Disposal of hydrogen fluoride and fluorine by gas-liquid dispersion scrubbing
Description
A gas--liquid dispersion scrubber was investigated as a method for removing hydrogen fluoride and fluorine from gas streams. Experimental results indicated that the scrubber was greater than 99 percent effective for hydrogen fluoride removal at various concentration levels up to six percent. It is postulated that the scrubber would also be effective at levels greater than six percent. Studies for fluorine removal showed that superficial velocity and fluorine inlet concentration are system variables which produce an interacting effect on the total fluoride in the outlet, and significant quantities of oxygen difluoride are formed at inlet concentrations greater than one percent fluorine.
