Abstract

The product composition of photocatalytic oxidation of vaporized sevoflurane, a next-generation fluorinated inhalation anesthetic, has been studied. It has been found that the final products of oxidation are carbon dioxide and hydrogen fluoride. The possibility of complete chemical absorption of the evolved hydrogen fluoride by a lime absorber during the course of the photocatalytic reaction has been shown. A safe scheme for using photocatalysis is recommended for purifying air to remove vapors of halogen-containing anesthetics under medical hospital conditions.
