A halogenated organic compound is introduced into a plasma. In the plasma state, substances are very reactive and chemical substances which are not readily decomposed such as halogenated organic compounds are decomposed in a short time. Specifically, in a high-temperature plasma exceeding 10,000.degree. C., almost all molecules are considered to dissociate into atoms. A reactive substance such as water is introduced into a plasma together with a halogenated organic compound. The decomposed halogenated organic compound is caused to react with the reactive substance, for preventing the decomposed organic compound from returning to its original state.

Apparatus for decomposing halogenated organic compound

A mixed gas is contacted with a non-carbonaceous adsorbent while irradiating the adsorbent with an electromagnetic wave having a frequency of 1 MHz to 25 GHz, such as a microwave, so that a gas component having a smaller coefficient of dielectric loss is selectively adsorbed by the adsorbent. A gas adsorbed on an adsorbent may be desorbed therefrom by contact with a desorbing gas while irradiating the adsorbent with the above electromagnetic wave.
