“…Because of the long atmospheric lifetimes of gaseous perfluorocarbons (see ATMOSPHERIC MODELING), disposal by conversion to fluoride salts is preferred. The following methods are recommended: scrubbing with caustic solutions (117,118); reaction with solid disposal agents such as alumina, limestone, lime, and soda lime (119,120); and reaction with superheated steam (121). Scrubbing with caustic solution and, for dilute streams, reaction with limestone, are practiced on an industrial scale.…”

“…1955; Turnbull, 1947), S02 (Horton, 1965a), NH3 (Holmes, 1961), and steam (Smiley and Schmidt, 1954) has been used for fluorine disposal, but these methods produce other gaseous products which require further treatment.…”

Fluorine, the first member of the halogen family, is the most reactive nonmetal, and capable of reacting with all of the other elements, except the gases helium, neon, and argon, oxidizing most elements to their highest oxidation. Although fluorine is highly corrosive, commercial uses have been developed. The largest industrial usage for fluorine is in the production of uranium hexafluoride, which is used in the uranium enrichment process, and in the production of sulfur hexafluoride, a gaseous dielectric. Fluorine is also used to make perfluorinated materials and for surface treatment of polyolefin‐based containers. Fluorine is produced by electrolysis of molten potassium bifluoride in specially designed cells having steel or Monel cathodes and carbon anodes. The selection of the anode carbon is critical. This manufacturing process and the special equipment needed for handling fluorine are described. Most fluorine produced is used captively for synthesis.
