1. A column tank that handles volatile organic substances is purged with an inert gas to maintain a safe oxygen concentration in the upper space of the column tank, and is purged along with the purge of the inert gas. In the method of separating the organic vapor-containing inert gas passed through the separation membrane module into the organic vapor and the inert gas, and releasing the inert gas to the atmosphere while recovering the organic substance, the separated inert gas-rich gas A column tank is provided which is provided with a pipe for recirculating a part of the gas into the column tank, and the reflux amount of the inert gas rich gas and the amount released into the atmosphere are adjusted so that the upper space pressure in the column tank is constant. Exhaust gas treatment method.
