Abstract

Smog chamber/FTIR techniques were used to measure k(Cl+HCF ₂O(CF₂CF₂O)_xCF₂H)=(5. 3±1.5)× 10^-17 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 in 700 Torr of N₂/O₂ diluent at 296±1 K. The Cl-initiated atmospheric oxidation of HCF ₂O(CF₂CF₂O)_xCF₂H, x=2,3 and 4, gave COF₂ in molar yields of (593±41) %, (758±71) % and (939±73) %, respectively, with no other observable carbon-containing products (i.e., essentially complete conversion of the hydrofluoropolyethers into COF₂). Quantitative infrared spectra for HCF₂O(CF₂CF₂O)_xCF₂H (x=2-4) were recorded and used to estimate the radiative efficiencies of the title compounds (1.07, 1.33, and 1.36 W m^-2 ppb^-1). Global warming potentials (100 year time horizon) of 3870, 4730 and 5060 were estimated for HCF₂O(CF₂CF₂O)_xCF ₂H, x=2, 3 and 4, respectively. The results are discussed with respect to the atmospheric chemistry and environmental impact of hydrofluoropolyethers.
