General description

2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1-propanol (TFP) is extensively used as the solvent. Mineralization and defluoridation of TFP by UV oxidation in a novel three-phase fluidized bed reactor was reported. Desorption of activated carbon loaded with TFP by supercritical carbon dioxide in a rotating packed bed was investigated.

Application


  • Water repellent applications: 2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1-propanol is utilized in the synthesis of vegetable oil-based fluorocarbon water repellent agents for cotton fabrics, demonstrating its utility in enhancing the water resistance of textiles, important for clothing and outdoor gear industries (Zhao et al., 2012).

2,2,3,3-Tetrafluoro-1-propanol (TFP, C3H4F4O, M.W. = 132.06) is extensively used as the solvent in CD-R and DVD-R fabrication. Since it has a fluorinated alky-chain configuration and is non-biodegradable, its treatment by conventional oxidation methods is typically very inefficient. In this work
