Beschreibung
Vinyl fluoride (VF) was first synthesized by Frederic Swarts,
a Belgian chemist in 1901, by the reaction between zinc and
1,1-difluoro-2-bromoethane. Modern preparation involves
the reaction of acetylene and hydrogen fluoride (HF) in the
presence of a mercury- or aluminum-based catalyst. The US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed VF as a highproduction-
volume chemical in 1990. According to National
Toxicology Program (NTP), 2005, the annual production of
VF in the United States was above 1 million pounds
(454 000 kg) in 1990 and approximately 3.3 million pounds
(1.5 million kg) in 2001.
Chemische Eigenschaften
Vinyl fluoride is a colorless gas.
Verwenden
Vinyl fluoride is used primarily in the production of polyvinyl fluoride and other fluoropolymers. Polymers of vinyl fluoride are resistant to weather and exhibit great strength, chemical inertness, and low permeability to air and water. Polyvinyl fluoride is laminated with aluminum, galvanized steel, and cellulose materials and is used as a protective surface for the exteriors of residential and commercial buildings. Polyvinyl fluoride laminated with various plastics has been used to cover walls, pipes, and electrical equipment and inside aircraft cabins (IARC 1995).
Vorbereitung Methode
The first preparation of VF in the early 1900s was by reacting
zinc with 1,1-difluoro-2-bromomethane.
VF was considered to be a high production volume chemical
according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
with annual production exceeding 1million lb in 1990.
In 2001, annual U.S. production was estimated approximately
3.3 million lb. In 1994, VF was produced by one
company each in Japan and the United States. More recently, only one U.S. manufacturer of VF was identified
. Information on European manufacturer is not
available.
The modern production is by the addition of hydrogen
fluoride to acetylene over a mercury- or aluminum-based
catalyst.
synthetische
Vinyl fluoride may be obtained from acetylene by either of the two following
routes:
In the first method, acetylene is heated with hydrogen fluoride in the presence
of a catalyst of mercuric chloride on charcoal at about 40??C to yield vinyl
fluoride directly. In the second method, acetylene is treated with an excess of
hydrogen fluoride to form difluoroethane which is then pyrolysed at about
700??C in a platinum tube to give vinyl fluoride, which is separated by
distillation under pressure.
Vinylidene fluoride is obtained from vinylidene chloride by the
following route:
In the first stage, vinylidene chloride undergoes addition with hydrogen
chloride at about 30??C and atmospheric pressure in the presence of a FriedelCrafts type catalyst. The resulting trichloroethane is then treated with
hydrogen fluoride at about 180??C and 3 MPa (30 atmospheres) in the
presence of antimony pentachloride to give chlorodifluoroethane. Pyrolysis of this product yields vinylidene fluoride. Vinylidene fluoride is a gas, b.p.
-84??C.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
A colorless gas with a faint ethereal odor. Shipped as a confined liquid under its vapor pressure. Any leak can either be liquid or vapor. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Easily ignited. Vapors are heavier than air. Can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Highly flammable, reacts with air to form peroxides
Reaktivität anzeigen
VINYL FLUORIDE is light sensitive, peroxidizable monomer may initiate exothermic polymerization of the bulk material [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 958]. Sensitive to many oxidants.
Health Hazard
Inhalation of vapor causes slight intoxication, some shortness of breath. Liquid may cause frostbite of eyes or skin.
Sicherheitsprofil
Confirmed carcinogen.
A poison. Mutation data reported. A very
dangerous fire hazard. To fight fire, stop
flow of gas. When heated to decomposition
it emits toxic fumes of F-. See also
FLUORIDES.
mögliche Exposition
Vinyl fluoride’s primary use is as a
chemical and polymer intermediate; used to make polyvinyl
fluoride (Tedlar) film. Polyvinyl fluoride film is characterized
by superior resistance to weather, high strength; and a
high dielectric constant. It is used as a film laminate for
building materials and in packaging electrical equipment.
Polyvinyl fluoride film poses a hazard, so it is not recommended
for food packaging. Polyvinyl fluoride evolves
toxic fumes upon heating.
Carcinogenicity
Vinyl fluoride is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
Environmental Fate
VF is expected to exist solely as a gas in the ambient atmosphere.
The gas-phase of VF is degraded in the atmosphere by
reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals. The
half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 3 days as
calculated from its rate constant of 5.56 × 10
-12 cm3 molecule sec-
-1 at 25°C. VF also reacts with atmospheric ozone, leading
to its atmospheric degradation (estimated half-life of about
16 days). The Henry’s Law constant of VF (0.118 atmm3
mol1) indicates that VF is expected to volatilize rapidly
from water surfaces. Due to its volatile property, VF is not
persistent in nature and adsorption to sediment is not
considered to be a natural process for VF in water. The half-life
for volatilization from a model river (1-m deep) and a model
pond (2-m deep) are 2 and 23.5 h, respectively. VF is not expected
to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms as it has a bioconcentration
factor (BCF) of 4.7, whereas a BCF value greater
than 1000 is required for its significant bioaccumulation. As VF
remains as a gas under normal conditions, it readily evaporates
to the atmosphere when released into soil. When dissolved in
an aqueous solution, VF is very mobile in soil. Lack of sufficient
data prevents to predict its biodegradation fate in soils.
