Materials and methods for mitigating the effects of halide species contained in process streams are provided. A halide-containing process stream can be contacted with mitigation materials comprising active metal oxides and a non-acidic high surface area carrier combined with a solid, porous substrate. The halide species in the process stream can be reacted with the mitigation material to produce neutralized halide salts and a process stream that is essentially halide-free. The neutralized salts can be attracted and retained on the solid, porous substrate.

Disclosed is a process for treating a gas stream containing hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, a fluorinated compound and halogenated organic compounds, wherein the gas stream is subjected to: (a) a step of washing with an acid solution to obtain a washed gas stream; (b) a step of adiabatic absorption in an aqueous solution of the hydrochloric acid contained in said washed gas stream, to collect a solution of hydrochloric acid; (c) a step of adsorption on activated carbon of the impurities present in said hydrochloric acid solution, to obtain a purified hydrochloric acid solution and a gas stream containing said fluorinated compound; and (d) a step of bringing said purified hydrochloric acid solution into contact with a silica gel. Also disclosed is a plant for the implementation of this process, and also a process for preparing a fluorinated compound comprising the catalytic pyrolysis of an organofluorine compound.
