Abstract:
1. A method of processing a volatile organic compound, comprising: adsorbing in an adsorbent a volatile organic compound contained in gas to be treated; desorbing the thus-adsorbed volatile organic compound with the aid of steam and mixing it in the steam, under a pressurized state; and combusting the steam containing the volatile organic compound in a combustor, said method of processing further comprising: separating a vessel for the adsorption and desorption into an inner side room and an outer side room by means of a separation member part of which is formed of the adsorbent; thermally retaining the vessel for the adsorption and desorption; at the time of adsorption, supplying the gas to be treated to the inner side room and therefrom to the outer side room through the separation member; and at the time of desorption, supplying the steam to the outer side room and hence to the inner side room through the separation member.
