Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for removing an organic solvent in a gas to be treated containing an organic solvent, which is generated in a factory or the like.
  • This removal method and removal apparatus can be suitably used when removing a solvent from a gas to be treated having a relatively small flow rate containing a relatively high concentration low boiling point organic solvent.
  • An exhaust gas from a cleaning apparatus, a film coater apparatus, or the like in an electronic device manufacturing factory, a metal processing factory, or the like usually contains an organic solvent having a relatively low boiling point such as methylene chloride or trichlorethylene.
  • an organic solvent having a relatively low boiling point such as methylene chloride or trichlorethylene.
  • a solvent removal apparatus described below is known as an apparatus for removing an organic solvent from exhaust gas.
  • This apparatus has an adsorption process and a desorption process, and these processes are alternately switched to remove the organic solvent.
  • the organic solvent in the exhaust gas is adsorbed on the adsorbent and switched to the desorption process before the adsorbent adsorbed amount reaches saturation.
  • the adsorbent is regenerated by desorbing the organic solvent from the adsorbent using water vapor, and the desorbed organic solvent is recovered. The regenerated adsorbent is used again in the adsorption process.
  • ACF activated carbon fiber
  • ACF has a higher drying rate than conventional adsorbents. Since the conventional adsorbent has a low drying rate, it is necessary to add an adsorbent drying step after the desorption step with water vapor. On the other hand, as described above, ACF has a higher drying rate than the conventional adsorbent. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a separate ACF drying step after the desorption step. In other words, using the gas to be processed, the adsorption of the organic solvent and the drying of the ACF can be performed simultaneously in the process of adsorbing the gas to be processed. As a result, when ACF is used as the adsorbent, it is not necessary to provide an ACF drying step substantially independently, and there is an advantage that it can be omitted.
  • the amount of ACF used increases in proportion to the amount of the organic solvent to be treated.
  • the flow rate of the gas to be processed relative to the amount of ACF used is relatively small. In this case, drying of the adsorbent performed simultaneously with the adsorption in the adsorption process becomes insufficient, and ACF containing a certain amount of moisture is used in the adsorption process. Since the ACF in this state has a reduced adsorption efficiency, there is a problem that the content of the organic solvent contained in the exhaust gas discharged from the solvent removal device becomes high.
  • Patent Document 1 a method of diluting a gas to be treated containing a high concentration organic solvent with outside air as described in Patent Document 1 is generally employed.
  • drying of the adsorbent in the adsorption process is promoted by the gas to be treated whose flow rate is increased by dilution with outside air.
  • the saturated adsorption amount of the organic solvent to the adsorbent is proportional to the concentration of the organic solvent contained in the gas to be treated, as will be described later. Therefore, the method of diluting the gas to be treated containing a high-concentration organic solvent with the outside air has a problem that the processing efficiency is lowered.
  • Patent Document 2 discloses a method of providing a drying step between the desorption step and the adsorption step.
  • each process is sequentially performed using three adsorption cans filled with the same amount of adsorbent in parallel.
  • equipment cost increases as a result of an increase in the amount of adsorbent used.

Since the organic solvent removal apparatus of the present invention has the above configuration, the ACF in the second adsorption tank can be dried with a relatively small amount of gas in the adsorption step. As a result, the organic solvent concentration in the second adsorption tank processing gas can be reliably controlled to a low concentration of 100 ppm or less.

Description

有機溶剤の除去方法、及び除去装置Method and apparatus for removing organic solvent
本発明は、工場等において発生する、有機溶剤を含む被処理ガス中の有機溶剤の除去方法及び除去装置に関する。本除去方法、及び除去装置は、比較的高濃度の低沸点有機溶剤を含む比較的小流量の被処理ガスから溶剤を除去する場合に好適に使用できる。 The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for removing an organic solvent in a gas to be treated containing an organic solvent, which is generated in a factory or the like. This removal method and removal apparatus can be suitably used when removing a solvent from a gas to be treated having a relatively small flow rate containing a relatively high concentration low boiling point organic solvent.
電子機器製造工場、金属加工工場等における洗浄装置、フィルムコーター装置等の排ガスの中には、塩化メチレン、トリクロロエチレン等の比較的沸点の低い有機溶剤が通常含まれている。これらの有機溶剤を含有する排ガスを、そのまま大気中に放出すると、環境汚染を引き起こすので、通常大気中に放出する前に溶剤の除去処理が行われる。 An exhaust gas from a cleaning apparatus, a film coater apparatus, or the like in an electronic device manufacturing factory, a metal processing factory, or the like usually contains an organic solvent having a relatively low boiling point such as methylene chloride or trichlorethylene. When exhaust gases containing these organic solvents are released into the atmosphere as they are, environmental pollution is caused. Therefore, the solvent is usually removed before being released into the atmosphere.
 従来、排ガスから有機溶剤を除去する装置として、以下に記載する溶剤除去装置が知られている。この装置は、吸着工程と、脱着工程とを有し、これら工程を交互に切替えて有機溶剤を除去する。 Conventionally, a solvent removal apparatus described below is known as an apparatus for removing an organic solvent from exhaust gas. This apparatus has an adsorption process and a desorption process, and these processes are alternately switched to remove the organic solvent.
 吸着工程においては、排ガス中の有機溶剤を吸着材に吸着させ、吸着材の吸着量が飽和に達する前に脱着工程に切替える。脱着工程においては、水蒸気を用いて吸着材から有機溶剤を脱着させることにより吸着材を再生すると共に、脱着させた有機溶剤を回収する。再生した吸着材は、再度吸着工程において使用する。 In the adsorption process, the organic solvent in the exhaust gas is adsorbed on the adsorbent and switched to the desorption process before the adsorbent adsorbed amount reaches saturation. In the desorption step, the adsorbent is regenerated by desorbing the organic solvent from the adsorbent using water vapor, and the desorbed organic solvent is recovered. The regenerated adsorbent is used again in the adsorption process.
 有機溶剤の吸着に用いる吸着材としては、活性炭素繊維(ACF)がある。ACFは、活性炭等の従来の吸着材に比べて溶剤の吸脱着速度の大きいので、好ましい吸着材である。 As an adsorbent used for adsorption of an organic solvent, there is activated carbon fiber (ACF). ACF is a preferred adsorbent because it has a higher solvent adsorption / desorption rate than conventional adsorbents such as activated carbon.
