Reactions between carbon dioxide and fluorine were examined at temperatures of 303-523 K under various pressure and mixture ratios of both gases. Reactions were carried out similarly under the existence of NaF, CsF and EuF 3 .After the reaction, fluorine was removed and the reaction products were analyzed using FT-IR, GC/FT-IR and GC/MS. The major products were CF 3 OF, COF 2 , CF 4 and CF 2 (OF) 2 .The best yield of COF 2 was 11.1% under the reaction condition of CO 2 /F 2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa with temperature of 498 K for 72 h in a direct reaction. The formation rate of COF 2 in the direct reaction was estimated as 0.232 dm 3 mol À1 h À1 under the reaction conditions of CO 2 / F 2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa, at 498 K. In the presence of CsF, it was estimated as 1.88 dm 3 mol À1 h À1 at CO 2 /F 2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K.The activation energy of the COF 2 formation in the direct reaction was estimated as 45.7 kJ mol À1 at CO 2 /F 2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K. In addition, 24.2 and 38.9 kJ mol À1 were evaluated at CO 2 /F 2 = 76 kPa/76 kPa at 498 K, respectively, in the presence of CsF and EuF 3 .
