Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily obtain a product by bringing a gas containing CO as main component and a small quantity of H2 into contact with an adsorbent to remove water content therefrom, and bringing it into contact with a catalyst to remove H2 under heating. CONSTITUTION:A gaseous starting material 1, such as a blast furnace gas containing CO as main component and 10 to 5000ppm H2 is pressurized by compression and after cooling to about 30 deg.C, it is fed to a water removing adsorption tower 2 packed with silica gel, etc., to obtain a gas 1 of <=10ppm water content. Next, after the gas 1 is heated to 150 to 300 deg.C by a gaseous CO heater 3, it is introduced into a catalyst tower 4 packed with a catalyst consisting of Ni, etc., carried on SiO2 to remove H2 from the gas 1 to produce a purified gas 7. As the need arises, a gaseous N2 5 is heated to about 300 deg.C by an electric heater 6 and is introduced into the water-removing adsorption tower 2 to regenerate the adsorbent.
