Low molecular weight hydrocarbons are removed from air by preheating the air and then passing the preheated air through a heated catalytic bed comprising a mixture of catalytic pellets and metal turnings. The turnings provide for uniform heating of the bed and enable the desired temperatures of the catalytic bed to be maintained with minimum expenditure of energy.

Method and apparatus for purifying air

Low molecular weight hydrocarbons are removed from air by preheating the air and then passing the preheated air through a heated catalytic bed comprising a mixture of platinized heat-conductive pellets and metal turnings. The turnings contribute to the structural rigidity and the uniform heating of the bed, as well as reducing the energy consumption required to maintain the bed at the desired temperature.
