I'm writing a science fiction. i work in the HVAC industry because that's what job i ended up being forced to have in the Marine corps. in the book the character also works in the hvac field because he also did it in the Marine corps. and like me, he wanted to be a combat engineer and work with explosives because it's exciting. but i never got that opportunity, instead they gave me an actual career which i should be thankful for. now I'm writing a science fiction about this character and it's based in a post apocalyptic scene and I'm going to spice up the story with explosives if someone who knows what they are talking about would tell me a theoretical method.

I'm talking about writing about it. this is a science forum and already i have to listen to losers preach to me about dangers. I'm just looking for knowledge. but this looks like another dead end.

what are the usual ways of extracting fluorine from a chlorofluorocarbon. and how do you pass refrigerant over a hot alkali when refrigerants are gas at extremely low temps? take r22 for example. a common hydrochlorofluorocarbon. boiling point is -40°f. John Cutherber says all i need to do is pass that refrigerant over a hot alkali and extract it "the normal ways".... what???

I'm talking about extracting the fluorine from the chlorofluorocarbon. edit: I'm writing about this. Your answer is vague for me I'm not very science savvy. I don't know what the "usual ways" are. How would you pass refrigerant over a heated alkali?

can fluorine be separated from hcfc/cfc refrigerants?
