Abstract
The present invention is directed to a process and a reactor for removing organic compounds from gas flows, in which process the said gas flow is passed through a first compartment of a multi-compartment reactor, which reactor comprises at least one first compartment and at least one second compartment, which first and second compartments are in heat exchanging relationship with each other through a joint, gas-tight wall, and in which first compartment the gas flow is heated by heat exchange with the said second compartment, passing the heated gas flow to the second compartment, further heating the gas flow entering the second compartment either by adding additional combustible gas or electric heating, and passing the heated gas through the second compartment over a catalytic oxidation catalyst to combust the organic compounds, whereby both the first and the second compartment are filled with porous sintered metal material, which is in heat exchanging relationship to the said joint wall, whereby the metal material in the second compartment is provided with the said oxidation catalyst.
