FIRE EXTINGUISHING AGENTS

Abstract

Negotiations between the Army Engineers Research and Develop-ment Laboratories resulted in Contract No. W44-M09 eng - 507 for conduct-ing studies, re-s"o- ^-A investigations leading to the development of afire extinguishing agent with fkm. fire-fighting characteristics equalto or superior to methyl bromide. Although fluorine containing compoundswere of a great deal of interest to this project, the investigation wasnot limited to a study of the applicability these compounds as fireextinguishing agents.

A literature search revealed that no systematic study had beenmade of compounds to be used as fire extinguishing agents. In general,a proposed compound was tested by putting out fires under specifiedconditions. Such a test method was obviously not cuited for rating researchsamples of a few grams of material.

A laboratory screening test of compounds for their fire inhibitingproperties was set ur by determining the limits of flammability of mixturesof fuel, (L-heptane) air, and the proposed extinguishing agent. The peakin the curve obtained by plotting data concerning the famability ofmixtures was considered as a measure of the flame extinction propertiesof the test compound. This hypothesis was later shown to be valid bytests conducted at Fort Belvoir. Dibrcuodifluormethane heads the list ofthe thirty-one compounds found to be more effective than methyl bromideon the basis of this test. When the comparisons were made on a weightbasis instead of a volume basis oray eight compounds were found to be mreeffective than methyl bromide.

It was found that in a given homologous series of compounds,the effectiveness in fire extinction properties increases with an increasein molecular weight. No apparent relationship could be found between thefire extinction properties and molecular weight of ompounds chosen atrandom.

As part of a program of determining the effectiveness ofelemental coposttion of a compound in decreasing the flammability ofmixtures of air and n-heptane, several non-carbon compounds were studied.Halides of silicon, sulfur, and boron have (lame inhibition propertieswhich are greater than those for the corresponding carbon halides. Theproperties of these non-carbon halides rule them out as suitable fireextinguishing agents. Bubsequent research should include a study of methodsleading to the preparation of organic polyhalides containing sulfur,silicon and boron as an additional element.

The effect of a halogen substituent upon the fire extinctionproperties of carbon compounds was studied in some detail. The orderof increasing effectiveness is F<Cl Br('I. There are, however, someanomalies to this generalization which cannot be satisfactorily explained.For example, the alkyl iodides are more effective flame inhibiting agentsthan the corresponding alkyl bromides, but the perfluoroalkyl iodidesmay or may not be as effective as the corresponding perf~uoroalkyl bromides

The replacement of a bromine atom for a fluorine atom in carbontetrafluoride greatly increases the effectiveness of the resulting compound,briootrifluoromethane, in decreasing the flammability of mixtures contain-ing air and n-heptane. Subsequent replacements of bromine for fluorineresults in the formation of compounds which are more effective as fireextinguishing agents, however, this increase in effectiveness is not alinear relationship.

Unsaturated cmpounds were found, in general, to be ineffectivei decreasing the flammability of mixtures of air and n-heptane. Tetra-fluoroethylene was found to burn in air. 2,2-Diiluorovinyl bromide wasfound to be as effective as methyl bromide. The (perfluoroalkyl)benzenes,such as benzotrifluoride were found to be flammable in air.

The effect of temperature upon the coordinates of the peakin the flammability curves was determined at -780C., +26*C., and 145°C.The order of effectiveness, based upon the volume per cent of the halogencompound in the mixture, is the same at the three temperatures. Theflammble areas obtained at -78"C. were found to be quite irregular. Itwas also found that as the temperature increases, the peak in the flanmabilitycurve also increasee.

The standard fuel used for rating the various fire retardingagents with respect to one another was n-heptane. When the standard fuel,n-heptane, was replaced by a different fuel a qualitative parallel relation-ship exists between the fire retarding agents. Other fuels investigatedincluded diethyl ether, pentane, benzene acetone, ethyl acetate, andmethanol.

The possibility of using a mixture of compounds as a fireextinguishing agent was also investigated. Several binary mixtures of

halogen compounds were used as fire retarding agents on mixtures offl-pentane and air, This preliminary stuay indicated that in certaizinstances the use of a mixture of halogen-containing compounds is ad-vantageous. The actual effectiveness appeared to be characteristic ofthe particular mixture used. Hence no generalizations could be maderegarding choice of constituents in the mixture.

As a continuation of a study of the effect of variables onthe flamable limits of mixtures containing air, n-heptano, and ahalogen compound, the flaumble areas at subatmospheric pressures of200, 300, 400, and I0 we. Hg were determined. Fcr mixture! containLnmethyl bromide as the flame inhibiting agent, not only is the flamu-ability peak lowbred with a decrease or increase in pressure from 400 m.Hg but in general the flammable area lies within the area found at 400Hg pressure. When trifluoromethyl bromide was used as the flame in-hibiting agent the peak in the flammability curve was essentially thesame at 300, 400, and 500 am. Hg pressure and lower at 200 m. Hg pressure#In the case of dichlorodifluoramethane, the peaks are equivalent at 300and 400 =, Hg pressure and lower at 200 and 500 n. Hg pressure. Theseexamples are too few to warrant drawing any conclusions concerning theeffect of pressure on the flamable areas.

An accelerated stability test of various halogen compoundsto iron, copper, aluminum, brass and magnesium was performed. Testswere conducted at reflux temperatures at 200*F. (93.3C.) and at392*F. (200"C.) under anhydrous and aqueous conditions. Small stripsof the test metal werenoted for corrosion and loss in weight. Datashow that halogen ccmpoumds are less stable toward alum-nun than toeither brass, copper, iron or magnesium. There appears to be no signifi-cant difference between the stability of these compounds to brass and tocopper. The compounds are most stable to iron. The fluorocarbons arethe most stable and the monohaloalkanes the least stable.

Restivity measurements show that for practical purposesfluorocarbons are non-conductors of electricity and hence would be suit-able for use in combating electrical fires.

A knowledge of the behavior of halogen compounds under con-ditions favoring decomposition is of intercst in the interpretation ofdata relating to the toxicological properties and corrosive action.Accordingly, several halogen-containing compounds were introduced intoa flame resulting from the combustion of propane in air and the pro-ducts of decomposition studied. A special burner was designed so thatthe materials introduced and products formed could be quantitivelymeasured. The halogen compound was - 'ected to the flame in eitherof two ways. The halogen compound w first premiXed with the propanestream before burning or the air stram before burning. Considerablesoot was formed except when carbon tetrafluoride and sulfur hexafluoridewere used. Then only trace amunts were noted. The amount of sootobtained was always a little less than the amount of carban present inthe halogen compound introduced, This suggests that soot formation arises

ethane are about equivalent in effectiveness.

Unsaturated compounds were found,in general, to be ineffectiveir decreasing the flammability of mixtures of air and n-heptane. However,2,2-t'!flucr'vinyl bromide (CF2 - CHBr) was found to be unexpectedlyeffective. rhe peak in the flammability curve was 9.7%.

