  • EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT METHOD, EXHAUST GAS TREATMENT DEVICE, AND CARBON FIBER MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190284728
    Abstract: One object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas treatment method for treating exhaust gases discharged from a carbon fiber manufacturing steps which can suppress a cost increase due to an increase in an amount of an exhaust gas treated, the present invention provides an exhaust gas treatment method including: a first combusting step in which a carbonizing step-exhaust gas discharged from a carbonizing step in which the fibrous substance is carbonized in an inert gas atmosphere is treated; and a second combusting step in which a flameproofing step-exhaust gas discharged from a flameproofing step in which the fibrous substance is flameproofed in an air atmosphere and a first combusting step-exhaust gas discharged from the first combustion step are treated; and an air separating step in which nitrogen for producing the inert gas atmosphere in the carbonizing step, and the oxygen-enriched air used in the first combusting step are produced by separating air.
