Abstract
Selective separation and recovery of gaseous components of hot waste gas of combustion containing carbon dioxide is attained by causing the hot waste gas to contact an adsorbent containing as a substantial main component thereof an inorganic solid substance exhibiting surface basicity and inducing adsorption of the gaseous components of the hot waste gas on the adsorbent and then selectively separating the adsorbed gaseous components by virtue of differences in retention time among the gaseous components on the adsorbent.
Claims2
A method for the separation and recovery of gaseous components inclusive of carbon dioxide from a hot waste gas of combustion comprising the steps of:
- contacting said hot waste gas to an adsorbent comprising europium oxide;
- adsorbing said gaseous components onto said adsorbent;
- and
- selectively separating and recovering adsorbed gaseous components by virtue of differences in retention times among said gaseous components on said adsorbent;
- wherein the temperature of said hot waste gas is in the range of 1001.degree. to 1000.degree. C.