Tetrafluoroethylene was found to be flamnablc in air. The lowerlinit of flammability lies between 16.0 ard 16.3% and the upper limitbetween 43.0 anO 44.0%. These limits are for the upward propagation offlames. The flames resulting from combustion of mixtures whose compositionswore in the region of the lower limit were pale blu. in color and nosmoke was present. he flamus resulting by burding mixtures of tutra-fluoroethylene and air having a composition in the region of the upperlimit of flammability were red and much soot was frmed.

Mixtures of n-heptane, air and nitrogen trifluoride were foundto be explosive when ignited. The violence of the combustion reactionwas increased as the percentage of nitrogen trifluoride was increased to70% where further testing vas stopped. These results were unexpected sincenitrogen trifluoride is a stable compound and relatively inert. As aresult of these tests it was ocluded that nitrogen trifluoride was ofno further interest as a fire extinguishing material.

The (perfluorcalkyl~benzenes, benzotrifluoride, bis(trifluoro-methyl) benzenes and 1-(pentafluoroethyl)-4- (trifluoromethyl) benzenes,were eliminmted from further consideration when they were found to beflammable, The ring halogenated derivatives of these compounds were notstudied because of their low vapor pressure.

Weight Effectiveness vs. Molar Effectiveness. The method usedfor the determinetion of the flame extinction prop.rLies of halogen-containing compounds is based upon the volume percentage of the agentin a mixture of vapors. While this procedure provides a convenientmeans for evaluating the compounds and correlating the results, the weighteffectiveness becomes significant from an economic viewpoint since thesematerials are usually sold on the weight basis. It is also important toconsider the weight of material required for fire protection. In general,this point is more significant in cases where aircraft is concerned thanin other cases.

A comparison is made in Table II between the weight effectivenessof a halogen compound as a fire extinguishing agent and the volume -ffectivk-ness of these same compounds. The following equation was used in cal-culating the weight of halogen compound equivalent to the volume percentageof the halogen compound at the peak in the flammability curve. Grams of* Extinguisher - 100 liters22.4 liters x Mol. Wt. of Extinguishei x Vol.% Extinguisher atPeak. The calculations are based on 100 liters of gaseous mixture atO'C. and one atmosphere of pre3sure. It will be noticed that some com-pounds which have a low flamability peak are found to be less effectiveon a weight basis than others with a high flamability peak and vice versa.It is interesting tc note that on the volume basis, thirty-one of thecompounds tested are better than methyl bromide; whereas, on a weight basis,only eight compounds are more effective than methyl bromide.

Effect of TRerature. The effect of temperature upon thecoordinates of the peak In the flammability curves and the flammableareas was determined. Since it was desired that one of the temperaturesbe at least as low as -50*C. it was necessary to choose materials forthis study whichhave a vapor pressure at-50C. sufficiently high toobtain mixtures having the desired concentrations, as the test procedureis based upon the measurement of the flammability of a mixture of vapors.Methane was investigated first as the flammable material, but it wasobserved that the flawm was not always luminous. Isobutane was foundto be satisfactory in. all respects as the flammable material. Methylbromide, br trifluorcuethane and chlorotrifluormothane, sulfur hexa-fluoride and carbon tetrafluoride were chosen for use as the flameinhibitors.

The apparatus used was similar to the one previously describedexcept that the ecombustion tubes were 4-mersed in a constant temperaturebath as shown by photograph in Plate I and by diagram in Figure 4. ThePyrex combustion tube (A) was 51 m. inside diameter and 120 on. long.The rubber stopper (3), held on by atmospheric pressure, sealed the upperend of A. The lower end of A was connected by means of 8 mm. Pyrex tubing(C) to the gas mixing system. The upper end of A was connected to the gasmixing system by means of E. The gas mixing system consisted of themercury piston (G) and the one-way check valves (F). Thus, when the mer-cury rose and fell in G, the gas mixture in A was circulated and thoroughlyblended into a homogeneous mixture. Relay (J) and solenoids (I, and 12)controlled the pump action in G by regulating the flow of ccmpressed airinto the mercury reservoir (H). Tube A was connected to the manifold (L)through stopcocks (D and N5). Manometer (M) was used to measure thepressure in A. A vacuum pump and sources for dry air, fuel, and halogencompound were connected to L through stopcocks (NI, N2, N3, and N,respectively). The electrodes (0) used for ignition, were made of number29 gauge platinum wire and were connected to the high voltage terminalsof a Model-T Ford induction coil (not shown). The constant temperaturebath (P) was constructed of one-sixteenth inch sheet copper and was laggedwith 1.5 inches of magnesia (not shown). For elevated temperatures thebath was filled with oil which was heated by 250-watt nichrome wireimersion hoaters (not shown). For low temperatures, the bath was filledwith trichloroethylene and cooled with Dry Ice.

The apparatus was operated as follows: Tube A was evacuated b3the vacuum pump by closing and opening appropriate stopcocks. Fuel, ex-tinguisher, and dry air were introduced in order of increasing vaporpressure. The composition was calculated from the partial pressure of eachcomponent as noted on the manometer (M). Clamp (Q) was opened and thepump (G) was allowed to operate until thorough mixing had occurred. Themixing time was detemined by several preliminary runs. After mixing,

* the mixture was fired and a positive result was recorded if the flametraveled the Ahole length of the tube A. Before the next run the systemwas flushed with air by opening stopcock K.

Coordinates for the peak in the flammability curves for mixturesof the halogen compounds with air and isobutane at -780C., +260 C. (romtmperature) and +145*C. are summarized in Table III. The flammable areasat -78 e , *266 and *145"C. are shown in Figures 5-18 inclusive. The order ofeffectiveness based upon the amount. of halogen compound in the mixture, isthe same at -78"C. as at +26"C. The order is as follows.

1. braotrifluoroethanc2. methyl bromide3. chlorotrifluoromethane4. sulfur hexafluoridc5. carbon tetrafluoride

At 145vC. the order of decrea3ing effectiveness is bromotrifluorom~thane,mothyl bromide, chlorotrifluormethane and carbon tetrafluoride.

As shown in Figures 5-, , the curvus defining the On-abl- arcasat -78*C. are quite irregular. The flammable area for mixtures of air,chlorotrifluorum-thane and isobutani. is unioue since it is divided intotwo regions. None of the mixtures containing 2% chlorotrifluoromethaneburned. There is a constriction in the flamable area for mixtures ofbromotrifluoromethane, isobutane and air at 1% bromotrifluoromethane. Thereis a slight indentation in the curve sho.ing the flarmable area for mix-tures of carbon tetrafluoride, isobutane and air. There is no evidenceof such phenomena in the curves showing the flammbnle areas with the otherhalogen compounds. Likewise there is no evidence of such a constrictionin any of the flammable areas determined at room temperature using heptaneas the flammable materiftl. Since a zone of non-combustion was found toexist with isobutxne and chlorotrifluoromethane at low tampcratures, theregion above the peak in the flammability curve for mixtures of ir,chlorotrifluoromethane and isobutane at +26"C. was explored to determinewhether a second flarmable area could be found. No area of combustion wasfound even with concentrations of 40% chlorotrifluoramethane. With oneexception, the data in Table III support the hypothesis that the percentageof halogen compound in the mixture of air, flammable material and halogencompound at the peak in the inflammability curve increases as the tem-perature increases. Carbon tetrafluoride appears to be more effective inreducing the flammability of mixtures of air and isobutane at 145"C. thanat 26 0Cor at -78*C.

Effect of Flanmable Materials. This research project wasundertaken to find a superior fire extinguishing agent for use in combatingfires resulting from flammable liquids and/or electricity. Early in theresearch orogram, it was demonstrated that, in general, the types of materialsbeing investigated for possible fire extinguishing agents were nonconductorsof electricitylo. Since heptane vapors were used in the evaluationstudies, it seemed wise to undertake a project to determine whether ornot a parallel relationship exists between the Lbilities of halogen con-taining compounds to reduce the flammability of mixtures of air and heptaneand mixtures of air dith other flaxmrable nm'terials. Fontan%., benzene,

ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone and ethyl acetate were chosen as thecombustiblcs after a consideration of availaility and volatility as wellas flammability. Methylent dibromide, ethyl bromide, mthyl bromide,sulfur hexafluoride, c -rbon tetrafluoride, and bromotrifluoramethane werechosen as the flame inhibitors. These mterials aere c ostm because oftheir availability and, on the basis of prcvious tests, because a wOiderange of effectiveness is repr. tented by thuse materials. Data aresumarized in TbLI: IV which show the peak in the flamability curve forthe various comntustibles mixud ith air and with the selected halogencontaining compound.

It can bv eccluded from tne data in Table IV that a qualitativeparallel relationship exists bet.-een tho abilities of halogen containingcompounds to reduce the flammability of mixtures of air and heptan andmixtures of air with other flmable materials. Those points which rppearto be more or lcss effective than expected have been checked and foundto be accurate within exrimental error.

Effeact of Binary Mixtues of Halcen Compounds. Devlopmentshavo emphasized the need for a fire extinguishing agent applicable forise at temperatures ranging upward from -54°C. (-65*F.). A singlematerial which could be used over the entire tempernture range would bedesirable. One requirement of such a material is that it have a va.-orpressure sufriciently high at the low temperature to propel itself fromthe container to the fire. The vapor pressure of chlorotrifluoro-methane (b.p. -78*C) is too low at -54"C. to carry the extinguishingagent any appreciable distance from its container 22. Therefcre, itseems probable that a substance should have a boiling point of -lO0C.or lower if it is to be a self-propelling fire extinguishing agent at-54C. Chumicals selcctcd from a group of about ten thousand organic andinorganic materials having a normal boiling point below -IM0C. arelisted in Table V. An uxaaination of this list shows that those knownmaterials which may be of interest as a fire extinguishing agent arelimited to a small group comprising of helium, neon, nitrogen, argon,krypton, nitric oxide, carbon tetrafluorde, nitrogen trifluoride andxenon.

Carbon tetrafluoride has been shown to be more effective withrespect to fire extinction properties than nitrogen. It is believedthat there is no great difference in effectiveness between nitrogen,helium, neon, argon, krypton, and zenon. The choice would depend uponperformance tests, availability and economics.

Nitric oxide has favorable physical properties but its chemicalproperties are unfavorable. One reaction may be summarized as follows:

2NO + a .-------- 2NO2

3O + H2 0--HN--3 NO+ NO

The first reaction may be advantageous since oxygen is being consumed,but the second reaction would be disadvantageous because of the corro-sive nature of nitric acid produced by the reaction of nitrogen dioxidewith water.

In view of the relatively few compounds available with bolingpoints btlow -1000C., it seems evident that a higher boiling substance(s)will have to be used along with a propellant. Such a material shouldhave a freezing point below -54*C. and should be relatively rion-viscozis at-54*C. If the fluid is a mixture of substances, the freezing point ofone or more of the components may be somewhat higher than -54*C.

The possible need for using a mixture of ccmpounds for a fireextinugishin, agcnt was mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. Accord-ingly, research wa3 initiated to determine the effoctiveness of binarymixtures of halogen cntair(in compounds in decreasing the flammability ofmixtur,'s containing n-heptane, air and halog~en compounds. Data obtainodin this preliminary study are sumarized in Table VI. These dtta in-dicate that in certain instances the use of a mixture of halrcyn-containingcompounds is advantageous,

In subsequent studies pentane was used as the flammablc materialto avoid certain irregularities in the data believed to result from thecondensation of the heptane from the mixture. The concentration ofcombustible material was maintained constant in this study. Pentaneconcentrations of 2.5, 4 and 6% were used with each mixture of halogenccmpound. The data re plotted in Figures 19-36 inclusive. The straightline In each plot repres,nts the curve expected if the relationship betweenthe flame inhibition activities of the two extinguishing agents werearithmetical. Mixtures of ethyl bromide and methyl iodide follow thisline at a pentane concentration of 4% tFig. 26). At a pentane con-centration of 2.5% (Fig. 25) the curve lies below the line for mixturesof ethyl bromide and methyl iodide containing 65-100% ethyl bromide,indicating that the mixture in this region is more effective than cal-culated. The curve lies above the line for mixtures containing from35-100% methyl iodide (0-65% ethyl bromide), indicating that in regionsthe mixture -is less effective than calculated from the considerationof the effectiveness of the two components. At a pentane concentrationof 6% (Fig. 27), the entire curve lies below the straight line. Atpentane concentrations of 2.5%, 4% and 6% (Figs. 28, 29 and 30), thecurves for mixtures of ethyl bromide and methylene chloride lie belowthe straight line, indicating a synergistic effect in all pentane con-centrations of this binary mixture of halogen compounds. This is theonly mixture investigated which shows enhancement of effectiveness in allcn centrations of the hydrocarbon. A summary of the effect of the mix-

tures is given in Table VII.

The evaluation of mixtures of carbon tetrachloride andtrichloroethylene was performed, in response to a request from repre-ientatives of ERDL. This request was made since a mixture comprising

70% carbon tetrachloride and 30% trichloroethylene has been recommendedfor use as a fire cxtinjaihing fluid. In general on the basis of t:stswith pentane, it can be stated that a mixture comprising 70% carbontetrachloride and 30% trichloroethylene are not the most effective thatcan be obtained by mixing the two compounds. In choosing the compositionof such a mixture consideration must be given to economic factors andfreezing point characteristics as well as effectiveness. Should the70-30 composition represent the optimum from the cost considerationand the freezing point characteristics, then a sacrifice in effectivenessmay be justifiud.

Stfefl o_ PrnuwreA. aotinuation of a study of the effectof variables on the flama',le limits of mixtures containing air, a-heptaneand a halogen compcrnd, the flammable areas at subatmospheric pressures andat room temperature were determined for these mixtures wherein methylbromide, trifluorcmethyl bromide, and dichlorodifluaromethane were usedas the halogen compounds. The areas obtained at pressures of 200, 300,400 and 500 m. Hg. pressure are shown in Figures 37-48, inclusive. Datashewing peaks in the flammable areas are summarized in Table VIII. Formixtures containing methyl bromide as the flame inhibiting agent it canbe seen that not only is the flammability peak lowered with i decreaseor increase in pressure from 400 m. Hg., but that in general theflammable area lies within the area found at 4W00 am. Hg pressure. kitten triflucrmethyl bromide was used as the flame inhibiting agent thepeak in the flammability curve was essentially the same at 300, 40 and500 ms. Hg pressure and lower at 200 mm. Hg pressure. In the ccse ofdichlorodifluormethane, the peaks are equivalent at 300 end 400 mm. Hgpressure and lower at 200 and 500 m. Hg pressure.

