Title:
PROCESS FOR RECONDITIONING A GAS FROM THE OZONOLYSIS OF AN UNSATURATED FATTY ACID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/103310
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Described herein are processes and systems useful for reconditioning a depleted gas from an absorber column (106) in which an ozonizing reaction is conducted. The process is conducted in a closed system and includes the steps of removing organic compounds from the depleted gas, and compressing and drying the organic-free depleted gas. The process further includes reestablishing the desired ratio of oxygen to substantially non-reactive gas in the gas upstream of an ozone generator (102) by removing a portion of the depleted gas and replacing the removed portion with a quantity of fresh oxygen gas, thereby forming a replenished gas. The replenished gas is then passed through an ozone generator (102) to establish the desired ozone concentration thereby forming an ozone enriched gas. Finally, the ozone enriched gas is reintroduced into the absorber column (106) for use in the ozonizing reaction.