 更に、従来の吸着材と比べて、ACFは、乾燥速度が大きい。従来の吸着材は、乾燥速度が小さいので、水蒸気による脱着工程の後に、吸着材の乾燥工程を付加する必要がある。一方、前述のように従来の吸着材と比べて、ACFは、乾燥速度が大きい。従って、脱着工程の後のACFの乾燥工程を独立して設ける必要が無い。即ち、被処理ガスを利用して、被処理ガスの吸着工程において、有機溶剤の吸着とACFの乾燥とを同時に行うことができる。その結果、吸着材としてACFを用いる場合には、実質的にACFの乾燥工程を独立して設ける必要が無く、省略できる利点がある。 Furthermore, ACF has a higher drying rate than conventional adsorbents. Since the conventional adsorbent has a low drying rate, it is necessary to add an adsorbent drying step after the desorption step with water vapor. On the other hand, as described above, ACF has a higher drying rate than the conventional adsorbent. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a separate ACF drying step after the desorption step. In other words, using the gas to be processed, the adsorption of the organic solvent and the drying of the ACF can be performed simultaneously in the process of adsorbing the gas to be processed. As a result, when ACF is used as the adsorbent, it is not necessary to provide an ACF drying step substantially independently, and there is an advantage that it can be omitted.
 しかし、高濃度の有機溶剤を含む小流量の被処理ガスから有機溶剤を除去する場合、処理すべき有機溶剤の量に比例してACFの使用量は増加する。更に、高濃度の有機溶剤を含む小流量の被処理ガスを処理する場合、ACFの使用量に対する被処理ガスの流量が相対的に少なくなる。この場合は、吸着工程で吸着と同時に行われる吸着材の乾燥が不充分になり、ある程度水分を含む状態のACFが吸着工程において使用されることになる。この状態のACFは、吸着効率が低下しているので、溶剤除去装置から排出される排出ガスに含まれる有機溶剤の含有量が高くなる問題がある。 However, when the organic solvent is removed from the gas having a small flow rate containing a high concentration organic solvent, the amount of ACF used increases in proportion to the amount of the organic solvent to be treated. Further, when processing a small amount of gas to be processed containing a high-concentration organic solvent, the flow rate of the gas to be processed relative to the amount of ACF used is relatively small. In this case, drying of the adsorbent performed simultaneously with the adsorption in the adsorption process becomes insufficient, and ACF containing a certain amount of moisture is used in the adsorption process. Since the ACF in this state has a reduced adsorption efficiency, there is a problem that the content of the organic solvent contained in the exhaust gas discharged from the solvent removal device becomes high.
 この問題を改善するために、特許文献1に記載されるような、高濃度有機溶剤を含む被処理ガスを外気で希釈する方法が一般的に採用されている。この方法は、外気で希釈することによって流量を増大させた被処理ガスによって、吸着工程にある吸着材の乾燥を促進させる方法である。 In order to improve this problem, a method of diluting a gas to be treated containing a high concentration organic solvent with outside air as described in Patent Document 1 is generally employed. In this method, drying of the adsorbent in the adsorption process is promoted by the gas to be treated whose flow rate is increased by dilution with outside air.
 しかし、吸着材に対する有機溶剤の飽和吸着量は、後述のように、被処理ガスに含まれる有機溶剤の濃度に比例する。従って、高濃度の有機溶剤を含む被処理ガスを外気により希釈する方法は、処理効率の低下の問題がある。 However, the saturated adsorption amount of the organic solvent to the adsorbent is proportional to the concentration of the organic solvent contained in the gas to be treated, as will be described later. Therefore, the method of diluting the gas to be treated containing a high-concentration organic solvent with the outside air has a problem that the processing efficiency is lowered.
 特許文献2には、脱着工程と吸着工程の間に乾燥工程を設ける方法が開示されている。しかし、この方法においては、同量の吸着材を充填した吸着缶を並列に3つ使用して順次各工程を行うことになる。この場合は、使用する吸着材の量が増加する結果、設備コストが増加する問題がある。

Patent Document 2 discloses a method of providing a drying step between the desorption step and the adsorption step. However, in this method, each process is sequentially performed using three adsorption cans filled with the same amount of adsorbent in parallel. In this case, there is a problem that equipment cost increases as a result of an increase in the amount of adsorbent used.

[4] A method for removing an organic solvent in a gas to be treated using the organic solvent removing apparatus according to [1],
By supplying the gas to be treated containing 3000 ppm or more of the organic solvent to the first adsorption tank and adsorbing the organic solvent to the activated carbon fiber filled therein, and drying the condensed water contained in the activated carbon fiber, A first adsorption tank treatment gas containing moisture and an organic solvent of 500 ppm or less is obtained, and then the first adsorption tank treatment gas is supplied to a condenser to condense and separate the moisture in the first adsorption tank treatment gas. And the first adsorption tank processing gas from which the moisture has been separated is supplied to the second adsorption tank, and the activated carbon fiber filled in the second adsorption tank contains the organic solvent contained in the first adsorption tank processing gas. An adsorption step of discharging the second adsorption tank processing gas having an organic solvent concentration of 100 ppm or less to the outside by drying the moisture contained in the activated carbon fiber.
After the supply of the gas to be processed to be supplied to the first adsorption tank is stopped, steam is supplied into the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank by the steam injection means, and the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank are filled. Activated carbon fibers containing condensed water produced by the condensation of the supplied steam by desorbing the organic solvent adsorbed by each activated carbon fiber being adsorbed to each activated carbon fiber adsorbing the organic solvent And a desorption step of regenerating and taking out the desorbed organic solvent out of the system,

 本発明の有機溶剤の除去装置は、吸着材として乾燥速度の大きいACFを採用し、更には前記第1吸着槽と第2吸着槽とを連結する連結管に凝縮器を備えて、第1吸着槽が排出する水蒸気を外部に排出している。本発明の有機溶剤の除去装置は、上記構成を有するので、吸着工程において比較的少量のガスで、第2吸着槽のACFを乾燥できる。その結果、第2吸着槽処理ガス中の有機溶剤濃度を確実に100ppm以下の低濃度に制御できる。 The organic solvent removal apparatus of the present invention employs ACF having a high drying rate as an adsorbent, and further includes a condenser in a connecting pipe that connects the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank.

以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明を詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
  図1は、被処理ガスに含まれる有機溶剤(塩化メチレン)濃度と、ACFに吸着する有機溶剤の飽和吸着量との関係を示すグラフ(等温吸着曲線)である。 FIG. 1 is a graph (isothermal adsorption curve) showing the relationship between the concentration of the organic solvent (methylene chloride) contained in the gas to be treated and the saturated adsorption amount of the organic solvent adsorbed on the ACF.
