Halocarbon compounds are chemicals in which one or more carbon atoms are linked by covalent bonds with one or more halogen atoms: fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.
The aims of this project were therefore to contribute to the knowledge of the occurrence, distribution and dynamics of biogenic halogenated gases in seawater, and to test the hypothesis that the ocean is a source of the light alkyl nitrates.
Halocarbons that contain chlorine (CFCs and HCFCs) and bromine (halons) cause ozone depletion, and their emissions are controlled under the Montreal Protocol and its Adjustment and Amendments.

 Hybrid lubricant including halocarbon oil - Patent 4127491
Halocarbon oils are saturated, hydrogen-free chloro-fluorocarbons which are chemically inert, have high thermal stability and good lubricity as well as high density and non-polar characteristics.
While halocarbon oils are excellent lubricants and can be substituted directly for conventional lubricants in some applications, their use in automotive engines and other machines having similar metals has heretofore been interdicted.
However, in the context of the present invention, a halocarbon oil in the hybrid lubricant containing dispersed PTFE particles serves to produce an advantageous reaction; for this reaction, when the relative amount of halocarbon oil present is quite small, acts to fluorinate the metal surfaces being lubricated.

 Impregnated castings chemically resistant to contact with halocarbon refrigerant - Patent 4172178
Admission of the halocarbon gas in conduit 52 to the inlet 46 of the compressor is controlled by a series of circumferentially positioned guide inlet vanes 54 pivotally mounted in the conduit 52 in front of the inlet end of the centrifugal impeller.
Consequently, flow of halocarbon refrigerant gas to the centrifugal impeller is controlled by this vane and piston mechanism.
Large volumes of halocarbon gas dissolve in the cold lubricating oil, because the solubility of the halocarbon gas increases as temperature drops.

When replacing a conventional lubricant with a Halocarbon oil, there are practical and theoretical approaches to choosing the appropriate grade.
Through experience we have found that a good choice is the Halocarbon grade numerically similar to the ISO Grade of viscosities.
For example, Halocarbon 95 would be the choice to replace ISO 100 or other values in the same row.

Hydrocarbon and halocarbon measurements as photochemical and dynamical indicators of atmospheric hydroxyl, atomic chlorine, and vertical mixing obtained during Lagrangian flights
Nonmethane hydrocarbons and halocarbons were measured during two Lagrangian experiments conducted in the lower troposphere of the North Atlantic as part of the June 1992, Atlantic Stratosphere Transition Experiment/Marine Aerosol and Gas Exchange (ASTEX/MAGE) expedition.
However, the free tropospheric and marine boundary layer halocarbon concentrations were too similar to allow this entrainment to be quantified by these measurements.

 The carbon dioxide anion radical adduct in the perfused rat liver: relationship to halocarbon-induced toxicity.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Metabolism of halocarbons to PBN/.CO2- was 6- to 8-fold faster during perfusion with nitrogen-saturated rather than with oxygen-saturated perfusate.
Samples of effluent perfusate and chloroform/methanol extracts of liver were analyzed by ESR spectroscopy for free radical adducts following infusion of halocarbon and the spin trap, phenyl-t-butylnitrone (PBN).
Toxicity of halocarbons in the perfused liver was assessed by measuring the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the effluent perfusate in livers from phenobarbital-treated rats under conditions identical to those employed to detect radical adducts (i.e., during the infusion of CCl4 or CBrCl3 into livers perfused with either nitrogen- or oxygen-saturated perfusate).

 Application of Manning Systems gas sensors to detect ammonia and refrigerant gas in ice rinks.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Most ice rinks use R-22 as the refrigerant, but ammonia is becoming more popular in rinks because it is readily available, inexpensive and does not bring the same environmental issues as halocarbon refrigerants.
In a situation where a halocarbon leak would be in a cold area at floor level, it is extremely important to identify the leak at the earliest stage.
When R-22 is burned (as would happen if it were ingested in an internal combustion engine), one of the many gases produced is phosgene which, even at low levels, is a very dangerous gas.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The natural production of halocarbons eg methyl chloride, methyl bromide and methyl iodide by marine phytoplankton is well documented, but whether this constitutes a net open ocean source or sink is unclear.
Recent evidence suggests that there is no simple relationships between cholorophyll a and halocarbons in the open ocean and so extrapolation to global flux estimates is difficult.
Here we will present data from 3 cruises, covering winter, summer and spring biological conditions to shown that there is a relationship between, methyl bromide and methyl iodide production and specific algal pigment concentrations and/or species.
