Production of Fluorocarbons
Open accessAbstract
A description is herein given of the general method by which fluorocarbons and some of their derivatives are obtained from hydrogen fluoride, an organic compound, and an electric current. The cells used are made of any material resistant to hydrogen fluoride; the cathodes are usually iron and the anodes nickel. The cells are usually operated at potentials of five to six volts. At these potentials fluorine is not generated, but at much higher potentials it is with resulting explosions and extensive decomposition of the organic material. The principal fluorocarbon product contains the same number of carbon atoms as the hydrocarbon radical of the organic compound. The process is illustrated in the employment of pyridine as the source material and other nitrogen-containing examples. The peculiar behavior of mercuric cyanide in the cells is described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
