To develop a dry process of decomposition, fixation and resource-reconversion of SF₆ gas, which has a global warming potential (GWP) of 23, 900 times that of CO₂, the high-temperature decomposition of SF₆ gas without steam (the basic requirement for dry process fixation technology development) was examined. The gaseous decomposition products were further reacted with calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, and the purity of the fluorides obtained was examined.<BR> It was found that 99% or more of the SF₆ gas could be decomposed at or below temperatures of 1000°C by adding hydrogen gas. Furthermore, the decomposition reaction rate of SF₆ gas could be evaluated with a first-order rate equation of SF₆ gas concentration, and the apparent rate constant could be determined. In addition, the frequency factor (2.08×10³s^-1) and the activation energy (8.314×10⁴J/mol) for decomposition of SF₆ gas were calculated from an Arrhenius plot of the rate constants. It was also confirmed that the decomposition products HF and H₂S could be separated and fixed by a gas solid reaction with calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate, and the products formed were of sufficient purity for easy re-use (CaF₂: 98% or more and NaF: 99% or more).
