A process for removal of organic impurities from a gas mixture is disclosed for removing most of the impurities from the gas mixture in an economical way. The gas to be purified is subjected to two successive purification stages, in which the impurities still remaining in the gas to be purified after the first purification stage are burned in a second purification stage and the released energy thus is used for operating the first purification stage.

In an oscillating valve in which a slide plate is subjected to a swinging movement between an opening position in which it is clear of a flow passage and a closing position in which it is inserted in the flow path, and, in its closing position, is applied against a sealing surface by a sealing force to block the flow path, a single drive device is provided to produce both the swinging movement and the sealing force and the sealing force is produced by moving the slide plate perpendicular to the sealing surface only after the slide plate has reached the closing position associated with its swinging movement.

In the dispensing of gasoline into a tank used for the storage or transportation of gasoline wherein the gasoline displaces a gaseous mixture of air and gasoline, and said mixture is treated to a recovery step to separate said gasoline from said mixture, there is provided an improvement in the recovery step which comprises cooling said mixture to condense out the gasoline and water from the air thereby purifying the air, and then separating the water from the gasoline. One or two main heat exchangers can be employed depending on whether the system is operated continuously or not. A short regeneration time is made possible by the use of steam which expands the heat exchange tubes sufficiently to remove ice cleanly. An absorber using activated carbon is optionally employed in addition to the removal of the gasoline by cooling.
