Carbide-derived carbons are provided that have high dynamic loading capacity for high vapor pressure gasses such as H.sub.2S, SO.sub.2, or NH.sub.3. The carbide-derived carbons can have a plurality of metal chloride or metallic nanoparticles entrapped therein. Carbide-derived carbons are provided by extracting a metal from a metal carbide by chlorination of the metal carbide to produce a porous carbon framework having residual metal chloride nanoparticles incorporated therein, and annealing the porous carbon framework with H.sub.2 to remove residual chloride by reducing the metal chloride nanoparticles to produce the metallic nanoparticles entrapped within the porous carbon framework. The metals can include Fe, Co, Mo, or a combination thereof. The carbide-derived carbons are provided with an ammonia dynamic loading capacity of 6.9 mmol g.sup.1 to 10 mmol g.sup.1 at a relative humidity of 0% RH to 75% RH.

A fluorination catalyst such as a chromium oxide-based fluorination catalyst may be activated or reactivated by contacting the catalyst. with a source of reactive fluorine, for example nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) or fluorine (F2). Fluorinated compounds may be prepared by the gas phase reaction of hydrogen fluoride (HF) with various substrates such as chlorinated compounds. A number of metal oxide-based catalysts have been developed for this purpose.

The present invention relates to a method for fluorinating a chlorinated compound including the steps of (a) placing said chlorinated compound in contact with gaseous hydrogen fluoride within a reactor and in the presence of a fluorination catalyst to produce a fluorinated compound, and (b) regenerating the fluorination catalyst used in step a), the step of regenerating the fluorination catalyst including (c) treating said fluorination catalyst with an oxidizing agent to form an oxidized fluorination catalyst, and (d) treating the oxidized fluorination catalyst obtained in step (c) with a gas mixture including a reducing agent.