 図1に示すように、ACFに吸着する有機溶剤の飽和吸着量は、被処理ガスに含まれる有機溶剤濃度に比例する。即ち、高濃度の有機溶剤を含有する被処理ガスの場合に、ACFは高い飽和吸着率を示し、高い吸着処理効率が期待できる。例えば、吸着材として比表面積1500m/gのフェノール系ACFを使用する場合を考える。この場合、塩化メチレン濃度が5000ppm以上、好ましくは10000~100000ppmの被処理ガスに対するACFの飽和吸着量は35%以上が見込める。 As shown in FIG. 1, the saturated adsorption amount of the organic solvent adsorbed on the ACF is proportional to the concentration of the organic solvent contained in the gas to be processed. That is, in the case of a gas to be treated containing a high concentration organic solvent, ACF exhibits a high saturation adsorption rate, and a high adsorption treatment efficiency can be expected. For example, consider the case where a phenolic ACF having a specific surface area of 1500 m 2 / g is used as the adsorbent. In this case, the saturated adsorption amount of ACF for a gas to be treated having a methylene chloride concentration of 5000 ppm or more, preferably 10,000 to 100,000 ppm can be expected to be 35% or more.
 以下、下記、吸着工程と、脱着工程とを交互に繰返す、有機溶剤の除去方法について考える。
脱着工程: ACFが充填されている吸着槽にスチームを供給して、ACFに吸着されている有機溶剤を脱着除去する工程、
吸着工程: 前記スチームを供給して有機溶剤を脱着除去したACFに被処理ガスを供給することにより、前記脱着工程においてスチームが凝縮して生成する水により湿潤状態にあるACFを乾燥させながら、被処理ガス中の有機溶剤を、一部湿潤状態にあるACFに吸着させる工程、
上記の、一部湿潤状態にあるACFを用いる有機溶剤の除去方法にあっては、吸着工程は、ACFの乾燥と、有機溶剤の吸着が同時に行われるので、吸着現象は複雑である。この吸着工程は、通常の乾燥したACFを用いる場合の吸着現象とは異なる現象が起きる。 以下、この点について詳述する。
Hereinafter, a method for removing an organic solvent in which an adsorption process and a desorption process described below are alternately repeated will be considered.
Desorption process: a process of supplying steam to an adsorption tank filled with ACF to desorb and remove the organic solvent adsorbed on ACF;
Adsorption step: By supplying the gas to be treated to the ACF from which the organic solvent has been desorbed and removed by supplying the steam, while the ACF in a wet state is dried by the water generated by the condensation of steam in the desorption step, A step of adsorbing an organic solvent in the processing gas to the ACF that is partially wet;
In the method for removing an organic solvent using ACF that is partially wet as described above, the adsorption process is complicated because the drying of the ACF and the adsorption of the organic solvent are performed simultaneously. In this adsorption process, a phenomenon different from the adsorption phenomenon in the case of using normal dry ACF occurs. Hereinafter, this point will be described in detail.
 ACFを用いて被処理ガスから有機溶剤を吸着除去する場合、一般に、被処理ガス中の有機溶剤の濃度が高くなると、吸着すべき有機溶剤の量が増加するので、ACFの使用量は増加する。この場合は、ACFの使用量に対する被処理ガスの流量は相対的に少なくなる。その結果、吸着工程において、湿潤状態のACFを乾燥させるのに必要な被処理ガス流量が不足し、ACFの水分乾燥が不十分になる。この場合は、特に吸着工程の初期における有機溶剤の吸着効率が低下してしまう。 When an organic solvent is adsorbed and removed from a gas to be treated using ACF, generally, when the concentration of the organic solvent in the gas to be treated increases, the amount of the organic solvent to be adsorbed increases, so the amount of ACF used increases. . In this case, the flow rate of the gas to be processed relative to the amount of ACF used is relatively small. As a result, in the adsorption step, the flow rate of the gas to be processed necessary for drying the wet ACF is insufficient, and the moisture drying of the ACF is insufficient. In this case, the adsorption efficiency of the organic solvent particularly in the initial stage of the adsorption step is lowered.
 即ち、上記吸着工程と脱着工程を交互に行う有機溶剤の除去方法に使用するACFの有機溶剤飽和吸着量とACFの含水量との間には、ある平衡関係が存在する。その結果、ACFの含水量と、吸着槽の出口から排出される処理ガス中の有機溶剤濃度は、平衡値に保たれる。 That is, there is a certain equilibrium relationship between the saturated adsorption amount of organic solvent of ACF and the water content of ACF used in the organic solvent removal method in which the adsorption step and the desorption step are alternately performed. As a result, the water content of ACF and the concentration of the organic solvent in the processing gas discharged from the outlet of the adsorption tank are maintained at an equilibrium value.
 従来の有機溶剤処理方法においては、被処理ガスに希釈ガスを混合し、被処理ガスに含まれる有機溶剤濃度を5000ppm未満、実際には1000ppm以下の低濃度にした後、これを有機溶剤吸着槽に導入している。この操作により、ACFを乾燥させるのに必要な被処理ガスの流量を得ると共に、有機溶剤吸着槽の出口における有機溶剤濃度を低く保っている。この場合、吸着材の飽和吸着量は、図1を参照すれば18%程度に低下している。即ち、上記従来法においては、有機溶剤濃度を低くして被処理ガスを処理しているので、ACFの吸着量をわざわざ半分程度に低下させて使用していることになる。 In the conventional organic solvent treatment method, a dilution gas is mixed with the gas to be treated, and the concentration of the organic solvent contained in the gas to be treated is reduced to less than 5000 ppm, and actually less than 1000 ppm. Has been introduced. By this operation, the flow rate of the gas to be processed required for drying the ACF is obtained, and the organic solvent concentration at the outlet of the organic solvent adsorption tank is kept low. In this case, the saturated adsorption amount of the adsorbent is reduced to about 18% with reference to FIG. In other words, in the above conventional method, the gas to be treated is treated with a low concentration of the organic solvent, so that the amount of ACF adsorbed is reduced to about half.
 一方、本発明の有機溶剤の除去方法においては、第1吸着槽から排出される低濃度の有機溶剤を含有する第1吸着槽処理ガスが、第2吸着槽で更に処理される。そのため、第1吸着槽に高濃度の有機溶剤を含む被処理ガスを導入できる。第1吸着槽に供給する被処理ガス中の有機溶剤濃度は5000ppm以上であることが好ましく、更に好ましくは10000~100000ppmである。被処理ガス中の有機溶剤の濃度を5000ppm以上とすることで、図1のグラフに従って、ACFへの有機溶剤の飽和吸着量が30%以上になる。即ち、高い吸着量を維持した状態で除去処理を行うことができる。 On the other hand, in the organic solvent removal method of the present invention, the first adsorption tank processing gas containing the low concentration organic solvent discharged from the first adsorption tank is further processed in the second adsorption tank. Therefore, the to-be-processed gas containing the high concentration organic solvent can be introduced into the first adsorption tank. The concentration of the organic solvent in the gas to be treated supplied to the first adsorption tank is preferably 5000 ppm or more, more preferably 10,000 to 100,000 ppm. By setting the concentration of the organic solvent in the gas to be treated to 5000 ppm or more, the saturated adsorption amount of the organic solvent to the ACF becomes 30% or more according to the graph of FIG. That is, the removal process can be performed while maintaining a high adsorption amount.
