A particularly problematic source of hydrocarbon gas and the like is exhaust gas generated when volatile hydrocarbons are transferred between a storage tank and a lorry or between a tanker and a storage tank. The exhaust gas contains a high concentration of hydrocarbon gas of 10 to 30%. The next problem is hydrocarbon gas generated from solvents used in painting factories and printing shops, etc., whose concentration is as low as several tens to several thousand ppm, but poses major problems in terms of location conditions and number. . As a method for treating and recovering such exhaust gas, an absorption method using an absorbent is generally used for a hydrocarbon gas or the like having a high concentration, and an adsorption method using an adsorbent is used at a low concentration.

The above adsorption methods include a fixed bed type and a fluidized bed type, and activated carbon, zeolite, silica gel or the like is used as an adsorbent. The fixed bed type includes the TSA method (temperature fluctuation adsorption / desorption method), the PSA method (pressure fluctuation adsorption / desorption method), and the TPSA method (temperature / pressure fluctuation adsorption / desorption method) combining these two methods. These are used properly depending on the conditions and the recovery conditions. That is, the TSA method involves adsorbing a hydrocarbon gas or the like with an adsorbent at normal temperature and normal pressure and desorbing the gas under high temperature and normal pressure, and utilizes the fact that the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent has temperature dependence. The PSA method adsorbs hydrocarbon gas or the like at elevated pressure and desorbs it under normal pressure, or adsorbs at normal pressure and desorbs it under reduced pressure, and utilizes the fact that the adsorption capacity of an adsorbent has pressure dependency. is there. In the TPSA method, adsorption is performed at normal temperature and normal pressure and desorption is performed under high temperature and reduced pressure.
The method has characteristics of both of the method and the PSA method.

The treatment of exhaust gas containing alcohols and hydrocarbons using the above TSA method cannot be used because activated carbon has a low ability to adsorb alcohols, and silica gel has an excellent ability to adsorb alcohols. However, when water is adsorbed with alcohols, heat is generated when the water is adsorbed, and when the amount of adsorbed water is large, the water is finally destroyed, and silica gel has a low ability to adsorb hydrocarbons. Therefore, it is difficult at present to treat exhaust gas containing alcohols and hydrocarbons using the TSA method. In this TSA method, water and hydrocarbons are separated from the condensate obtained by cooling and condensing the desorbed gas from the adsorbent by utilizing the difference in specific gravity, but the specific gravity of hydrocarbons and the like is close to that of water. And cannot be separated.

In the PSA method, an inert gas such as air is used as a purge gas for desorption from an adsorbent after adsorbing hydrocarbons and the like, but a decompression device such as a vacuum pump having a displacement similar to that of exhaust gas is required. Therefore, equipment costs and operation costs become enormous, which is not practical.

Further, in the TPSA method having both characteristics of the TSA method and the PSA method, if steam is used for desorption from the adsorbent after adsorbing hydrocarbons or the like, wastewater is discharged and the recovered liquid is reused. In such a case, steam cannot be used in a recovery liquid that dislikes moisture. Then, without using steam,
If the concentration of hydrocarbons and the like in the exhaust gas is as low as several hundred ppm, a large amount of adsorbent is required, which is uneconomical.In addition, when an inert gas such as air is used as a purge gas, a vacuum having the same exhaust volume as the exhaust gas is used. A decompression device such as a pump is required, and equipment costs and operation costs become enormous, which is not practical.
