Meanwhile, a gaseous fluorine removing agent is continuously blown into the solution, and the gaseous fluorine removing agent can react with fluorine in the solution to precipitate the fluorine; in addition, by utilizing the property that gaseous mixed chlorinating agent enters the solution and is rapidly released heat when being hydrolyzed when meeting water, partial defluorinating agent forms colloidal defluorinating agent with extremely fine particles and high surface activity in the fluorine-containing solution so as to further remove fluorine in the solution. In addition, because the gas and the liquid can be fully mixed, the gas can be introduced to play a role in stirring, so that the explosive hydrolysis nucleation generation of the adsorbent with the high specific surface area can be realized, the adsorbent can immediately adsorb fluorine in the solution, the adsorbent for adsorbing fluorine can be used as a crystal nucleus for chloride hydrolysis to generate a fresh adsorbent, the fluorine is continuously adsorbed, and the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent is greatly improved.
