The invention relates to a new industrial process for manufacturing of perfluoropen-tane (PFP), and to the manufacture of a novel intermediate compound thereof, as well as to the novel intermediate compound itself and the use thereof in the process for manu-facturing of perfluoropentane (PFP). Accordingly, the invention relates to a process for the manufacture of the compound PFP (perfluoropentane), and/or of the compound perfluorinated 4-methylbutyrolactone, i.e., the precursor or intermediate compound of PFP (perfluoropentane), characterized in that the process comprises direct fluorination reaction with F2 gas as the fluorination agent, and/or from the fluorination reaction with SF4 as the fluorination agent. The present invention provides an efficient and simplified new industrial process for manufacturing of perfluoropentane (PFP) and/or of the compound perfluorinated 4-methylbutyrolactone, and preferably enabling large-scale and/or industrial production of perfluoropentane (PFP) and/or of the compound perfluorinated 4-methylbutyrolactone by means of special equipment and special reactor design.

A method for preparing a supported carbon catalyst, the method includes at least the following steps: contacting a gas containing an organic silicon source with a silicon oxide-based material to obtain a precursor; contacting the precursor with a gas containing an organic carbon source to obtain the supported carbon catalyst. The temperature and energy consumption of the chemical vapor deposition of heteroatom-containing carbon material on silica-based materials can be greatly reduced in this method, and the cost of the catalyst can be effectively reduced.
