Method for the Treatment of Exhaust Gases Containing Organosilicon Components or Accompanying Substances, and Apparatus Therefor

An apparatus for treatment of an exhaust gas which contains organosilicon compounds, comprising:

• at least one regenerator;
• a heat storage material at least a portion of which is in the form of bulk material which forms a bed in the at least one regenerator;
• means for removing at least a portion of said bulk material of said bed from said regenerator after adhesions are formed on said bulk material from oxidation of said organosilicon compounds;
• means for removing adhesions from said at least a portion of said bulk material;
• and
• means for re-introducing the at least a portion of said bulk material into the regenerator to refill the bed after adhesions are removed from said at least a portion of said bulk material.

A system for handling exhaust gases that contain organosilicon compounds, comprising:

• one or more regenerators which receive exhaust gases containing organosilicon compounds, wherein at least one of said one or more regenerators includes a heat storage material at least a portion of which is in the form of a bulk material which forms a bed in the at least one of said one or more regenerators;
• a discharge for said at least one of said one or more regenerators which discharges at least a portion of said bulk material of said bed from said at least one of said one or more regenerators, said discharge being operable after adhesions are formed on said bulk material from oxidation of said organosilicon compounds;
• an adhesion remover which receives said at least a portion of said bulk material from said discharge, and removes said adhesions formed on said bulk material;
• and
• a feed for recycling said at least a portion of said bulk material from said adhesion remove to at least one of said one or more regenerators.