These examjles are too few to warrant drawing any conclusionsconcerning thc effect-)of pressure on the flannable areas.

Stability Tests

Specific4tions of the desired fire extinguishing fluid rcquirea compound stable under any climatic condition for long periods of time.An accelerated test is desirable in a program in which a number of con-ditions was used in predicting the behavior of the compounds whenstored. Iron, copper, aluminum, brass and magnesium were chosen foruse In these studies because they are ccmmonly encountered.in materialsof construction.

Stability at Reflux Temperature. Tests were conducted to showthe stability of halogen compounds being investigated to iron filings,alut inum powder an copper powder. The experiments were conductedas follows: A 10 ml. sample of halogen compound was refluxed with thefinely divided metal for 100 hours. The liquid was then tested for in-saturation with a solution of pot~ssin permanganate in acetone and theaqueous extract for halide ions using the zirconyl-alizarin "Red S"test for fluoride ion and aayuous. silver nitrate for bromide and chlorideions. The test was followed with arother in which 10 ml. of distilledwater was added to the mixtures of organic compound and metal and theresulting mixture refluxed for 100 hours. rests for halide ions andunsaturatin were carried out as described previously. The results of

*these tests are summarized in Table IX. The data show that in generalthe compounds are quite stable to both iron and copper undar the con-ditions of the test. Decomposition was observed with wet bromochloro-methane, (not shown in Table IX) l-brmo-2-chloroethane and carbontetrachloride in contact with both iron filings and copper powder.

Another series of tests were conducted in whid carbon tetra-chloride (with and without an inhibitor) and bromochlormethane woretreated in the following manner: A mixture comprising 15 al. of thetest compound and 15 ml. of distilled water was reflwxed for 1O hoursin the presence of polished and weighed strips of coper, aluminum andiron. The results of these experiments are summarized In Table X. Thesedata indicate that carbon tetrachloride is more oorrosivi- to copper andiron than bromochlorcmathane. In all three cases the &. 1minum stripwas consumed.

Stabilitw at Elevated Teaeratures A series of experiments

were conducted U which the test omuds were heated in contact withstrips of metal at 392F. (200*C.). Only the materials boiling aboveabout 50*C. were used in this study and these compounds wore chosento show the effects, if any, of structural relationships on instability.

The procedure used in this study was s Jbllows. Polished andweighed strips of the metal and 20 ml. of the halogen compound weresealed in ampoules (Carius tubes). The tubes were inserted in ironpipes which, in turn, were placed in an oven boated at 392*F. After30 days, the tubes were allowed to cool to room temperature and thenopened. The physical appearance of each strip was noted. After re-moving coatings from the stripe which had corroded, the strips werereweighed and changes in weight compared with the original value wererecorded. This study was initiated to show the stability of halogencompounds to aluminum, copper and iron, common materials of construction.After this study was initiated it was requested that brass strips besuLstituted for copper strips. Data are summarized in Table I.

Compounds %,owing marked instability to the metals at 392*F.were heated in contact with the same metals at 200"F. In addition,experiments were conducted in which the halogen containing compoundswere heatid in contact with magnesium ribbon at 200*F. Data from theseexperiments are summarized in Table XII. Experiments with magneliumdeviated from the experiments with the other metals in one respect, namely,after tao -eeks at 200*F. the ampoule wa rtnoved from the oven, cooledto room temp, razure, and the contents examined visually. Those ampoulesin which there was little or no attack on the magnesium were returnedto the oven for a second period of heating.

The compounds have been divided into four groups, accordingto the weight change in the metal. Group A contains those compoundsin which the weight change was less than 0.01 g. Group B containsthose compounds in which the weight change was between 0.01 and 0.1 g.Group C contains those compounds in which the weight change was greaterthan 0.1 g. and less than complete cunsumption of the metal. Group Dcontains those compounds in which the metal was completely consumed.The stability of halogen-containing compounds toward metals accordingto these classifications are summarized in Table XIII.

- A

the compounds are less stable toward aluminum than to either brass, copper,iron or magnesium. There appears to be no significant difference betweenthe stability of these compounds to brass and to copper. The compoundsare most stable to iron.

As a class of ccmpounds, the fluorocarbons are the moat stableof the compounds investigated, and the monohaloalkar"es the least stabl.The halohydrocarbons containing halogen atoms on adjacent carbon atomswere less stable than tee halohydrocarbons containing halogen atzin the 1-3 position. This is illustrated by the fact that 2-bromo-1,1,l-trifluoropropane was less stable than 3-brcmo-l,,l1-trifluoropropane.This type of instability is to be expectud, since dehalogenation is oneof the expected reactions between a metal and a hlooydrocarbon. Thisroaction occurs more readily when the halogen atoms are on adjacent carbonatoms than when there is a carbon atom between the two carbon atoms hold-ing the halogen atoms.

The halogen compounds proved to be more stable to the metalsat 200F. thandt 392*F. This was expected, since, in general, the rateof a reaction doubles each time the tempen.uro is increased by 100.Carbon tetrachloride containing an inhibitor, was more corrosive at 3920 Fthan carbon tetrachloride containing no inhibitor. Perhaps the inhibitor

decomposed under the conditions of the tests.

Of the liquid compounds other than fluorocarbons tested at 392"C.,3-bromo-1,l,l-trifluoropropanc was the least corrosive while the carbontetrachloride containing an inhibitor was the most corrosive.

Resistivity Measurements

A meterial useful in extinguishing electrical fires should bea non-conductor. Ac:ordingly, apparatus was assumbled for use inresistivity measurdments. A Westinghouse Power Factor Cell (cell con-stant 396) and a General Radio Megohm Bridge, type 544-B, Serial No. 842,were available for use in making these measurements. Results of thedetermination are summarized in Table XIV. Resistivity measuramentswre limited to the fluorocarbons. The data obtained show that thefluorocarbons tested are, for practical purposes, non-conductors andhence would be suitable for use in combating electrical fires. It isbelieved that the other compounds shown to be ctinterest as fire-extinguishing agents are equally effective as insulators.

Attempts were made to determine the resistivity of biomotri-fluoromethano following the same procedure used I7 r the liquid fluoro-carbons. Values ranging from 1 x 101C to 1 x lO were obtained. Whenresults were obtained which were variable the project was discontinuedfor lack of time. The data obtained indicate that bromotrifluormethrteis a non-conductor of electricity.

Products of Dec=position

The major part of the study of fire extinguishing agents atPurdue University was concerned with the determinatidn of the flammablelimits of mixtures of air, a-heptane and a halogen-containing compound.A plot of these data on coordinate paper showed graphically the flamablearea for the three component mixtures. The peak in the curve definingthis flamsable ara serves as a. measure of the flame inhibition character-istics of the compound in question.

