Objective
This project wants to design and startup of a new technique in the area of the fluorchemical industry related to emission control : capture fluoride componants, oxidate them and convert them into hydrogen fluoride.
This project involves the design and the startup of a new technique in the area of the fluorchemical industry related to emission control: capture of fluoride components containing byproductstreams in the form of water and air, thermic oxidation them and conversion into hydrogen fluoride in aqueous solution by scrubbing them with water in a closed loop system. The innovative aspect of the project is mainly the conversion of byproduct processtreams of a fluorchemical process into valuable and reusable raw materials. In addition to this, the production of waste is reduced to almost zero and the use of raw materials is reduced to absolute minimum. In the typical treatment processes that are being used today, companies are complying with environmental regulations but are, in doing that, creating high amounts of secondary waste and use a high amount of basic raw materials. In this project, it is tried to eliminate as much as possible of the actual intermediate process steps, by using more straightforward chemical and physical techniques, and by doing so, leading to a better result. The sub-technologies that will be used in this process, are available on the market but are not commonly known, nor are they being applied today in the combination of the proposed process.
