Abstract
Abstract A method for removing phosgene from an essentially anhydrous gas stream which involves contacting such a stream with activated alumina at a temperature of from 110*C to 200*C under essentially anhydrous conditions. This method is particularly useful in removing phosgene from chlorinated hydrocarbon gas streams also containing acid gas impurities.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the anhydrous gas stream is chlorinated hydrocarbon gas stream also containing an acid gas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the anhydrous gas stream is a methyl-chloride gas stream containing hydrogen chloride and phosgene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the activated alumina is made by heating Al2O3.H2O to at least about 300*C to remove at least a part of the water of crystallization to reorient the crystalline structure to produce gamma alumina.
