| 20100172807 | SYSTEM FOR SCRUBBING ALKYL HALIDES FROM GASES - Alkyl halides can be effectively scrubbed from gas streams containing them by passing the gas streams through dispersers having a very small pore size into an aqueous scrubbing liquid containing a nucleophile such as thiosulfate. Optionally, the addition of a water-soluble organic compound to the scrubbing liquid may increase the rate of destruction of the alkyl halide. Alkyl halides such as methyl bromide can be effectively scrubbed from enclosed spaces containing the halide, for example in enclosures used for fumigation. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100101412 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOVING ALKYL HALIDES FROM GASES - An alkyl halide such as methyl bromide can be effectively removed from a gas stream by passing the gas stream through a bed of adsorbent at a relatively low temperature to adsorb the alkyl halide onto the adsorbent, desorbing the alkyl halide at a higher temperature to produce a smaller volume of gas containing the alkyl halide in more concentrated form, and then reacting the alkyl halide with a nucleophile contained in a liquid phase by contacting this smaller gas volume with such liquid phase. | 04-29-2010 |
