Abstract: In the subatmospheric pressure system, the preparation of tetrafluoroethylene(TFE) monomer by pyrolyzing waste polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) was studied. The pyrolyzing pressure and temperature were investigated. The results showed that the pressure was the most important factor in pyrolysis process. At a certain temperature, it was favorable for increasing TFE yield under lower pressure of the pyrolysis. When the pyrolyzing temperature was 500 ℃ and pressure lower than 0.5 kPa, the yield of the TFE was 98%.