A knowledge of the behrvior of compounds under conditionsfavoring decomposition is of interest in the interpretation of data re-lating to the toxicological properties and corrosive action. For compoundswith favorable flame inhibition characteristics, this knowledge is alsoof interest in the adva-nccaent of the theoretical understanding of flameextinction. Decomposition in (a) a flame, (b) "hot zone" and (c) electricarc are of particular importance in a project relating to fire extinguishingagents. Therefore, in the final phases of this investigation, attentionwas directed to a study of the behavior of compounds chosen because oftheir flame inhibition characteristics under these conditions.

Flame Decomposition Studies. The apparatus that was used forthe determinations of flammable limits was not suitable for a study ofthe products of combustion because the quantities of materials involvedwere insufficient for a total analysis. Therefore, a combustionapparatus was assembled as shown diagramatically in Figure 41.

Compressed air was regulated by the needle valve 1 to maintaina constant flow as indicated by the calibrated flowmeter 4. Propane wasreleased from the cyclinder by means of the needle valve 2 to maintainthe desired flow as shown by the calibrated flowmeter 5. The fire re-tarding agent was released by the needle valve from the cylinder 3 whichwas of 20 r2. capacity. Flowmeter 6 was used to maintain a constantgas flo* from cylinder 3; however, the quantity of retarding agent usedwas det3rmined by difference in weight of the cylinder before and afterthe experiment. The burner barrel 8 was the ton of an ordinary laboratoryBunsen burner, 10.7 cm. tall, 1.0 cm. inside diameter, and wall thicknessof 0.1 cm. The burner was held in place by the piece of quarter inchcopper tube 7. The combustion zone was at the top of the burner. Themixture was ignited by means of the spark coil 14 and electrodes 7 and 13.The flame can be observed through the small mica window 9 and the mirrcr10. The large Pyrex test tube 11, 10 cm. in diameter and 18 inches deep,made an air tight seal with the rubber stopper 12. The chimney 15 wasmade from a piece of stainless steel tube 14 cm. long and 6 m. in diameter.The large goose-neck 16 was made of nickel tubing 4 cm. in diameter. Thebonds in the nickel tubing and nickel-stainless steel connections werewelded. The choice of the nickel tubing was arbitrary and based uponmaterial readily available. To aid in dismantling the apparatus forcleaning, flanges 17 and 19 were provided with neoprene gaskets held inplace by small bolts. The 2-liter, stainless steel beaker 18 cntaining

The water level in'J must not be higher than the lower edge of 16 in order to avoid largegas bubbles 4uich would effect the flame at 8. The gas from 18 passedby means of the stainless steel tube 20, 8 a. inside diameter, into the1-liter, stainless steel beaker 21 containing 600 al. of distilled water.The lower end of 20 at 22 had mall holes drilled in the walls in order todisperse the gas bubbles into a fine stream for thorough contact with thewater and also to maintain a constant Pas pressure at 86 The gas streamleaving 21 was free of corrosive hydrogen fluoride, but a Pyrex glassscrubbing tower 23 was provided for taking out residual soluble productsthat may have gotten past 18 and 21. The cold finger traps 24 were chilledwith Dry Ice-trichloroethylene mixture for removal of elemental halogenor other condensible products. Samples of gas were withdrawn at 26 foranalysis on a Burrell gas analyser. The last traces of soot settled outin the tube 25, 100 by 5.2 ca. The ases then 'assed through the WestTest meter 27 and was vented to the hood at 28.

The propane and air flows were adjusted so that the resultingflame was luminous but not smokey. The halogen compound was added (as agas) to the propane stram or to the air stream through a T-tube so asto be prcmixed before burning.

In all runs the flow rates of propane and air were adjustedat 0.238 and 7.18 moles per hour respectively. After the mixture wasburning steadily, the fire retarding agent was introduced slowly inincreasing amounts until the flame tended to go out. The amount of thefire retarding agent was then decreased alightly and the combustim wasallowed to bum for the desired time. At the completion of a run, theapparatus was dismantled and the soot in 15 and 16 was brushed loose forweighing. The contents of the scrubbers 18, 21, and 23 and of the coldfingers 24 were filtered by suction and. thoroughly rinsed with distilledwater. The soot was dried at 1108C. and weighed. The filtrate was dilutedto 2000 ml. from hich aliquots were taken for chemical analysis.

Analsis data for the combustion products of several halogencompounds are sfmmarized in Table XV.

Analytical Procedures. - Aliquots of the scrubbing solutionswere taken for analysis at the completion of each run. Chloride and/or

bromide ion was determined gravimetrically by precipitation with silvernitrate 19* Fluoride ion was determined gravimetrically by precipi-tation as calcium fluoride 29,

A Burrell Do Luxe Build-Up Model J gas analyser was used for theanalysis of the gaseous mixture coming from the water scrubbers S. Carbondioxide was absorbed in 30 per cent aqueous potassium hydroxide. Illuminantsor unsaturated organic compounds were absorbed in 30 per cent oleum.Oxygen was determined by absorption in alkaline sodium hydrosulfite. Hy-drogen was determined by oxidation to water. Carbon monoxide was deter-mined by oxidation to carbon dioxide followed by absorption of the carbon jdioxide in a 30 per cent potassium hydroxide solution. Total paraffins orsaturated hydrocarbons were analysed by catalytically oxidizing to water

Samples of gas were collected for analysis with respect toorganic constituents according to the procedure which follows:

A quantity of gas, 38 to 76 liters, was scrubbed with 30 per centpotassium hydroxide and then with aqueous sodium hydrosulfite to removecarbon dioxide and oxygen, respectively& Carbon dicxide was .-emoved tofacilitate later rectification, and oxygen was removed to avoid a possibleexplosion hazard. The gas was passed from the scrubbers through a trapcooled with liquid nitrogen whid condensed all of the organic componentsalong with some residual oxygen and a little nitrogen* This mixture wasthen rectified on the Podbielniak Hyd-Robot low temperature fractionatingcolumn. In all cases, there was a large forerun of non-condensablematerial consisting of oxygen and nitrogen, The quantities of the variouscomponents present were calculated from the resulting rectification curves,

The restlts of these rectifications may be summarized as follows:

Run No. 12. - It was found that approximately 4 of carbontetrafluoride was destroyed when it was premixed with propane and thenburned in air. Thie value was obtained by analysis of the fluoride ionpresent in the hydrolysis solution. The object of this experiment wasto sie how much of the carbon tetrafluoride could be recovered from thecombustion products by rectification. Propane and carbon tetrafluoridew a first premixed before burning in air. Flow rates of propane, carbontetrafluoride, and air were 0.238, 0.244, and 7.18 moles per hour,respectively. After burning and stripping off the non-condensable materialcarbon tetrafluoride was present to the extent of 0;072 mole per 76 litersof gas. This corresponds to 63 per cent of the carbon tetrafluorideoriginally introduced.

Run Nos. 17 and 18. - Nineteen liters of gas collected from eachrun were ccabined for the rectification. A trace of ethane, b.p. range-87 to -88"C. was indicated. No trace of dibromodifluoromethane wasfound, thus indicating that it was completely decomposed.

