A Brief History of CFC’s
• Fluorine was first described in 1529. It was used in the form of
Fluorspar to remove impurities during metal smelting. Derived from
the Latin word Fluo, meaning “to flow”.
• The electrolytic isolation of Fluorine was accomplished in 1886 by
Henri Moissan in a process still used commercially today. Moissan
received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this process in 1906.
• Belgian scientist Frederick Swarts pioneered the synthesis of CFC’s
in the 1890’s. The process was improved by Thomas Midgley Jr.
while working for DuPont in 1928.

Hydro ChlorofluoroCarbons
Hydro Chloroflouro Carbons (HCFC’s)
have distinct advantages over CFC’s.
Hydrogen abstraction of HCFC’s leads to
much shorter Atmospheric lifetimes. Thus,
these compounds are far less likely to
migrate to the stratosphere.

Nations to ramp up phaseout of ozone-killers
200 nations agree to speed elimination of HCFCs, major greenhouse gas
TORONTO — Governments of almost 200 countries have agreed to
speed the elimination of a major greenhouse gas that depletes ozone,
U.N. and Canadian officials said Saturday, describing a deal they said
was a significant step toward fighting global warming.
The agreement reached Friday night will accelerate a treaty to freeze
and phase out hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) which are used in
home appliances, some refrigerators, hair sprays and air conditioners,
said Nick Nuttall, spokesman for the United Nations Environment
Program.

relatively unknown.
• There is growing concern about the
atmospheric conversion of HFE’s into

Oxidation is initiated by reaction with OH radicals giving a halogenated alkyl
radical which adds O2 to give the corresponding peroxy radical (RO2). Peroxy
radicals react with three important trace species in the atmosphere: NO, NO2,
and HO2 radicals. Reactions with HO2 and NO2 delay, but do not prevent, the
conversion of peroxy (CF3CXYO2) into alkoxy (CF3CXYO) radicals. Reactions of
haloperoxy radicals with NO are rapid and give the alkoxy radical with essentially
100% yield. The atmospheric fate of the alkoxy radical, CF3CXYO, is either
decomposition or reaction with O2. Decomposition occurs by C-C bond fission, or
by the elimination of a Br, Cl, or CF3 group. The atmospheric fate of CF3C(O)X
(X=F or Cl) is dominated by incorporation into rain-cloud-sea water followed by
rapid hydrolysis to trifluoroacetic acid. Photolysis is a competing loss mechanism
for CF3C(O)Cl and limits its conversion into CF3C(O)OH to 60% (Cox et al.,
1995). There are no competing loss processes for CF3C(O)F; it is converted
entirely into CF3C(O)OH. Although CF3C(O)OH is produced in aqueous phase
chemistry, is highly soluble and partitions into the water phase (Bowden et al.,
1996), the evaporation of cloud droplets can transfer CF3C(O)OH to the gas
phase where it can react with OH radicals. However, this reaction is slow (Carr et
al., 1994; Møgelberg et al., 1994) and is only a minor (<5%, Kanakidou et al.,
1995) loss of CF3C(O)OH. The main atmospheric fate of CF3C(O)OH is rain-out
to the surface.
