METHOD AND APPARATUS OF DECOMPOSING FLUORINATED ORGANIC COMPOUND

摘要

A method of decomposing a fluorinated organic compound involves irradiating a target fluorinated organic compound with light in the presence of electrolyzed sulfuric acid. In detail, the inventive method involves adding electrolyzed sulfuric acid prepared by electrolysis of an aqueous sulfuric acid solution at an anode to a solution containing the target fluorinated organic compound and irradiating the solution with light to decompose the fluorinated organic compound into fluoride ions and carbon dioxide. The method can decompose fluorinated organic compounds at reduced decomposition energy, without high-temperature incineration that has been conventionally required. An apparatus for decomposing a fluorinated organic compound is also provided that is utilizable in practicing the method.