Run No. 19 - For this experiment, 76 liters of gas we* collectedand three fractions were isolated. Methane, b.p. -166*C., was presentto the extent of 0.0031 mole per 76 liters of gas and ethane, b.p. -86 to-87'C. was present to the extent of 0.0047 per 76 liters of gas. Thethird fraction, b.p. -136*C., is of unknown composition, and was presentto tht extent of 0.0015 mole per 76 liters of gas.

Run No. 20 - Only carbon tetrafluoride was present to theextent of 0.184 mole per 76 liters of gas. This corresponds to 56 percent of the carbon tetrafluoride originally introduced.

Discussion of Results. - Table XV presents a summary of theresults of analysis of the products of combustion. In all cases, con-siderable soot formation occurred except for carbon tetrafluoride andsulfur hexafluoride where only trace amounts were noted. The amount of

soot obtained was always a little less than the -meunt of aarbon presenuin the halogen compound introduced. This suggests that soot formationarises from the halogen cuapound and not from the propane, a point whichcould be checked by burning a halogen compound containing labeled carbon.The analysis for total halide ion gives the degree to which the halogencompound is decomposed. Due to the hydrolytic action of the waterscrubbers, only total halide ions were determined. Possible halogen com-pounds such as carboiye- halides or easily hydrolysed organic halides werunot determined qualitatively or quantitatively since their structure wouldbe destroyed by passing through water. From the results of Table XVit is apparent that all of the halogen compounds except carbon tetra-fluoride tested are largely decomposed. The percentage decomposition ofthe halogen compound when premixed with the propane stream can be deter-mined by dividing the caloulated total halogen introduccd into the tdalhalide ion found by analysis of the combustion products. In Table XVIflammability peaks and per cent decomposition ara tabulated for thehalogen compounds tested when premixed with the propane stream. Halogencompouands having lou values for the flamability peaks have high valuesof per cent decoviposition with the exception of dibromodifluoromethane.

Halogen compounds containig bromine or chlorine in additionto fluorine were largely destroyed ad since those compounds havingstrong fire retardtng characteristics contain bromine and/or chlorinein addition to fluorine, it can be e4)ected that they will be largelydestroyed in a flame. Dibromodifluoromethane appears Lo be an exceptionto that observation since it has a flammability peak of 4.2 but is de-composed to the extent of 69 per cent (%) as determined by the qucantityof halide ion formed.

In the case of sulfur hexafluoridu, no total sulfur balancewas obtained but free sulfur, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide wereidentified. The concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the gas stream wasof the order of 5 x I0" grams per liter.

There appears to be very little differenco in the resultsobtained by introducing the halopen compound with Lither the air or thepropane.

Examination of the result& of the gas analysis in Table XVshows that the intrduction of the halogen ccmpound to the propane-air

mixture is accompanied by a decrease in the completcness of combustionas evidenced by increases in the amounts of illuminants, hydrogen andcarbon monoxide prod-ced. Two exceptions are noted. Carbon tetrafluorldeand octafluoropropane seem to erance the degree of combustion as notedby the large increase of carbon dioxide produced.

Pyrolysis Studies - Three types of -xpedrents were conductedin this category; namely, heating the halogen compound, in the presenceof and in the absence of air, at 800*C. in an l.ron pipe heated to 800"C.and heating the halogen compound in a platinum tube at 800*C. in theabsence of air, £etails of thesL experimentsi are as followst

JImjao 2tudies in the Prsence of Air. An iron pipe, 20 incheslong and frvo-eI its Inch inside diameter, was loosely packed 4th about10 grams of coarse steel wool. A 12-inch, electrically hated tubefurnace was used for hoating the iron pipe at 80* ± 10* C. The tem-perature was measured by a thermocouple placed near the e.nter of thetube and on the outsidt_ bet-een the tubc wall and the K .ating elements.Air and the halogen compound were premixed before passing throughthe hot zone. Irn the case of liquid halogen compounds, boiling ncarroom temperature and over, premixing was done by passing a measurodamount of air through the compound in a test tube. The loss of weightof the test tube gave the amount of halogen compound used. Gasteuscompounds were measured by moans of c.-librated flowmeters. The pro-ducts from the hot tube were passd directly into a receiver cooled byliquid nitrogen. All of the organic components were condensed along withsome air. At the compltion of a run, the entire contents of thecold trap were rectified on a Podbiolniak Hyd-Robot low temperaturefractionating column.

Air and the halogen compound were protected from moisture butno special precautions were taken to dry the gases before pyrolysis.It was assumed that ordinary compressed air and commercial halogen com-pounds were sufficiently dry for all practical purposes.

The halogen compounds chosen for the pyrolysis ctudies con-tainud no hydrogen inteIr structure. The reason for this choice wasbased upon the fact that there would be no hydrogen h; lide, exptciallyhydrogen fluoride, formed as a rusult of the pyrolysis. Hence, thegaseous pyrolytic products could be rectified irrctly without anydanger of corroding glass apparatus.

The pyrolysis products were analysed for the organic com)n ntopresent in the gas stream, carbonyl halides, and carbon dioxide andox7gen. The organic components presnt were analysed by condensing allof the .lytic products in a trap cooled with liquid nitrogen and thenrectifying the contents of the cold trap as already mentioned above. Froma comparison of known boiling points and gas densities, the identity ofthe unknown fractions could be determined in most cases. The quantityof each fraction present w'1s calculated from the rectification chartwhich is automatically ploti ed by the Podbielniak instrument.

The following proce dure was used for the quantitItivc deter-mination of carbonyl halides: Air and the halog*%t compound were passedinto the hot zone as already described. Gaseous products wcre ledthrough a dry Pyrex Wool filter to rmcvu iron compounds suspended inthe gas stream and then into an sorption train similar to Lht onedescribed by Yant and covorkvrs.I- The train consistvd of a layer ofcalcium chloride for drying the gas, a laytr of amalgamated tin for removalof eLmental halogen, and a layer ef mossy zinc f&r remor-al of hydrogenhalides.

through. Carbonyl halides 4erc converted to sym-iphenylurea by reactionwith the aniline. The sym-diphenylurea was filtvred on tared Goochcrucibleswas dkied et 70*C. and. weighed. The sym-diphenylurea was thendissolved out with 5 milliliters of warm, absolute ethanol into a taredweighing bottle. The alcohol was evaporated at room temperature and theresidue was dried at 70oC. and weighed as sym-diphenylurea. The Goochcrucible was also dried at 700C. and reweighed. The loss in weight wasused as a check for the analysis. Melting points and qualitative chembalanalysis of the sym-diphenylurea were made to check the purity of the pro-duct. In all cases, only traces of halogen were detected in the Sym-diphenylurea and the molting point found varied from 224 to 2391 C. Theliterature value for sym-diphenylurea is 238-239OC. The amount ofcarbonyl halides was calculated from the weight of sym-diphenylurea asparts per million on a gas volume basis at temp-eratures and pressures ofexperimental conditions. No attempt was made to identify the exactformula of the carbonyl halide that was formed. Depending upon the halogencompound undergoing decomposition, there is a possibility of variouscarbonyl halides being produced and the values reported her3 representthe summation of all.

