Halocarbon Compound: Presented By: Santos, John Merwin S. Pagdanganan, John Del C. Sanchez, Ronn Andrew E

Halocarbon compounds are commonly used as refrigerants. They are organic compounds where some or all hydrogen atoms in the molecule are replaced by halogen atoms like fluorine or chlorine. The two main subclasses of halocarbons are chlorocarbons and fluorocarbons. Chlorocarbons contain only carbon and chlorine, while fluorocarbons are chemically inert compounds used as refrigerants, lubricants, and non-stick coatings. Halocarbons can be divided into four groups: chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and hydrofluoroolefins.

HALOCARBON COMPOUND

PRESENTED BY:

SANTOS, JOHN MERWIN S.


PAGDANGANAN, JOHN DEL C.
SANCHEZ, RONN ANDREW E.
REFRIGERANTS

ARE FLUIDS USED IN REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS. THE


MOST COMMON REFRIGERANTS ARE HALOCARBONS
AND AMMONIA. CARBON DIOXIDE, HYDROCARBONS
AND OTHER SUBTANCES AND MIXTURES CAN ALSO BE
USED.
HALOCARBON COMPOUND

ARE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WITH SEVERAL OR ALL HYDROGEN


ATOMS REPLACED WITH HALOGEN ATOMS, USUALLY FLOURINE OR
CHLORINE. AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE,
HALOCARBON REFRIGERANTS ARE GASES OR HIGHLY VOLATILE
LIQUIDS.

“ HALO CARBONS ARE MOSTLY MANMADE CHEMICALS ” USED IN A


RANGE OF APPLICATIONS OVER PAST CENTURY.
HALOCARBON COMPOUND

ANY CHEMICAL COMPOUND OF THE ELEMENT CARBON AND ONE


OR MORE OF THE HALOGENS.

HALOGENS - ANY OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS FLUORINE, CHLORINE,


BROMINE, IODINE, AND ASTATINE THAT FORM PART OF GROUP
VIIA OF THE PERIODIC TABLE AND EXIST IN THE FREE STATE
NORMALLY AS DIATOMIC MOLECULES.

THERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT SUBCLASSES OF HALOCARBONS


THESE ARE THE CHLOROCARBONS AND FLUOROCARBONS.
CHLOROCARBONS
• CONTAINING ONLY CARBON AND CHLOURINE
• CHLOROCARBONS OR CHLORINATED CARBONS REFERS TO
HYDROCARBONS IN WHICH HYDROGEN ATOMS ARE REPLACED BY
CHLORINE ATOMS.
• ARE ALL TRANSPARENT AND COLORLESS LIQUIDS THAT ARE
HEAVIER THAN WATER AND HAVE DISTINCT ODORS.
CHARACTERISTICS

•NONFLAMMABLE.
•HAVE HIGH DEGREASING POWER AND DISSOLVE ORGANIC
MATERIAL.
•LOW VISCOSITY AND SURFACE TENSION.
•CONTAINED WASTE LIQUIDS CAN BE EASILY RECOVERED THROUGH
EVAPORATION PROCESS AND REUSE.
•HAVE HIGH VAPOR DENSITY.
•HAVE LOW MUTUAL SOLUBILITY WITH WATER.
FLUOROCARBONS
• ANY OF VARIOUS CHEMICALLY INERT COMPOUNDS CONTAINING
CARBON AND FLOURINE USED CHIEFLY AS LUBRICANTS,
REFRIGERANTS, NONSTICK COATING,AND FORMERLY AEROSOL
AND ETC.

• MOST REFRIGERANT FOUND IN AIR CONDITIONERS,


REFRIGERATORS, AND FREEZERS CONTAIN FLUOROCARBON AND
MANY FLUOROCARBON COMPOUNDS CONTAIN CHLORINE.

•THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED SINCE THE BEGGINNING OF THE 90’s


BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.
CHARACTERISTICS

• EXTREMELY LOW VISIBILITY.


• DENSER THAN WATER.
• LOW STRETCH.
• EXCELLENCE ABRASION RESISTANCE.
• MORE RESISTANT TO UV LIGHT DETERIORATION.
• GOOD KNOT STRENGTH.
• SUITABLE FOR WIDE RANGE KNOTS.
• DOES NOT ABSORB WATER SO PROPERTIES ARE THE SAME DRY OR
WET.
ADDITION :

HALOCARBONS MAY BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS :

•CHLOROFLOUROCARBONS – CONTAINING CHLORINE, FLOURINE, AND


CARBONS.

•HYDROCHLOROFLUOROCARBONS – CONTAINING HYDROGEN,


CHLORINE, FLOURINE, AND CARBONS.

•HYDROFLUOROCARBONS – CONTAINING HYDROGEN, FLOURINE, AND


CARBONS.

•HYDROFLUOROOLEFINS – CONTAINING HYDROGEN, FLOURINE, AND


CARBONS. THESE ARE OLEFINS OR KNOWN AS ALKENES.
