chemical reactions, as a monomer in fluoropolymers, , in etching applications, and in epoxidation reactions for the manufacturing of HFPO. − The relatively more valuable commodity HFPO has found application in the manufacturing of high performance fluoropolymers and elastomers, in the production of high performance lubricating oils and heat resistant fluids, as a surfactant in ion exchange membrane applications, and in the manufacturing of rigid polyurethane foams…”

Fast-Growing Field of Magnetically Recyclable Nanocatalysts

“…Ag-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes is a very important and powerful methodology for formation of epoxides in academic studies and toward industrial applications. − Pioneering work on the application of magnetically recyclable Ag-based catalysts for epoxidation of alkenes was reported by Chen’s group . A AgNPs–Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite with a size of 230 nm was readily produced in one pot with the assistance of PVP and ethylene glycol using AgNO 3 and FeCl 3 precursors and provided excellent catalytic activity and selectivity in epoxidation of styrene with TBHP as oxidant.…”

Ag supported on alumina for the epoxidation of 1-hexene with molecular oxygen: the effect of Ag+/Ag0

“…15 Liu et al showed that the addition of Cs improved the conversion to 16.5% and the selectivity to 47.8% for hexachloropropene. 27 It can be speculated that Ag/Al 2 O 3 catalysts can be extended to the epoxidation of other linear terminal olefins, which account for the majority (50–60%) in the Fischer–Tropsch Synthesis products. 28 Knowledge of its performance ( i.e.…”
