A system and process for the recovery of at least one halogenated hydrocarbon from a gas stream. The recovery includes adsorption by exposing the gas stream to an adsorbent with a lattice structure having pore diameters with an average pore opening of between about 5 and about 50 angstroms. The adsorbent is then regenerated by exposing the adsorbent to a purge gas under conditions which efficiently desorb the at least one adsorbed halogenated hydrocarbon from the adsorbent. The at least one halogenated hydrocarbon (and impurities or reaction products) can be condensed from the purge gas and subjected to fractional distillation to provide a recovered halogenated hydrocarbon.
An adsorbent for adsorbing a halogenated hydrocarbon, the adsorbent comprising:
2-3. (canceled)
5-11. (canceled)
A process for the recovery of at least one halogenated hydrocarbon from a gas stream, the process comprising:
13-21. (canceled)
23-37. (canceled)
39-40. (canceled)
44-45. (canceled)
47-55. (canceled)
A process for purifying a halogenated anesthetic from a mixture of condensed halogenated anesthetics, the process comprising:
57-64. (canceled)
An adsorbent system for adsorbing at least one anesthetic, the adsorbent system comprising:
66-74. (canceled)
76-79. (canceled)
81-87. (canceled)
Use of an adsorbent for the adsorption of an inhalation anesthetic, the adsorbent comprising an organophillic pore lattice structure with pore diameters large enough to permit molecules of the anesthetic to pass therethrough and be adsorbed in internal cavities of the adsorbent.
89-99. (canceled)
A sensor for detecting the presence of halogenated hydrocarbons in a gas stream, the sensor comprising:
