Abstract
A method for processing an organic solvent-containing air is disclosed. The method can be operated in spite of a rapid fluctuation of the concentration of the organic solvents in the air to be processed, specifically, the method does not increase the organic solvent content in the air to be emitted into the atmosphere after processing, even if the concentration of the organic solvents rapidly changes. The method comprises carrying out simultaneously and continuously an adsorbing-removing step, a regenerating step, and a combustion step, while mixing a purified air produced in the adsorbing-removing step with an exhaust gas from a combustion furnace produced in the combustion step, and decomposing the organic solvents in the mixture by oxidation.
