Process for production of iodine pentafluoride

Abstract

There is provided a process for the production of iodine pentafluoride which avoids the problems of the production process of iodine pentafluoride of the prior art as much as possible, and which carries out the reaction of fluorine and iodine moderately, so that iodine pentafluoride is produced more safely and more productively. In the process for the production of iodine pentafluoride by reacting fluorine and iodine, fluorine is supplied to the gas phase 14 which is adjacent to the liquid phase 12 of iodine pentafluoride which contains iodine.
