Abstract

The design and construction of a catalytic reactor (AgF2 on copper turnings as support) for the fluorination of SO3 in a flow reaction to produce bis(fluorosulfuryl) peroxide (S2O6F2) are described in detail. An operating procedure is developed that allows the production of S2O6F2 in substantial quantities (80-120 g h(-1)) and avoids the accidental production of fluorine fluorosulfate (FOSO2F) as a hazardous byproduct. Also described are purification methods and disposal procedures for highly reactive byproducts (F-2 or FOSO2F) in a safe and environmentally friendly manner, as well as the long-term storage of S2O6F2.
