Abstract
Phosphorus in vapor form and phosphanes are separated from gas mixtures which consist of carbon monoxide, with or without hydrogen, nitrogen and steam. Concerned are more particularly the off-gases of phosphorus-producing furnaces. To this end, the gas mixture is admixed with at least the stoichiometric amount of oxygen and/or of oxygen-containing gases necessary to achieve conversion of the total phosphorus contained in the gas mixture to oxidation level V. The resulting mixture is introduced into a reaction zone maintained at a temperature within the range 200.degree. to 700.degree. C. and allowed to remain therein over a period of 0.5 to 20 seconds. Resulting phosphorus-V compounds are finally separated from the gas mixture.
