The present invention relates to a gas processing agent for removing carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water vapor in a gas at the same time, which can maintain a high oxidation activity and have a long life time, a manufacturing method therefor and a gas purification method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a gas processing agent made of a catalyst made of an inorganic porous material layer containing at least one selected from a group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium and ruthenium, or oxides thereof and an adsorbent, and a manufacturing method therefor, a gas purifier, a gas purification method and a gas purification apparatus using the gas processing agent.

Gas processing agent and manufacturing method therefor, gas purification method, gas purifier and gas purification apparatus

A method is provided for removing water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide out of a gas, such as air, by passing the gas through a packed column so that the gas sequentially contacts a catalyst consisting of platinum or palladium and at least one member selected from the group consisting of iron, cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper, chromium, tin, lead and cerium wherein the catalyst is supported on alumina containing substantially no pores having pore diameters of 110 Angstroms or less under conditions which oxidize the carbon monoxide in the gas into carbon dioxide; an adsorbent selected from the group consisting of silica gel, activated alumina, zeolite and combinations thereof under conditions in which water is adsorbed and removed from the gas and an adsorbent selected from the group consisting of calcium ion exchanged A zeolite; calcium ion exchanged X zeolite; sodium ion exchanged X zeolite and mixtures thereof under conditions which carbon dioxide is adsorbed and removed from the gas. The gas may also be subjected to a catalyst/adsorbent in the packed column to effect oxidation and removal of hydrogen in the gas.