 この操作だけを考えれば、ACFを充填した第1吸着槽は、従来の有機溶剤処理方法と比較して、2倍のACFの吸着量を引き出す事が出来ることになる。 Considering only this operation, the first adsorption tank filled with ACF can draw out the adsorption amount of ACF twice as much as that of the conventional organic solvent treatment method.
 このことは、ACFの充填量を半分に減らすことができると表現することもできる。この場合は、設備費が半減することは当然ながら、ACFを再生するユーティリティーも半減することになる。 This can also be expressed as reducing the ACF filling amount in half. In this case, as a matter of course, the facility cost is halved, and the utility for regenerating the ACF is also halved.
 具体的には、第1吸着槽中のACF充填量と、第2吸着槽中のACF充填量との合計量は、1槽のみを用いる従来の有機溶剤吸着槽中のACF充填量と比較して、52.5~62.5質量%、少なくとも60~62.5質量%に低減する。 Specifically, the total amount of the ACF filling amount in the first adsorption tank and the ACF filling amount in the second adsorption tank is compared with the ACF filling amount in the conventional organic solvent adsorption tank using only one tank. To 52.5 to 62.5% by mass, and at least 60 to 62.5% by mass.
 このACF充填量の低減に比例して、ACFの再生に必要なエネルギーも低減する。
本発明の有機溶剤の除去方法において、被処理ガス中に含まれる有機溶剤は、特に限定されるものではない。本発明の有機溶剤の除去方法は、低沸点の有機溶剤の除去方法として好ましく用いることが出来る。本発明で言う低沸点の有機溶剤とは、沸点が100℃以下、好ましくは沸点が30~70℃の有機溶剤である。沸点が30~70℃の有機溶剤としては、塩化メチレン、クロロホルム、1,1-ジクロロエチレン等のハロゲン化炭化水素系有機溶剤、メチラール、メチル-t-ブチルエーテル等のエーテル又はアセタール系有機溶剤、酢酸メチル、酢酸エチル等のエステル系有機溶剤、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン等のケトン系有機溶剤などが挙げられる。
In proportion to the reduction of the ACF filling amount, the energy required for ACF regeneration is also reduced.
In the organic solvent removal method of the present invention, the organic solvent contained in the gas to be treated is not particularly limited. The method for removing an organic solvent of the present invention can be preferably used as a method for removing an organic solvent having a low boiling point. The low-boiling organic solvent referred to in the present invention is an organic solvent having a boiling point of 100 ° C. or lower, preferably 30 to 70 ° C. Examples of organic solvents having a boiling point of 30 to 70 ° C. include halogenated hydrocarbon organic solvents such as methylene chloride, chloroform and 1,1-dichloroethylene, ethers such as methylal and methyl-t-butyl ether, or acetal organic solvents, and methyl acetate. And ester organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, and ketone organic solvents such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone.
 本発明の有機溶剤の除去装置によれば、第1吸着槽と、第2吸着槽とを連結する連結管には凝縮器が介装され、これにより第1吸着槽処理ガスの中の水分量が低減されているので、第2吸着槽の脱着処理後のACFを乾燥させるのに、有利なものになっている。凝縮器の入口と出口とにおける第1吸着槽処理ガスの温度降下は、15~35℃が好ましく、20~35℃が更に好ましい。凝縮器により、第1吸着槽処理ガスの中の水分量の35~65%が除去される。 According to the organic solvent removing apparatus of the present invention, a condenser is interposed in the connecting pipe connecting the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank, whereby the amount of water in the first adsorption tank treatment gas is increased. This is advantageous for drying the ACF after the desorption treatment of the second adsorption tank. The temperature drop of the first adsorption tank processing gas at the inlet and outlet of the condenser is preferably 15 to 35 ° C, more preferably 20 to 35 ° C. The condenser removes 35 to 65% of the water content in the first adsorption tank processing gas.
 また、第1吸着槽に充填されるACFと、第2吸着槽に充填されるACFとの質量比を上述の範囲にすることで、第2吸着槽に導入される第1吸着槽処理ガスの流量は、脱着処理後の第2吸着槽のACFを乾燥させるのに充分な流量となる。よって、第2吸着槽においては、脱着処理後、従来の方法のように乾燥工程を独立して設ける必要がない。吸着工程において、第1吸着槽処理ガスにより、第2吸着槽のACFが速やかに乾燥され、効率よく溶剤除去を行うことができる。 In addition, by setting the mass ratio of the ACF filled in the first adsorption tank and the ACF filled in the second adsorption tank to the above range, the first adsorption tank treatment gas introduced into the second adsorption tank The flow rate is sufficient to dry the ACF in the second adsorption tank after the desorption process. Therefore, in the second adsorption tank, it is not necessary to provide a drying step independently after the desorption treatment as in the conventional method. In the adsorption step, the ACF in the second adsorption tank is quickly dried by the first adsorption tank treatment gas, and the solvent can be efficiently removed.
 本発明の有機溶剤の除去方法は、第1吸着槽に導入される被処理ガスの流量によらず、好適に用いることが出来る。特に、第1吸着槽に導入される被処理ガスの流量が比較的小流量である場合にも、好適に用いることが出来る。本発明で言う被処理ガスが比較的小流量である場合とは、被処理ガスの流量が、吸着剤1kgに対して1.0Nm3/min以下の場合を言う。本発明の有機溶剤の処理方法は、被処理ガスの流量が吸着剤1kgに対して1.0Nm3/min 以下、中でも0.2~0.6Nm3/minの場合に特に優れた効果を発揮する。 The method for removing an organic solvent of the present invention can be preferably used regardless of the flow rate of the gas to be treated introduced into the first adsorption tank. In particular, it can be suitably used even when the flow rate of the gas to be treated introduced into the first adsorption tank is relatively small. The case where the gas to be treated is a relatively small flow rate in the present invention refers to a case where the flow rate of the gas to be treated is 1.0 Nm 3 / min or less with respect to 1 kg of the adsorbent. The method for treating an organic solvent of the present invention exhibits particularly excellent effects when the flow rate of the gas to be treated is 1.0 Nm 3 / min or less, particularly 0.2 to 0.6 Nm 3 / min, per 1 kg of the adsorbent.
