Metal Fluorides Produced Using Chlorine Trifluoride Gas

Etching of Silicon Carbide Using Chlorine Trifluoride Gas

Metal Fluorides, Metal Chlorides and Halogenated Metal Oxides as Lewis Acidic Heterogeneous Catalysts. Providing Some Context for Nanostructured Metal Fluorides.

Aspects of the chemistry of selected metal fluorides, which are pertinent to their real or potential use as Lewis acidic, heterogeneous catalysts, are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to β-aluminum trifluoride, aluminum chlorofluoride and aluminas γ and η, whose surfaces become partially fluorinated or chlorinated, through pre-treatment with halogenating reagents or during a catalytic rea...

Inhalation of chlorine gas.

The clinical features of acute chlorine gas inhalation, and its management are reviewed. Current medical views on the chronic effects of an acute overwhelming exposure on lung function (reactive airways dysfunction syndrome), and the more controversial field of lung disease secondary to repeated inhalations of lower concentrations of chlorine gas are discussed.

Respiratory effects of chlorine gas.

Reactive airway disease after chlorine gas exposure.

We read with great interest in the September 1991 issue of Chest the case report by Moore and Sherman.’ Chlorine gas exposure has multiple toxic effects on the respiratory system, including immediate airflow obstruction, ARDS, and death. The long-term effects can include abnormalities in gas transfer, restriction, and airflow obstruction. These generally resolve with time to a variable degree. ...
