Abstract

The invention relates to the preparation of BF3 and H2SO4 of commercial grade from boron trifluoride hydrate effluents containing organic impurities. The process consists essentially in reacting the said effluent with oleum, in recovering the gaseous boron trifluoride thereby liberated and in subjecting the sulphuric acid by-product to treatment with hydrogen peroxide and to purging with air.
