Pyrex reaction fluorine compounds

A number of detailed kinetic studies on the thermal reactions of fluorine compounds has been made in recent years by Atkinson and associates " at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London. The static method has been largely used, with nickel, stainless steel, and occasionally, pyrex glass reaction vessels suitably aged after several decompositions of the fluorine compound. Glass vessels are attacked by fluorine compounds at high temperatures presumably with the formation of carbon monoxide and silicon fluoride -...
