Verfahren zur Behandlung von Gasströmen

摘要

Purifying a gas flow of at least one of the impurities it carries comprises subjecting the gas flow to at least one of the following stages: (a) compressing the gas flow to a pressure greater than atmospheric; (b) placing in contact with at least a first bed of particles of a material containing at least one metal peroxide; and (c) contacting the gas flow from (b) with at least a second bed of at least one catalyst. Also claimed is an apparatus for carrying out the above process, comprising a device for compressing the gas, at least one catalytic zone containing the first and second beds, with the first bed upstream of the second, and at least one purification zone to eliminate the oxidised impurities or residues.
