Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing high concentration ozone gas, characterized by employing a pressure swing adsorbing apparatus having a plurality of adsorbing layers filled with ozone adsorbent, in which the ozone adsorbent is one or two or more kinds of adsorbent selected from the group consisting of high silica pentasyl zeolite, dealuminized fogersite, and mesoporous silicate.

Abstract: Ozone generated from an ozonizer is added to a polluted gas containing harmful substances, which is generated from a polluted gas source. Then, the ozone-added polluted gas is allowed to flow through an adsorbing layer containing a high-silica adsorbent that adsorbs both ozone and harmful substances. The harmful substances contained in the polluted gas are converted into harmless substances within the adsorbing layer by the action of the ozone.

Abstract: An ozone storage/recovery method comprises a process for supplying an ozone-containing gas, generated by an ozone generator, to an ozone adsorbent tank filled with an ozone adsorbent contained at least one high-silica material selected from the group consisting of a high-silica pentasil zeolite, a dealumination faujasite and a mesoporous silicate, causing the adsorbent to adsorb ozone at a temperature of 0° C. or below, and storing the ozone, and a process for desorbing the ozone adsorbed by the adsorbent in the ozone adsorbent tank and recovering the ozone from the adsorbent tank, whereby ozone can be supplied as required.

Abstract: A polluted fluid, such as exhaust gas from a refuse incinerator, containing at least one pollutant, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), SOx or NOx, is processed by passing the polluted fluid through an adsorbing layer containing a high-silica adsorbent capable of adsorbing both ozone and at least one pollutant to adsorb at least one pollutant on the adsorbent. Then, ozone is brought into contact with the adsorbing layer to oxidize and decompose the pollutant adsorbed on the adsorbent, while stopping the flow of the polluted fluid.
