The process produces a fluorinated olefin from a fluorinated copolymer having at least one of sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, or salts thereof. The process includes heating the fluorinated copolymer at a first temperature not more than 450° C. to decompose at least one of the sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, or salts thereof to form a partially pyrolyzed intermediate and subsequently heating the partially pyrolyzed intermediate at a second temperature of at least 550° C. to produce the fluorinated olefin.

Mechanical stirred bed reactors that incorporate a screen are described. Methods of using such reactors to process perfluoropolymers to form perfluorinated olefin monomers are also described. The reactors and methods may be used to upcycle filled perfluorinated materials.

Provided is a method for producing tetrafluoromethane, and the method is unlikely to damage a reaction apparatus and can produce tetrafluoromethane safely, inexpensively, and stably. To a raw material liquid (1) containing a reaction inducer and a fluorinated hydrocarbon represented by chemical formula C.sub.pH.sub.qCl.sub.rF.sub.s (in the chemical formula, p is an integer of 3 or more and 18 or less, q is an integer of 0 or more and 3 or less, r is an integer of 0 or more and 9 or less, and s is an integer of 5 or more and 30 or less) and having no carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, fluorine gas is introduced to give tetrafluoromethane. The reaction inducer is a hydrocarbon polymer solid at normal temperature and pressure and is reacted with fluorine gas to induce a reaction of forming tetrafluoromethane from the fluorinated hydrocarbon and the fluorine gas.
