Abatement of F2 using small particle fluidized bed

Not applicable. A process for destroying fluorine in a gas containing such fluorine by contacting the gas with a fluidized bed of metal particles capable of reacting with such fluorine wherein the metal particles have a particle size essentially no greater than approximately 300 microns. The process can be conducted in parallel connected switching fluidized beds wherein the beds are switched based upon achieving a predetermined bed height expansion based upon the reaction of the metal particles with such fluorine.
