Anwendungen & Verwendung

Verwenden

Compounds of interest in this group include sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used as an electrical insulating material in circuit breakers, cables, capacitors, and transformers, and its degradation products, which are produced when electrical arcing occurs. The specific compounds produced depend on the arcing conditions. In anaerobic and anhydrous circumstances, sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4) is produced; if moisture is present, the tetrafluoride may hydrolyze to form thionyl fluoride (SOF2) and HF. Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2), disulfur decafluoride (S2F10), sulfur pentafluoride (SF5), and sulfur dioxide are also formed from sulfur hexafluoride. Some of these compounds are also produced as contaminants in the commercial production of sulfur hexafluoride by burning sulfur in fluorine gas, for example, sulfur tetrafluoride and disulfur decafluoride, as well as sulfur monofluoride (S2F2).

Reactivity ProfileSULFUR TETRAFLUORIDE is a highly toxic and corrosive gas. On contact with water, steam, or mineral acids it decomposes and produces toxic and highly irritating fumes. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fluoride and sulfur oxides fumes [Lewis, 3rd ed., 1993, p. 1197]. Explosively violent reactions with 2-(hydroxymethyl)furan or 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol even below -50 °C have been recorded [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 1432]. Ignition or explosion may occur on contact with dioxygen difluoride even below -100 °C [Streng, A. G., Chem. Rev., 1963, 63, p. 615].
Chemical DangersReacts violently with water and acids. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes. Attacks glass and metal.

UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 27(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that sulfur tetrafluoride is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of sulfur tetrafluoride from moist soil surfaces would be expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given the compound is a gas with a vapor pressure of 1.52X10+4 mm Hg at 25 °C(3). However, sulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water(3)therefore, rapid hydrolysis will attenuate the importance of volatilization from moist soil and leaching(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure(SRC). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2015).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 27(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that sulfur tetrafluoride is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water to yield hydrofluoric acid and thionyl fluoride(3). Therefore, volatilization from water and biocentration are not expected to be an important fate processes(SRC). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2015).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), sulfur tetrafluoride, which has a vapor pressure of 1.52X10+4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a gas in the ambient atmosphere. Sulfur tetrafluoride is a relatively heavy gas with a vapor density 3.78 times that of air(3). Therefore, if released in the atmosphere, it may tend to remain close to the ground and be transported to earth by wet deposition(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water to yield hydrofluoric acid and thionyl fluoride(2). It also reacts and fumes in moist air(2). Therefore, hydrolysis is expected to be an important fate process in the ambient atmosphere(SRC).

ExpositionspfadeThe substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation.inhalation, skin and/or eye contact
ToxizitätsübersichtIDENTIFICATION AND USE: Sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4) is a colorless gas. It is used as a selective fluorinating agent, capable of replacing oxygen in many organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds with fluorine. It is also used in the production of water- and oil-repellant materials and lubricity improvers. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: SF4 exerts severe local effects upon inhalation at rather low exposure levels, most probably due to respiratory tract irritation. Eye-irritating properties are suggested by a case study, in which workers were exposed to the breakdown products of sulphur hexafluoride. ANIMAL STUDIES: Local effects in the respiratory tract were found in a rat study at 4 ppm (18 mg/cu m).

Soil Adsorption/MobilityUsing a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of sulfur tetrafluoride can be estimated to be 27(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that sulfur tetrafluoride is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Sulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water(3), therefore, leaching in moist soils will be attenuated by hydrolysis(SRC).
Human Toxicity Excerpts/SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS/ ...the compound exerts severe local effects upon inhalation at rather low exposure levels, most probably due to respiratory tract irritation. Moreover, eye-irritating properties are suggested by a case study, in which workers were exposed to the breakdown products of sulphur hexafluoride./CASE REPORTS/ Six electrical workers accidentally exposed to degradation products of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) during electrical repair work were followed up for one year. One degradation product, sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4), was identified from worksite measurements. Unprotected exposure in an underground enclosed space occurred for six hours over a 12 hour period. Initial symptoms included shortness of breath, chest tightness, productive cough, nose and eye irritation, headache, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms subsided when exposure was interrupted during attempts to identify the cause of the problem. Although exposure ended after several hours, four workers remained symptomatic for between one week and one month. Pulmonary radiographic abnormalities included several discrete areas of transitory platelike atelectasis in one worker, and a slight diffuse infiltrate in the left lower lobe of another. One worker showed transient obstructive changes in tests of pulmonary function. Examination at follow up after one year showed no persistent abnormalities./OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ In view of the violent reaction of sulphur tetrafluoride with water, systemic exposure to this compound itself may be deemed negligible. Systemic exposure to hydrogen fluoride, sulphur dioxide, and thionyl dioxide - hydrolysis products - will, however, occur.
Artificial Pollution SourcesSulfur tetrafluoride's production and use as a selective fluorinating agent(1), as a treatment to increase the water repellency of polymeric materials, in the preparation of high-lubricity elastomers, and for treatment of carbon blacks to prepare improved rubber vulcanizates(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride can be formed as a degradation product of high temperature decomposition of sulfur hexafluoride(3).
Environmental BioconcentrationSulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water to yield hydrofluoric acid and thionyl fluoride(1). Therefore, bioconcentration in aquatic organisms weill not occur(SRC).
Volatilization from Water/SoilSulfur tetrafluoride reacts rapidly with water to yield hydrofluoric acid and thionyl fluoride(1). Therefore, volatilization from water is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride is a gas with vapor pressure of 1.52X10+4 mm Hg at 25 °C(1). Therefore, volatilization from moist soil surfaces would be expected to occurhowever, rapid hydrolysis will attenuate the importance of volatilization from moist soil(SRC). Sulfur tetrafluoride is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure(SRC).
Non-Human Toxicity Excerpts/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Acute Exposure/ ... Four hours of respiratory exposure to 19 ppm ( 86 mg/cu m ) caused death in one of 2 exposed rats, while all 2 rats survived a 1-hour exposure to 40 ppm ( 180 mg/cu m ). Further, rats repeatedly exposed to 4 ppm ( 18 mg/cu m4 hours/day for 10 days over a 12-day period) showed signs of 'respiratory embarrassment'. Two rats sacrificed immediately after the 10th exposure, showed pulmonary damage, while rats allowed to recover for 14 days showed no clinical and anatomical lesion./ALTERNATIVE and IN VITRO TESTS/ Using quadrupole mass spectrometric analysis of sparked sulfur hexafluoride over energy and pressure ranges of 4-94 kj and 40-233 kPa, respectively, the by-products include sulfur tetrafluoride. The cytotoxic activity of certain of the more abundant decomposition products (prepared as mixtures of the specified by- product SF6) toward the Chinese hamster lung cells using a colony formation assay were investigated. Sulfur fluoride exhibited no sigificant cytotoxic activity at 0.5% concentration, although concentrations of 1 and 2% showed definite cytotoxicity, particularly after 4 hr of exposure.
