Gas absorption and solidification If oxygen is used instead of ordinary air (with essentially complete oxidation of carbon compounds to CO2) and all acid gases are removed from the flue gas with a water scrub that also condenses the newly formed water to the saturation level of a normal cooling tower system, then the flue gas should consist primarily of CO2 saturated with water vapor.

From page 107... ...
This sequence of beds provides adequate time for chemical analysis and certification of the leaving gas stream before saturation results in breakthrough of contaminants, a feature in common with the gas storage system discussed earlier. The charcoal or activated carbon selectively adsorbs certain types of molecules onto the internal surfaces of tiny pores and interstices of the granules, with the type and amount of such adsorption depending on the method of charcoal production and/or activation and on the concentration of the impurity being adsorbed.

The Army and the NRC are now reviewing the possibilities and implications of using these filters on the gaseous waste streams generated by the currently used incineration technologies at the various chemical weapons storage sites.) ~ This activity is being carried out by the ARC Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Army Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program.
