ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for recovering and purifying a halocarbon composition, particularly halon. Forming a part of the present system is a liquid heat exchange unit filled with a liquid heat transfer medium. A recovery tank is submerged in the heat transfer medium and is coupled to an impure halocarbon source. The liquid heat exchange unit cools the recovery tank and the impure halocarbon composition within the tank to a sufficient temperature to cause nitrogen gas to separate from the halocarbon composition and form a vapor within the top portion of the recovery tank. Thereafter, the recovery tank is vented and a mixture of separated nitrogen gas and halon vapor is directed through a vent stream having a carbon adsorber. As the separated gas moves through the carbon adsorber, organic halocarbon vapor is adsorbed and effectively removed from the nitrogen gas. Prior to the impure halocarbon composition reaching the recovery tank, the same is subjected to pretreatment and particularly to filtration for removing particulates, moisture, foreign oils and acids.