 第1吸着槽のACFの質量(M)と第2吸着槽のACFの質量(M)との質量比(M/M)が0.05未満の場合は、第2吸着槽において有機溶剤の吸着処理が不充分になり、第2吸着槽処理ガス中に含まれる有機溶剤の濃度が高くなるので好ましくない。 When the mass ratio (M 2 / M 1 ) between the mass (M 1 ) of the ACF in the first adsorption tank and the mass (M 2 ) of the ACF in the second adsorption tank is less than 0.05, This is not preferable because the organic solvent adsorption treatment becomes insufficient and the concentration of the organic solvent contained in the second adsorption tank treatment gas becomes high.
 第1吸着槽のACFの質量(M)と第2吸着槽のACFの質量(M)との質量比(M/M)が0.25を超える場合は、第2吸着槽のACFの乾燥に必要な第1吸着槽処理ガス流量が不足する。その結果、第2吸着槽のACFが乾燥不足になり、第2吸着槽のACFが水分過多状態になる。このACFは、吸着効率が低下しているので、第2吸着槽から排出される処理ガス(処理済ガス)に含まれる有機溶剤の含有量が増加する。 When the mass ratio (M 2 / M 1 ) between the mass (M 1 ) of the ACF in the first adsorption tank and the mass (M 2 ) of the ACF in the second adsorption tank exceeds 0.25, The first adsorption tank processing gas flow rate required for drying the ACF is insufficient. As a result, the ACF in the second adsorption tank becomes insufficiently dried, and the ACF in the second adsorption tank becomes in an excessive water state. Since this ACF has reduced adsorption efficiency, the content of the organic solvent contained in the processing gas (treated gas) discharged from the second adsorption tank increases.
 以上のように、本発明の有機溶剤の除去方法及び装置は、吸着材であるACFの利用効率を高め、ACFの使用量を軽減し、惹いては装置を小型化するという目的を実現するものである。 As described above, the method and apparatus for removing an organic solvent of the present invention realizes the purpose of increasing the use efficiency of ACF as an adsorbent, reducing the amount of ACF used, and eventually reducing the size of the apparatus. It is.
 次いで、本発明の形態を説明する。 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
  図2は本発明の有機溶剤の除去装置の一例を示すシステムフロー図である。本発明の有機溶剤の除去装置は、大別すると、下記第1吸着槽(A)と、第2吸着槽(B)とから構成される吸着除去手段系列を有する。

(B):前記第1吸着槽で処理済のガス(第1吸着槽処理ガス)中に含まれる有機溶剤をACFに吸着させ及びACFから脱着させる処理をバッチ処理で行う第2吸着槽
FIG. 2 is a system flow diagram showing an example of the organic solvent removing apparatus of the present invention. The organic solvent removing apparatus of the present invention is broadly classified into a series of adsorption removing means composed of the following first adsorption tank (A) and second adsorption tank (B).
(A): A first adsorption tank in which an organic solvent is adsorbed on and desorbed from the ACF by batch treatment, and the organic solvent is separated and removed from the gas to be treated by this treatment.
(B): a second adsorption tank in which the organic solvent contained in the gas treated in the first adsorption tank (first adsorption tank treatment gas) is adsorbed on the ACF and desorbed from the ACF by a batch process.
 図2に示すように、本例の有機溶剤の除去装置においては、有機化合物の吸着除去操作が可能な吸着除去手段系列を二系列設ける。一方の吸着除去手段系列(第1吸着槽A、第2吸着槽B)においては、有機化合物を吸着させる操作を行う。その間、他方の吸着除去手段系列(第1吸着槽A’、第2吸着槽B’)においては、吸着された有機化合物を脱着させて除去する操作を行う。一方の系列の吸着除去能力が予め設定された限度以下になると、一方の吸着除去手段系列において、吸着された有機化合物を脱着させて除去する操作を行う。同時に、その間、他方の吸着除去手段系列において、有機化合物を吸着させる操作を行う。これらの吸着する操作と、脱着させる操作とは、交互に行う。 As shown in FIG. 2, in the organic solvent removal apparatus of this example, two adsorption removal means series capable of adsorption removal of organic compounds are provided. In one adsorption removal means series (the first adsorption tank A and the second adsorption tank B), an operation for adsorbing an organic compound is performed. Meanwhile, in the other adsorption removal means series (first adsorption tank A ′, second adsorption tank B ′), an operation of desorbing and removing the adsorbed organic compound is performed. When the adsorption removal capability of one series falls below a preset limit, an operation of desorbing and removing the adsorbed organic compound is performed in one adsorption removal means series. At the same time, an operation for adsorbing the organic compound is performed in the other adsorption removal means series. These adsorbing operations and desorbing operations are alternately performed.
 一方の吸着除去手段系列(第1吸着槽A、第2吸着槽B)と、他方の吸着除去手段系列(第1吸着槽A’、第2吸着槽B’)とは、その機能は実質的に同一である。同様に、各系列間において、それぞれが有する機械要素も実質的に同一である。したがって、以下の説明においては、同一の機能を果たす機械要素に関しては、ダッシュ記号(’)を付すことで、両系列を互いに区別する。 The function of one adsorption removal means series (first adsorption tank A, second adsorption tank B) and the other adsorption removal means series (first adsorption tank A ′, second adsorption tank B ′) is substantially the same. Are identical. Similarly, machine elements included in each series are substantially the same. Therefore, in the following description, with respect to machine elements that perform the same function, both series are distinguished from each other by adding a dash (').
 図2に示されるように、有機溶剤を5000ppm以上、好ましくは10000~100000ppm含有する被処理ガスは、ブロワ2により第1吸着槽導入ライン4を搬送されて、第1吸着槽AにおけるACF6を充填した第1吸着槽主体8へ導入される。この様な被処理ガスとしては、工場、作業場で発生する排出ガス等が例示される。被処理ガスの温度としては、10~70℃が好ましく、20~50℃がより好ましい。 As shown in FIG. 2, the gas to be treated containing an organic solvent of 5000 ppm or more, preferably 10,000 to 100,000 ppm is transported by the blower 2 through the first adsorption tank introduction line 4 and filled with ACF 6 in the first adsorption tank A. The first adsorption tank main body 8 is introduced. Examples of such gas to be treated include exhaust gas generated in factories and workplaces. The temperature of the gas to be treated is preferably 10 to 70 ° C, more preferably 20 to 50 ° C.
