Abstract

Abstract An ozonized oxygen fed from an ozonizer is passed to a reaction tower to treat an object material. In recovering non-reacted oxygen from the reaction tower to reuse in the ozonizer, zeolite is used as an adsorbent to remove impurities contained in the recovered oxygen, such as water, volatile organic materials and CO 2 gas so that a raw material oxygen without containing any impurity is fed to the ozonizer to increase the ozonizing efficiency.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 232 words
An oxygen recycled type ozonizing apparatus for feeding ozonized oxygen to a liquid or solid object part containing organic materials to be treated with said ozonized oxygen and subsequently treating the gas discharge after the reaction to reuse it as a source of oxygen for producing ozone, comprising: a source of oxygen with said source producing oxygen which is essentially substantially pure oxygen; an ozonizing means for producing ozonized oxygen from said substantially pure oxygen; a reacting means for reacting the liquid or the object to be treated with the ozonized oxygen produced in said ozonizing means; a temperature-swing recovery means connected to said reacting means for recovering the discharged gas of the reacting means to adsorb and remove the impurities contained in the discharged gas and to feed the gas to resupply said source of substantially pure oxygen which is, in turn, fed to said ozonizing means, wherein said recovery means holds a first adsorbent of one of silica gel and activated aluminum for adsorbing mainly water in the discharged gas and a second adsorbent of one of Ca A type and X type zeolite for adsorbing mainly volatile organic materials and CO 2 gas in said discharge gas, said first adsorbant being located upstream of said second adsorbant, and heater means for heating said second adsorbant to a temperature of 250° C. in order to carry out said adsorbing operation.
