This review addresses the treatment methods for 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) and its significant sources of global emission. HFC-134a is considered to be one of the most common hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), with high global warming potential (GWP). The primary emission sources of HFC-134a are its use as a refrigerant, and in the industrial sector, during the manufacturing of foam. International regulations have addressed the concerns related to HFC-134a treatment technologies, and more stringent guidelines have been introduced. Diverse strategies and treatment technologies are employed for the reduction in emission of HFC-134a, that is, recovery methods, incineration, plasma treatment, and catalytic decomposition (pyrolysis and hydrolysis) technologies. HFC-134a decomposition is an important step when coping with climate change. All the methods have shown promising results for HFC-134a abatement. It would be interesting to utilize these technologies for the production of useful materials.© 2021 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

对当代 HFC-134a 处理策略和方法的全面审查

本综述讨论了 1,1,1,2-四氟乙烷 (HFC-134a) 的处理方法及其全球排放的重要来源。HFC-134a 被认为是最常见的氢氟烃 (HFC) 之一，具有很高的全球变暖潜能值 (GWP)。HFC-134a 的主要排放源是其在泡沫制造过程中用作制冷剂以及在工业部门中的使用。国际法规解决了与 HFC-134a 处理技术相关的问题，并引入了更严格的准则。减少HFC-134a排放采用多种策略和处理技术，即回收方法、焚烧、等离子体处理和催化分解（热解和水解）技术。HFC-134a 分解是应对气候变化的重要步骤。所有方法都显示出对 HFC-134a 减排有希望的结果。利用这些技术生产有用的材料会很有趣。© 2021 化学工业协会和 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd。