 第1吸着槽主体8は、塔頂、筒底を閉塞された円筒状の吸着槽と、その内部に挿入された円筒状のACF6を有する。第1吸着槽主体8の下部側には、低壁を通してスチーム注入手段15がACF6内に挿入されている。脱着工程においては、このスチーム注入手段15を通して、スチームがACF6の中空部内に供給される。スチームが、ACF6の中心から外方に向けて、ACF6中を透過する際に、ACF6に吸着している有機溶剤の脱着が行われる。 The first adsorption tank main body 8 has a cylindrical adsorption tank with the tower top and the cylinder bottom closed, and a cylindrical ACF 6 inserted therein. A steam injection means 15 is inserted into the ACF 6 through a low wall on the lower side of the first adsorption tank main body 8. In the desorption process, steam is supplied into the hollow portion of the ACF 6 through the steam injection means 15. When the steam permeates through the ACF 6 from the center of the ACF 6 to the outside, the organic solvent adsorbed on the ACF 6 is desorbed.
 ACF6の吸着能力は、ACF1gに対する有機溶剤の吸着量で0.05~0.5gが好ましく、0.1~0.4gがより好ましい。ACFの比表面積は、1200~2000m/gが好ましく、1400~2000m/gがより好ましく、1450~1600m/gが特に好ましい。 The adsorption capacity of ACF6 is preferably 0.05 to 0.5 g, more preferably 0.1 to 0.4 g in terms of the amount of organic solvent adsorbed on 1 g of ACF. The specific surface area of the ACF is preferably 1200 ~ 2000m 2 / g, more preferably 1400 ~ 2000m 2 / g, particularly preferably 1450 ~ 1600m 2 / g.
 図1によれば、被処理ガスの有機溶剤濃度が1000ppm以上の場合には、比表面積が大きいACFの吸着量が比表面積が小さいACFの吸着量よりも高くなる。従って、被処理ガスの有機溶剤濃度が1000ppm以上の場合、比表面積が1200m/g以上のACF6を使用することが好ましい。更に、比表面積が1200m/g以上のACF6は、従来の溶剤除去装置では除去できなかった、高分子量の有機化合物も捕集することができる。但し、比表面積が2000m/gを超えるACF6は、平均細孔径が大きいので、溶剤分子と細孔の相互作用が弱くなる。その結果、溶剤の捕集が不十分になる傾向がある。 According to FIG. 1, when the concentration of the organic solvent in the gas to be treated is 1000 ppm or more, the adsorption amount of ACF having a large specific surface area is higher than the adsorption amount of ACF having a small specific surface area. Therefore, when the organic solvent concentration of the gas to be treated is 1000 ppm or more, it is preferable to use ACF6 having a specific surface area of 1200 m 2 / g or more. Furthermore, ACF6 having a specific surface area of 1200 m 2 / g or more can also collect high molecular weight organic compounds that could not be removed by conventional solvent removal apparatuses. However, since ACF6 having a specific surface area exceeding 2000 m 2 / g has a large average pore diameter, the interaction between the solvent molecules and the pores is weakened. As a result, solvent collection tends to be insufficient.
 第1吸着槽AにおけるACF6の吸着量は、ACF6の平均細孔直径及び全細孔容積と、相関性が高い。従って、ACF6は、平均細孔直径が1~4nmの範囲にあることが好ましく、3~4nmのものが更に好ましい。また、ACF6は、全細孔容積が0.2~0.8cm/gのものが好ましく、0.3~0.6cm/gのものがより好ましく、0.5~0.6cm/gのものが特に好ましい。 The amount of ACF6 adsorbed in the first adsorption tank A is highly correlated with the average pore diameter and total pore volume of ACF6. Therefore, ACF6 preferably has an average pore diameter in the range of 1 to 4 nm, more preferably 3 to 4 nm. Moreover, ACF 6 is preferably one of the total pore volume of 0.2 ~ 0.8cm 3 / g, more preferably those of 0.3 ~ 0.6cm 3 / g, 0.5 ~ 0.6cm 3 / Particularly preferred is g.
 本発明で使用するACF6及び後述のACF26としては、吸着するべき有機溶剤の物性を勘案し、該有機溶剤の吸着に適した平均細孔直径、全細孔容積、比表面積を持つACFを選択することが好ましい。ACFとしては、ポリアクリロニトリル(PAN)系、ピッチ系、セルロース系及びフェノール系など、にんいのACFが使用できる。これらACFのうち、フェノール系ACFは、比表面積が大きくなるほど、平均細孔直径が大きくなる。従って、比表面積の大きいフェノール系ACFを採用する場合は、細孔を閉塞すること無く、またACFの吸着性能低下を起すことなく、分子径の大きな高分子化合物も吸着、脱着が可能となる。 As the ACF 6 used in the present invention and the ACF 26 described later, an ACF having an average pore diameter, total pore volume, and specific surface area suitable for adsorption of the organic solvent is selected in consideration of the physical properties of the organic solvent to be adsorbed. It is preferable. As the ACF, garlic ACFs such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN), pitch, cellulose, and phenol can be used. Among these ACFs, the average pore diameter of the phenolic ACF increases as the specific surface area increases. Therefore, when a phenol-based ACF having a large specific surface area is employed, a polymer compound having a large molecular diameter can be adsorbed and desorbed without clogging the pores and without lowering the adsorption performance of ACF.
 第1吸着槽主体8は、吸着除去手段系列数に応じて、1槽以上の複数槽(本例では2槽)配置される。 The first adsorption tank main body 8 is arranged in a plurality of one tank or more (two tanks in this example) according to the number of adsorption removal means series.
 例えば、第1吸着槽主体8が2槽配置される本例の場合は、吸入バルブ10、10’及び排出バルブ12、12’の交互の切替え、及び蒸気バルブ14、14’の交互の切替えにより、絶えず、何れかの第1吸着槽主体8、8’において、吸着工程又は脱着工程が交互に行われる。 For example, in the case of this example in which two first adsorption tank main bodies 8 are arranged, by alternately switching the suction valves 10, 10 ′ and the discharge valves 12, 12 ′ and alternately switching the steam valves 14, 14 ′. The adsorption process or the desorption process is alternately performed in any one of the first adsorption tank main bodies 8 and 8 ′.
 以下、主として、一方の系列の、第1吸着槽Aについて説明する。 Hereinafter, the first adsorption tank A of one series will be mainly described.
