A METHOD FOR TREATING ORGANOHALOGEN COMPOUND, AND AN APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

A method for treating an organohalogen compound by destroying the compound harmlessly supplies the organohalogen compound, a carrier gas such as air, and steam in controlled amounts. These gases are heated to a temperature in a designated range by combustion of hydrocarbon fuel. The exhaust gas after catalytic destruction is cooled in a container having the catalyst. This exhaust gas passes through apparatus for treating undestroyed organohalogen compound by adsorption. The exhaust gas is desorbed and recovered during the operation of the catalyst, and the undestroyed compound is destroyed by the catalyst. The arrangement increases the efficiency of the destruction of organohalogen compounds and the durability of the apparatus employed.
