Abstract
A destruction equipment system for fluorocarbon compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons, which are known to be both ozone depleting and global warming substances, has been developed. This system destructs fluorocarbon compounds with a dry process using solid alkali, and has the feature without necessitating a liquid waste treatment process. Four kinds of fluorocarbons such as CFC12, HCFC22, HFC134a and SF_6 were destructed with practical scale treatment. These fluorocarbons were destructed quiet enough with the system, and the experimental results were quite satisfied with the national criterion. The destruction treatment temperatures of the system were lower than those using combustion, which was typical destruction method for fluorocarbon compounds.