 脱着工程において、第1吸着槽Aにスチームを供給し、ACF6を加熱することにより、ACF6から有機溶剤を脱着する脱着工程を行った後に、吸着工程に移行する。吸着工程においては、吸着工程の開始に先立ち、冷却、乾燥用ガスを用いてACF6の冷却及び乾燥処理を行なわなくても良い。ACF6は、ミクロポアがACFの外部表面に存在するため、有機溶剤含有ガスを被処理ガスとしてACF6に導入するだけで、ACF6の冷却及び乾燥が進行し、その吸着活性が徐々に高まる。 In the desorption process, steam is supplied to the first adsorption tank A, and the ACF 6 is heated to perform the desorption process of desorbing the organic solvent from the ACF 6, and then the process proceeds to the adsorption process. In the adsorption process, it is not necessary to cool and dry the ACF 6 using the cooling and drying gas prior to the start of the adsorption process. Since ACF6 has micropores on the outer surface of the ACF, simply introducing an organic solvent-containing gas into the ACF6 as a gas to be processed advances the cooling and drying of the ACF6 and gradually increases its adsorption activity.
 後述する吸着工程において第1吸着槽主体8内のACF6には、有機溶剤が吸着されている。この有機溶剤は、脱着工程において、第1吸着槽主体8へスチームを導入することにより脱着され、ACF6が再生され、同時に有機溶剤含有第1吸着槽脱着ガスが第1吸着槽主体8外部に取出される。スチームは、第1吸着槽側スチーム導入ライン16、蒸気バルブ14、スチーム注入手段15を通じて、第1吸着槽主体8内に注入される。なお、再生されたACF6は、前記注入されたスチームが凝縮した水分を含む湿潤状態にある。 In the adsorption process described later, an organic solvent is adsorbed on the ACF 6 in the first adsorption tank main body 8. In the desorption process, the organic solvent is desorbed by introducing steam into the first adsorption tank main body 8 to regenerate the ACF 6 and at the same time, the organic solvent-containing first adsorption tank desorption gas is taken out of the first adsorption tank main body 8. Is done. Steam is injected into the first adsorption tank main body 8 through the first adsorption tank side steam introduction line 16, the steam valve 14, and the steam injection means 15. Note that the regenerated ACF 6 is in a wet state containing moisture condensed from the injected steam.
 有機溶剤含有第1吸着槽脱着ガスは、第1吸着槽側脱着ガスバルブ18、第1吸着槽側回収ライン20を通って後述の有機溶剤含有第2吸着槽脱着ガスと共に凝縮器22へ導入される。有機溶剤含有第1吸着槽脱着ガスは、凝縮器22において冷却水により冷却される。この凝縮処理により、凝縮分として回収有機溶剤が得られる。他方、未凝縮分は、被処理ガスに混入される(図2)。 The organic solvent-containing first adsorption tank desorption gas passes through the first adsorption tank-side desorption gas valve 18 and the first adsorption tank-side recovery line 20 and is introduced into the condenser 22 together with the organic solvent-containing second adsorption tank desorption gas described later. . The organic solvent-containing first adsorption tank desorption gas is cooled by cooling water in the condenser 22. By this condensation treatment, a recovered organic solvent is obtained as a condensed component. On the other hand, the uncondensed component is mixed into the gas to be processed (FIG. 2).
 吸着工程においては、被処理ガスは、ブロア2により第1吸着槽導入ライン4を通して、第1吸着槽Aに送られる。被処理ガスは、ここでACF6により有機溶剤の吸着が行われ、同時に第1吸着槽処理ガスが第1吸着槽Aから外部に取出される。第1吸着槽Aから排出される第1吸着槽処理ガス中の有機溶剤濃度は好ましくは10~1000ppm、より好ましくは100~200ppmになるように、運転条件を選定する。取出される第1吸着槽処理ガスの温度は、通常30~70℃である。 In the adsorption process, the gas to be treated is sent to the first adsorption tank A through the first adsorption tank introduction line 4 by the blower 2. The gas to be treated is adsorbed with the organic solvent by the ACF 6 and the first adsorption tank processing gas is taken out from the first adsorption tank A to the outside at the same time. The operating conditions are selected so that the concentration of the organic solvent in the first adsorption tank treatment gas discharged from the first adsorption tank A is preferably 10 to 1000 ppm, more preferably 100 to 200 ppm. The temperature of the first adsorption tank processing gas taken out is usually 30 to 70 ° C.
 この第1吸着槽処理ガスは、第1吸着槽と第2吸着槽とを連結するパイプからなる第1吸着槽処理ガス輸送ライン24を通って、凝縮器25に送られる。 The first adsorption tank processing gas is sent to the condenser 25 through the first adsorption tank processing gas transport line 24 composed of a pipe connecting the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank.
 第1吸着槽処理ガスは、前記脱着工程で注入したスチームが凝縮して湿潤状態にあるACF6を乾燥させる際に生成する水分を飽和状態近くまで含む。この水分を含む第1吸着槽処理ガスは、凝縮器25において、スチームに由来する蒸気を凝縮分離された後、第2吸着槽Bに送られる。 The first adsorption tank treatment gas contains moisture generated when the steam injected in the desorption step is condensed to dry the ACF 6 in a wet state to near saturation. The first adsorption tank processing gas containing moisture is sent to the second adsorption tank B after the vapor derived from steam is condensed and separated in the condenser 25.
 凝縮器25で凝縮分離される水分量は、第1吸着槽処理ガスに含まれる全水分量の少なくとも30質量%以上が好ましい。凝縮器の入口と出口とにおける第1吸着槽処理ガスの温度降下を15~35℃に保つことにより、第1吸着槽処理ガス中の水分量の35~65%を除去できる。 The amount of water condensed and separated by the condenser 25 is preferably at least 30% by mass or more of the total amount of water contained in the first adsorption tank processing gas. By maintaining the temperature drop of the first adsorption tank processing gas at the inlet and outlet of the condenser at 15 to 35 ° C., 35 to 65% of the moisture content in the first adsorption tank processing gas can be removed.
 上記吸着工程における吸着処理により、第1吸着槽処理ガス中の有機溶剤濃度は、500ppm以下になる。 The organic solvent concentration in the first adsorption tank treatment gas becomes 500 ppm or less by the adsorption treatment in the adsorption step.
 第2吸着槽Bにおいては、第1吸着槽処理ガス中に残存する有機溶剤がACF26により吸着除去されると共に、有機溶剤濃度が低下された第2吸着槽処理ガスが外部に排出される。 In the second adsorption tank B, the organic solvent remaining in the first adsorption tank processing gas is removed by adsorption by the ACF 26, and the second adsorption tank processing gas having a reduced organic solvent concentration is discharged to the outside.
