  • Patent number: 8231851
    Abstract: An exhaust gas containing a perfluoride compound (PFC) and SiF4 is conducted into a silicon remover and brought into contact with water. A reaction water supplied from a water supplying piping and air supplied from an air supplying piping are mixed with the exhaust gas exhausted from the silicon remover. The exhaust gas containing water, air, and CF4 is heated at 700° C. by a heater. The exhaust gas containing PFC is conducted to a catalyst layer filled with an alumina group catalyst. The PFC is decomposed to HF and CO2 by the catalyst. The exhaust gas containing HF and CO2 at a high temperature exhausted from the catalyst layer is cooled in a cooling apparatus. Subsequently, the exhaust gas is conducted to an acidic gas removing apparatus to remove HF. In this way, the silicon component is removed from the exhaust gas before introducing the exhaust gas into the catalyst layer.

  • Patent number: 5977427
    Abstract: A process is provided for the destruction of organohalogen compounds, such as methyl chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc., by mixing the organohalogen compounds with a heated carrier gas, such as nitrogen, argon or air, and either steam or water to form a mixture; supplying the mixture to a catalyst, such as titanium oxide/tungsten oxide, to decompose the organohalogen compounds into halogens and hydrogen halides, such as chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fluorine and hydrofluoric acid; conducting the halogen and hydrogen halide contaminated gas through a bent path, created by a baffle that prevents the entry of mist or droplets into the catalyst chamber, into a cooling section where the halogen and hydrogen halide contaminated gas is sprayed with water to cool the gas to a temperature low enough to prevent the formation of dioxines. An alkaline agent, such as sodium hydroxide, can be added to the cooling water to neutralize the halides and hydrogen halides.
