Abstract:
To provide a process and an apparatus for treating a waste anesthetic gas containing a volatile anesthetic and nitrous oxide discharged from an operating room by introducing the gas into an adsorbing cylinder filled with an adsorbent, where the volatile anesthetic contained in the waste anesthetic gas is adsorbed and thereby removed, and successively introducing the gas into a catalyst layer filled with a nitrous oxide decomposition catalyst, where nitrous oxide is decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen. By using the process and the apparatus for treating a waste anesthetic gas of the present invention, a volatile anesthetic having a possibility of destroying the ozone layer or nitrous oxide as a global warming gas can be made harmless while preventing the release into atmosphere.

Abstract:
The present invention intends to provide an agent and a method for removing harmful gas, which exhibits high harm-removing ability per unit volume for harmful halogen-containing gas such as that contained in the exhaust gas from the etching or cleaning step in the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, and which is inexpensive.The invention is characterized in that halogen-containing gas is removed using a harm-removing agent comprising iron oxide, an alkaline earth metal compound and activated carbon. In the case where the exhaust gas contains halogen gas such as chlorine or a gas such as sulfur dioxide, the gas is rendered harmless by additionally using a harm removing agent comprising activated carbon or zeolite.