 第2吸着槽主体28は、第1吸着槽主体8と同様に、系列数に応じて1槽、又は複数槽(本例では2槽)配置されている。例えば、本例の2槽の場合は、吸入バルブ30、30’及び排出バルブ32、32’の交互の切替え、及び蒸気バルブ34、34’の交互の切替えにより、第2吸着槽主体28、28’ の何れかにおいて、吸着又は脱着が交互に行われる。第2吸着槽Bの構成は、第1吸着槽Aの構成とほぼ同一である。 As with the first adsorption tank main body 8, the second adsorption tank main body 28 is arranged in one tank or a plurality of tanks (two tanks in this example) according to the number of series. For example, in the case of the two tanks of this example, the second adsorption tank main bodies 28, 28 are obtained by alternately switching the suction valves 30, 30 ′ and the discharge valves 32, 32 ′ and alternately switching the steam valves 34, 34 ′. 'Adsorption or desorption takes place alternately in any of the soots. The configuration of the second adsorption tank B is substantially the same as the configuration of the first adsorption tank A.
 以下、主として、一方の系列の第2吸着槽Bについて説明する。 Hereinafter, the second adsorption tank B of one series will be mainly described.
 ACF26は、ACF1gに対する有機溶剤の吸着量が0.05~0.5g、好ましくは0.1~0.4gが好ましい。ACF26の比表面積は、600m/g以上1400m/g未満が好ましく、700m/g以上1400m/g未満がより好ましく、1100~1350m/gが更に好ましく、1200~1350m/gが特に好ましい。 ACF26 has an organic solvent adsorption amount of 1 to ACF of 0.05 to 0.5 g, preferably 0.1 to 0.4 g. The specific surface area of ACF26 is preferably less than 600 meters 2 / g or more 1400 m 2 / g, more preferably less than 700 meters 2 / g or more 1400 m 2 / g, more preferably 1100 ~ 1350m 2 / g, 1200 ~ 1350m 2 / g is Particularly preferred.
 また、ACF26の平均細孔直径は0.5~3nmが好ましく、平均細孔直径が1~2.5nmがより好ましい。全細孔容積は、0.1~0.6cm/gが好ましく、0.2~0.4cm/gがより好ましい。 The average pore diameter of ACF26 is preferably 0.5 to 3 nm, and the average pore diameter is more preferably 1 to 2.5 nm. Total pore volume is preferably 0.1 ~ 0.6cm 3 / g, more preferably 0.2 ~ 0.4cm 3 / g.
 上記ACF6とACF26との組合せを採用することにより、前述のように、ACFの吸着能力を最大限発揮させる事が出来る。 By adopting a combination of the above ACF6 and ACF26, the adsorption capacity of ACF can be maximized as described above.
 第2吸着槽主体28に吸着される有機溶剤は、脱着工程において、第2吸着槽主体28へスチームを導入することにより脱着される。スチームは、第2吸着槽側スチーム導入ライン36、蒸気バルブ34、スチーム注入手段35を通って、第2吸着槽主体28に送られる。このスチームにより、ACF26が再生され、同時に有機溶剤含有第2吸着槽脱着ガスが生成する。この有機溶剤含有第2吸着槽脱着ガスは、第2吸着槽側脱着ガスバルブ38、第2吸着槽側回収ライン40を通って、前述の有機溶剤含有第1吸着槽脱着ガスと共に凝縮器22へ導入送られる。有機溶剤含有第2吸着槽脱着ガスは、凝縮器22において、冷却水で冷却する凝縮処理が行われる。この凝集処理により、凝縮分として回収有機溶剤が得られる。未凝縮分は、被処理ガスに混入された後、第1吸着槽に送られる。(図2)。 The organic solvent adsorbed on the second adsorption tank main body 28 is desorbed by introducing steam into the second adsorption tank main body 28 in the desorption step. The steam is sent to the second adsorption tank main body 28 through the second adsorption tank side steam introduction line 36, the steam valve 34, and the steam injection means 35. By this steam, the ACF 26 is regenerated, and simultaneously, an organic solvent-containing second adsorption tank desorption gas is generated. The organic solvent-containing second adsorption tank desorption gas is introduced into the condenser 22 together with the organic solvent-containing first adsorption tank desorption gas through the second adsorption tank-side desorption gas valve 38 and the second adsorption tank-side recovery line 40. Sent. In the condenser 22, the organic solvent-containing second adsorption tank desorption gas is subjected to a condensation process of cooling with cooling water. By this aggregation treatment, a recovered organic solvent is obtained as a condensed component. The uncondensed component is mixed into the gas to be treated and then sent to the first adsorption tank. (Figure 2).
 吸着工程においては、系外に排出される第2吸着槽処理ガス(清浄化ガス)中の有機溶剤濃度は、100ppm以下、好ましくは60ppm以下、更に好ましくは30ppm以下に制御される。 In the adsorption step, the concentration of the organic solvent in the second adsorption tank processing gas (cleaning gas) discharged out of the system is controlled to 100 ppm or less, preferably 60 ppm or less, more preferably 30 ppm or less.
 必要に応じ、第2吸着槽処理ガスを、バックアップ処理槽(不図示)に導入して、更に有機溶剤濃度を低減させても良い。バックアップ処理槽は、第2吸着槽処理ガス輸送ライン42に接続すればよい。 If necessary, the second adsorption tank processing gas may be introduced into a backup processing tank (not shown) to further reduce the organic solvent concentration. The backup processing tank may be connected to the second adsorption tank processing gas transport line 42.
 バックアップ処理槽としては、特に制限がないが、吸着材を担持した耐熱紙等を多数の通路を有するハニカム状に加工した回転ドラム型有機溶剤処理装置が挙げられる(特開平9-308814号)。バックアップ処理槽に担持される吸着材としては、ACF、ゼオライトなどが挙げられる。 The backup treatment tank is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a rotating drum type organic solvent treatment apparatus in which heat-resistant paper carrying an adsorbent is processed into a honeycomb shape having a large number of passages (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-308814). Examples of the adsorbent supported in the backup processing tank include ACF and zeolite.
 図2の例においては、2つの凝縮器25、25’を設けている。しかし、この例に限られず、図3の例のように、1つの凝縮器25を、吸着工程と脱着工程との切換時に、切換えて使用するようにしても良い。図3の例の場合は、設備コストが低減できる。 In the example of FIG. 2, two condensers 25 and 25 'are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and one condenser 25 may be used by switching at the time of switching between the adsorption process and the desorption process as in the example of FIG. In the case of the example of FIG. 3, the equipment cost can be reduced.
 以下、実施例により本発明を更に具体的に説明するが、本発明はこれら実施例に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically by way of examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples.
