The decomposition of CCl2F2 to CO2 and accompanying halogen fixation by a CaO based material was studied. To improve the low reactivity of CaO, a consequence of its low surface acidity, transition metal oxides were added. Impregnation of metal acetylacetonate followed by removal of the ligand under vacuum was found to be an effective method. This method resulted in the formation of carbonaceous species and the reduction of metal oxide to metal, both of which were thought to initiate the decomposition reaction. The reactivity of these materials (MOx(a)/CaO-vac) was found to be in the following order: M = Ni > Cu > V = Fe > Mn > Co > Ca. In particular, nickel supported on CaO was most effective for the decomposition of CCl2F2. During the preparation, nickel oxide was reduced to the metal phase. CCl2F2 was decomposed to CO2 with a small amount of CO, and halogens were fixed as CaFCl, without significant deactivation at 723 K.
