The raw material inert gas is led from the supply path 4 to the reaction tube 1 heated by the heater H, comes into contact with the catalyst, and hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, oxygen and hydrogen, which are impure components in the gas, react with each other to produce carbon dioxide gas. After having been converted to water, it exits from the outlet 3, is cooled by the cooler C, and enters the purification column A from the gas inlet 6a via the flow path 5a. The gas that has entered the purification column A first contacts the catalyst 8 such as Ni, where residual oxygen and trace amounts of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide remaining in an unreacted state are captured.
Next, the carbon dioxide gas generated by the reaction when the gas comes into contact with the zinc oxide-based adsorbent 9 is adsorbed and removed together with the carbon dioxide gas originally contained in the raw material gas. Most of the water is also removed at this stage, but it is more sufficiently removed by contact with the synthetic zeolite-based adsorbent 10.

The purification tube B is heated by the heater H, and the hydrogen gas is supplied to the purification tube B from the outlet 7b via the passage 15b while supplying and mixing the hydrogen gas alone from the regeneration gas supply passage 16 or the purified gas from the passage 17 and mixing. By the supply, the carbon dioxide gas and water adsorbed by the synthetic zeolite-based adsorbent 10 and the zinc oxide-based adsorbent 9 are desorbed, and subsequently the oxygen trapped by the Ni-based catalyst 8 reacts with hydrogen. The water is then converted to water, is separated at the same time as other carbon-based trace impurities, and is discharged together with the regeneration gas from the discharge passage 12 through the inlet 6b of the purification cylinder and the flow passages 5b and 11b. Subsequently, by flowing only the purified gas, the adsorbent is sufficiently regenerated, and the inside of the system is replaced with a purified gas to prepare for the next purification step.