In addition to the determinations of organic components andcarbonyl halides, an analysis was made on some of the products usingfor carbon dioxide and oxygen a Burrell Gas Analysis Apparatus of theOrsat type. The values found are reported in Table XVII, along withother data for these experiments.

Rectification analyses for several of the products are asfollows:

Pyrolysis No. 3 - Carbon tetrafluoride was the only organiccompound present.

Pyrolysis No. 4 - Dichlorodifluoromethane was recovered to theextent of 43.1 per cent. A second fraction boiled at -82.OC. andhad a moledular weight of 104 as determined by a gas density deter-mination. The compound is chlorotrifluoromethane and was presentto the extent of 19.3 per cebt of the dichlorodifluoromethaneoriginally introduced. A third compound boiled at -125oC. and waspresent in a tpace amount only. The latter compound is probablycarbon tetrafluoride. In addition to these compounds, a few gramsof an organic solid was found at the exit end of the iron pipe. Thesolid was purified by sublimation and its melting point andqualitative chemical analysis were determined. The compound meltedin the range 181-1890C. in a sealed tube and contains chlorine butno fluorine. The compound was established to be hexachloroethane.

Pyrolysis No. 5 - The pyrolysis of 0.274 mole of dibromo-difluoromethane and 0.174 mole of air through an iron pipe at 80OoC.resulted in the formation of a compound having a boiling point of-576C. and a molecular weight of 149 as determined from the gasdensity. The structure of this compound was not established. Thepyrolysis was also accompanied by the liberation of elemental brominewhich was converted to an equivalent amount or iodine and then

Pyrolysis Studies in the Absence of Kir - The same apparatuswas used for these experiments that was described for pyrolysis experi-ments in the absence of air. The amount of halogen compound used wasdetermined by the difference in weight of a small oteti cylinder beforeand after the experiment. The pyrolyis products from the hot zone werecondensed in a trap cooled by liquid nitrogen. Generally only one passwas made through the hot zone. The product in the trap cooled withliquid nitrogen was anLiysed for brtakdown products by fractionEl dis-tillation on the Hyd-Robot Low Temperature column.

Carbon Tetrafluoride - The pyrolysis cf carbon tetrafluoride(0.180 mole) through a platinum tube at 800*C. resulted in therecovery of 0.135 mole o f carbon tetrafluoride. No other productswere detected. It can be concluded from this series of experimentsthat decomposition of the halogen compounds is less extensive inthe absence of air than in the presence of air. Also, more ex-tensive decomposition is obtained in the iron tube,

Behavior ofHalogen Compounds in an Electric Arc. - The objectof this research was to determine the breakdown products formed by thefire extinguishing agent when subjected to an electric arc. To accomplishthis, the following apparatus was constructed: A piece of Pyrex tubing,24 am. in diameter and 26 cm. long, was constricted in the middleto an inside diameter of 1 cm. Platinum electrodes were sealed into thetube wall in such a manner that the gap between the electrodes wasdirectly across the snstricted part. A separate cold trap was connectedto each end of the Pyrex tube by means of ground glass ball joints tomake an air tight seal. The system was also connected to a mercurymanometer, one end of vhich was open to the atmosphere so that theinternal pressure during the arcing process could be measured at alltimes. The spark source was a Model-T Ford spark coil having eight voltsD.C. on the primary. For the experiments described herein, thp el-ctrodegap was 0.4 to 0.5 cm.

A quantity of the fire extinguishing agent was distilled intothe system and condensed into one of the cold traps dooled with licraidnitrogen. Liquid nitrogen was chosen as a cooling medium to make certainthat no possible decomposition products would escape from the system.By distilling the compound back and forth from cold trap to cold trap,the vapors were forced through the arc. After arcing, the ontents ofthe system werc analysed by rectification on the Podbiolniak Hyd-Robotlow temperature fractionating column.

Octafluoropropane - Octafluoropropane was subjected to fivepasses through the arc. Etc iing of the Pyrex tube was noticed. Onrectification, thL bulk of the material was found to be octafluoropropaxr.A trace of material boiling at -81'C. was also found.

Dibramodifluoromethane. - Dibromodifluoromethane was subjectedto five passes. A small qugtity of elemcntal bivmine was liberated asa result of the arcing. On rectification, the bulk of th'smaterial wasdibromodifluoromethane. A trace of mat,.rial boiling at -70"C. and atrace boiling at -55'C. were also found.

Toxicity

No attempt has been made at Purdue to determine the toxicityof the substances under investigation.

The Freons have been studied extensively and, in general, theyare considered to b non-toxic. Fluoroform (Freon 23) has been shownto produce no ill effect upon a guinea pig when the test animal wassubjected to an atmosphere comprising 80% trifluoromethane and 20% oxygeng.

As a part of a cooperative research program at Purdue Universtya number of fluorine-ccntnin compounds have been made avflable forevaluation as anesthetics. Many of the compounds tested have been ahoumto possess desirable anesthetic properties.44 Among Ui.ise compounds are2-bromo-and 3-bramo-l,l,l-tri fluoropropane.

The literature contains information concerning the life hazardsof several materials of interest as fire-extinguishing fluids. This In-formation may be summarized as foflows:

Struck and Plattner 7 have reported that perfluorobutane iswithout anesthetic activity and that it is toxic in concentrationsgreater than 25%. No ill effects were observed in concentrations ofabout 5%. Perfluorocyclopentane was found to be more toxic thanperfluorobutane.

A study of the toxicological properties of several of thecompounds posseusing the more favorable flame inhibition properties hasbeen initiated at the Toxicology Branch of the Army Chical Center.A formal report covering toxicity studies has not been issued.

Physical Properties

A library research project was initiated to determine whetheror not a correlation exists between the flame inhibition p roperties ofa compound and its physical characteristics. An attempt was made tofind all of the physical characteristics reported for several gases.Materials chosen for this library study may be grouped into threeclassifications, namely, inert gases, flammable gases and gascs supportingcombustion. Representative materials in each of these groups are asfollows:

The appendix of this report contains tables showing data obtained inthis search. Numerous attempts have been made to correlate the physicaldata reported in the Appendix(Tables I to 7 inlnusive) withflame inhibition properties as indicated from the peak in the flazmabilitycurves. However, no correlation is apparent. Some of the relationshipeconsidered which were more promising than others are shown in Figures50 to 55 inclusive. These figures show the relationah3p of vapor densityand dielectric constants to flammability peaks,

It is our conclusion as a result of this library search that

there are insufficient physical data reported for any given series ofcompounds to make a correlation feasible.

HentA dafluoro(N.N-diethv1orn1lalne) was obtained fromthe Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company as a research sample. Itwas used as such without purification.

y.- trifluoroacetate (b.p., 61.70C.) was prepared by thesiultaneous hydrolysis and esterification of sodium trifluoroacetate.The reactions involved in this synthesis may be illustrated by thefollowing sequence:

39. CF3COtNa * H2SO4 * CaHsOH - CF3CO2 C2H5 + NaHSO4 4 H20.

In carrying out the reaction, an excess of both sulfuricacid and ethanol was used and the reaction was forced to completion bythe ontinuous distillation of the product from the react.-on mixture.The distillate was treated with anhydrous calcium chloride at OC. toremove residual alcohol and distilled from a sall amount of phosphoruspontoxicke.

