Description:
The catalog of Industrial Process Profiles for Environmental Use was developed as an aid in defining the environmental impacts of industrial activity in the United States. Entries for each industry are in consistent format and form separate chapters of the study. The materials of the fluorocarbon-hydrogen fluoride industry consist primarily of chemically and thermally stable organofluoro compounds which generally have nontoxic and nonflammable qualities. The industry is discussed in two segments: (1) Fluorocarbon Production and (2) Hydrogen Fluoride Production. One chemical tree, fourteen process flow sheets and twenty-nine process descriptions have been prepared to characterize the industry. Within each process description available data have been presented on input materials, operating parameters, utility requirements and waste streams. Data related to the subject matter, including company, product and raw material data, are included as appendices.
