In order to provide a method for the purification of a raw gas stream containing water vapour that is simple and cost-efficient to perform, it is proposed that the method should comprise the following: feeding the raw gas stream to a reforming region in which contaminants in the raw gas stream react chemically with the water vapour in the raw gas stream, as a result of which a reformed raw gas stream is obtained; feeding the reformed raw gas stream and an oxidising agent stream to an oxidation region in which constituent parts of the reformed raw gas stream react chemically with oxidising agent of the oxidising agent stream, as a result of which a clean gas stream is obtained. Moreover, optionally a closed-loop control of the oxygen content is provided. Further, it is optionally provided for the clean gas stream to be fed to a condenser, as a result of which the volumetric flow of the clean gas stream is reduced and/or as a result of which energy can be recovered and used for pre-heating the oxidising agent and for other production processes.

Method for purifying a raw gas stream and purification device

A method for separating impurities from process exhaust air is provided and includes the steps of passing a process exhaust air through a separating device comprising a separation unit, regenerating the separating device by passing a regeneration stream therethrough, where outer lateral surfaces of the separation unit are continuously loaded by the process exhaust air and the regeneration stream, dividing the regeneration stream passing through the separating device during regeneration into a first partial stream having an impurity concentration less than a first predetermined limit, and a second partial stream having an impurity concentration equal to or greater than a second predetermined limit, where the second predetermined limit is equal to or greater than the first predetermined limit, returning the first partial stream generated during regeneration to the separating device and directing the second partial stream generated during regeneration to a cleaning device.

Method and regenerative separating apparatus for separating contaminants from process exhaust air

A method for separating organic solvents from solvent-containing process exhaust air, where the process exhaust air is directed through a separation zone of a separating device, and the separating device is regenerated by passing a regeneration stream through a regeneration zone of the separating device. The regeneration stream passing through the separating device is divided into a first partial stream having an impurity concentration less than a first predetermined limit, and a second partial stream having an impurity concentration equal or greater than a second predetermined limit, by a divider, where the second predetermined limit is equal to or greater than the first predetermined limit, to return the first partial stream generated during regeneration to the separating device and direct the second partial stream generated during regeneration to a cleaning device.