Other Materials. Most of compou nds evaluated with respect t.otheir fire extinction properties havt been either halocarbons orhalohydrocarbons. The desirability of preparing and evaluating repre-sentative compounds from other classes of materiali is evident froman inspectirn of th6 few data available from the evaluation of suchcompounds. Considerable effort has been directed to the preparation offluorinated derivatives of ether, sulfides, silicones and amines. Thepropost. methods of synthesis of these compounds and a discussion ofthe progress azid failures to date are repo.ted herein.

Fluorinated Ethers. It was decided to attempt the preparationof fluorinated dimethyl ethers by two methods which are described bythe following equ.ations:

40. CF3 1 + NaOCH 3 -".- CH3OCF 3 + Nal

41. 2CF3I + Ag2O --.- CF3OCF 3 + 2AgI

48. C2C13F30 + MFx - C2Cl2FO -C2 C1F 5O + C2F60

The method of equations LO and 41 represents the more direct approach and,;ccordingly experiments were performed in which an attempt was made toreact trifluorcmhyl iodide with sodium methoxide and with silver oxide.The react.ons when carried out in Carius tubes usually ended with thedemolition of the tubes, indicating the formation of hexafluoroethane.One experiment was conducted in a small ni ckel autoclave. Forty grams oftrifluoroiodetha-_. 26 7 of sil-ci co.r an6 20 g. of mutianol were

- Ln a Lll nickel autoclave and heated ax 500C, for 96 hoursand then at 1000C. for 24 hours. The autogenous pressure had reached600 lb./so. in. at 1036C. and was 200 lb./sq.in. at room temperature.The ai.toclave was connected to a series of traps and the valve wasopened. No gas was collected in the Dry Ice traps and upon heating theautoclave a ' t.i,,tiy of methanol was u-L.ected. The autoclave was openedand the solid was removed. The solid material gave a positive test forsilver iodide but also seemed to have hydrogen fluoride occluded on thesurface. The fact that there was a pressure increase during the reactionand yet no ga3 was collected in the Dry :ce traps indicated that a morecomplicated reaction had tAken place than expected from equation 41.It appears that a metallic surfacc is not beneficial to the desiredreaction. Since no glass lined aut&oclave was available and since onlysmall quantities of materials could be used in the Carius tubes it wasdecided to abandon this approach.

The synthesis concerned with the preparation of the polychlor-inated dimethyl ethers as the intermediates was considered the nextlogical approach to the preparation of the desired polyfluorinateddimethyl ethers. Monochlorcmethyl ether was chosen as the startingmaterial and four kilograms were prepared by the directions given inOrganic Synthesis7." The next step in the preparation of fluorinatedmethyl ethers was the preparr.tion of polychlorinated methyl ethers fromthe monochloromethyl ether. Booths, mentioned the preparation of poly-

chlorinated methyl ethers but does not give experimental details. Itwas found that 7.n tha presence of carbon tetrachloride and ultravioletradiation further chlorination of monochloromethyl ether with chlorineotld ba acieved* A typical preparation is as followal Three hundredgrams of monochloramethyl ether was placed in a large glass tube 4 feetlong and 2 inches in diameter and equipped with cooling coils, a gasdispersion disc and a reflux condenser. Two hundred and fifty gramsof carbon tetrachloride was added and chlorine was passed into thesolution for 20 minutes at -151C., and for 16 hours at approximately35 to 40'C. The solution was dried with calcium chloride and fractionated,There was obtained 300 grams of polychlorinated dimethyl ether boilingat 128 to 1300C. amd 100 grams of dichloro(dimethyl ether) boiling at102 to 1051C. It has not been determined if the higher boiling fractionis the tri- or tetrachloro(dimcthyl other). There are conflictingreports in the literature as to the boiling points of the two mavterials.

Booth2 gives the preparation of fluorinated dimethyl ethersby the reaction of Pntimony trifluoride with the polychlorinated methylethers. Three hundred grams of the polychlorinated ether was placedin a 500 ml., round-bottom, 3-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, acondenser and a nitrogen inlet. Fivv hundred grams of antimony tri-fluoride was added and the mixture was heated at reflux for several hours.There was obtained 25 grams of material boiling at 30-31*C. and 7 gramsof material boiling at 53*C. This would indicate that the startingmaterial was trichloro(dimethyl ether) since the boiling points correspondto these given by Booth for trifluoro(dimethyl ether) and cblorodifluoro-(dimethyl ether.)

Fluorinated Sulfides. Among the sulfur compounds desired forevaluation ,ith respect to their fire extinction properties were thefollowing: CCIF3 S, CF3SF 5 , CF 3SF, CF3SCF 3 , and (CF 3 ) 2 SF , . The proposedmethods of synthesis of these compounds are given by the followingunbalanced equations:

Several attempts were made to prepare thiocarbonyi perdhloride (CCISCl)without success by the method given in Organic Synthesis$. No explar-ationhas been found and this particular synthesis has been abandoned.

Thu chlorination of dimethyl sulfide has been done by Moos0Howver, upon chlorinat-ion of dimethyl sullfidc, prnJibcts were obtainedwhose boiling points were different from these given by Moos.

Fluorinated Amines. Bn order to make the study on amines lorecomplete, it war decided to attempt the preparation of perfluoroktrimethylamine). Ten experiments were performed in which trimethylamine wasfluorinated to various degrees by passing the compound over ft oridesconsisting of ether lead totrafluoride, cobalt trifluoride or silverdiflu.:ride. The experiments were varied with respect to temperature andtime of contact. From the ten experiments approximately 70 grams of amaterial boiling at 30-330 C. and analyzing for 6.9% N, 19.4% C and1.6% H as compared to 6.33% N, 16.28% C and 0% H for perfluoro(trimethyl-amina) was obtained. This material was recycled over cobalt trifluorideat 180-2000C. The resulting product was rectified on a low temperaturocolumn. Seven fractions were obtained and are as follows:

Weight of distillate (go) Boiling Range (°C.)

Less than 1.0 below -15.05.0 -14 .0 to ?.05.0 +7.5 to 15.09.0 15.0 to 2I.O

Less than 1.0 27 to 401.9 40 to 657.5 65 to 70

Since these experiments were not indicative of better results, furtherwork was abandoned.

Performance Tests

Early in this research program it was mutually agreed thatlarge scale tests should be conducted at Fort Belvoir and not at Purdue.This report would not be complete without including results of someactual tests. These results, supplied by the research group at FortBelvoir, are sumrized in Table XVIII. An inspection of these datain this table bear out the conclusion that bramoflucrocarbons areeffective fire extinguishing agents. The correlation between the peak 4in the flammability curve (Table I) and the behavior of these materialsin extinguishing a tib fire is not readily apparent. However, if the *
