Catalytic Hydrolysis of Perfluorinated Compounds in a Yolk-Shell Micro-Reactor.

ABSTRACT: Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are emerging environmental pollutants characterized by their extreme stability and resistance to degradation. Among them, tetrafluoromethane (CF₄) is the simplest and most abundant PFC in the atmosphere. However, the highest C─F bond energy and its highly symmetrical structure make it particularly challenging to decompose. In this work, a yolk-shell Al₂O₃ micro-reactor is developed to enhance the catalytic hydrolysis performance of CF₄ by creating a local autothermic environment. Finite element simulations predict that the yolk-shell Al₂O₃ micro-reactor captures the heat released during the catalytic hydrolysis of CF₄, resulting in a local autothermic environment within the yolk-she
