[0004] A treatment for deodorizing odorous gas using ozone in the presence of a catalyst has been conventionally used in various environments. In particular, in a residential environment, usually, ozone is decomposed into oxygen, and Due to the strong oxidizing action of ozone, a process is carried out for the purpose of completely oxidatively decomposing and removing malodorous components mainly composed of aliphatic alcohol into carbon dioxide gas and water.

However, even in such a treatment, the aliphatic alcohols, which are the main components of the malodorous component, are not completely oxidized and decomposed to water and carbon dioxide gas, but most of them are intermediate oxides thereof. As a result, in addition to lower fatty acids, aldehydes and ketones are produced, adhere to and accumulate on the catalyst. In addition, some of the aliphatic alcohols, which are offensive odor components, are directly accumulated on the catalyst. In this way, in addition to the lower fatty acids, various organic substances adhere to and accumulate on the catalyst, and as a result, the activity of the catalyst decreases. Furthermore, the lower fatty acids deposited and accumulated on the catalyst cause the catalyst itself to have a bad smell. In addition, the lower fatty acid may partially generate a manganese salt by a chemical reaction with manganese dioxide as a catalyst component, and in such a case, the ozonolysis activity of the catalyst is further reduced. .

The heating rate of the heating air supplied to the regeneration furnace is 1

Further, from the viewpoint of the linear velocity, when the linear velocity is lower than 3 m / sec, even if the heating rate of the heating air supplied to the regeneration furnace is sufficiently reduced, the organic matter burns on the catalyst, and
Due to the low heating rate, catalyst regeneration is inefficient. However, if the speed is higher than 20 m / sec, a very large capacity air blower and a large heating device are required, but the energy loss is unnecessarily large, the processing cost is significantly increased, and practicality is lost.

In particular, from the viewpoint of practicality, according to the present invention, air is supplied at a heating rate of 20 to 40 ° C./hour while supplying a linear velocity in the regeneration furnace in a range of 4 to 10 m / sec. , And finally the heated air is heated to a final regeneration temperature of 180 to 250 ° C, and is preferably passed through the regeneration furnace at the final regeneration temperature for an appropriate time. The time for heating the catalyst to the final regeneration temperature by the heated air depends on the heating rate and the linear velocity of the heated air, and thus may be a time until the catalyst substantially has the initial activity. ,
It can be easily determined experimentally. But usually,
It takes about 10 minutes to 1 hour.

In practice, as shown in Example 1, it is preferred to heat the air at a substantially constant rate from the beginning, usually from room temperature, to the final regeneration temperature. However, as shown in Example 2, for example, air is heated relatively quickly to 100 ° C. and held at 100 ° C. for an appropriate time, and then heated relatively quickly to 150 ° C. and held at this temperature for an appropriate time. Thereafter, heating may be performed relatively quickly to 200 ° C., which is the final regeneration temperature, and the temperature may be appropriately maintained at this temperature. According to the present invention, as described above, the heating temperature of the air may be increased stepwise, but also in this case, the heating rate of the air in the middle is 50 ° C. /

Also, since the organic matter on the catalyst does not burn even at the initial heating of the catalyst, particularly until the air temperature reaches about 80 to 120 ° C., even if the air heating rate exceeds 50 ° C./hour. In FIG. 2, as shown in Example 3, if necessary, the mixture is rapidly heated to a temperature in the range of about 80 to 120 ° C., and then the air is passed through the regeneration furnace so as to have the linear velocity. Alternatively, the air may be heated at the heating rate.
According to this method, the time required for regeneration of the catalyst can be shortened, and the regeneration efficiency can be further increased.

In the present invention, in order to appropriately control the amount and temperature of the air flowing through the regeneration furnace, the valve 12 is opened as necessary to supply fresh air to the pipe system.
If necessary, the valve 13 may be controlled to discharge a part of the air to the outside. However, while minimizing the amount of air to be replenished and the amount of air to be discharged, when heating the air with a heating device, the organic matter evaporated and volatilized from the catalyst is burned, so that the organic matter is not discharged to the outside. The regeneration of the catalyst can be carried out in a substantially closed system.

According to the present invention, as described above, the organic substances adhere to and accumulate on the ozone deodorizing treatment, the activity is reduced, and the used odor is reduced. When regenerating a honeycomb catalyst containing manganese as a main component, the through-holes are perpendicular to the air flow, and the honeycomb catalysts are loaded in the regeneration furnace in order such that the honeycomb catalyst has a gap therebetween. Then, while appropriately controlling the linear velocity and the heating rate in the regeneration furnace, the heated air is allowed to flow, and thus the organic matter on the catalyst is separated and evaporated while heating the catalyst with the heated air, By volatilizing, the used catalyst can be efficiently regenerated to an odorless one until the used catalyst has the initial activity without causing combustion of organic substances.
