Abstract
Fluorine compounds such as CF, CF, CHF, SFand NF, are made to contact with a fluorine compound decomposition catalyst and a catalyst for the decomposition of at least one of CO, SOFand NO in the presence of water or in the presence of water and oxygen. The catalyst for the decomposition of at least one of CO, SOFand NO preferably contains at least one selected from Pd, Pt, Cu, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Ir and Au in the form of a metal or an oxide. According to the invention, the fluorine compound can be converted to HF, which can be absorbed by water or an alkaline aqueous solution. Furthermore, a substance such as CO, SOFand NO which is formed by decomposition of the fluorine compound can also be decomposed.
