In the gas purification unit 4 shown in FIG. 4, an example is described in which two wash column of the first washing column 13 and the second washing column 15 may be configured to provide one of the scrubbing column . Figure 5 is a schematic view showing another example of a gas purification unit according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the gas purification unit 5, washing column 18 is provided after the HCN converter 21, desulfurization tower 16 is provided downstream of the COS converter 22. That is, in the gas purification unit 5, washing column 18 is provided instead of the first washing column 13 of the gas purification unit 4 shown in FIG. 4, the second washing column 15 is omitted. Between the HCN converter 21 and wash column 18, the gasification gas G 8 may be provided a heat exchanger for adjusting to a predetermined temperature. The other configuration is not described because it is similar to the gas purification unit 4 shown in FIG.
[0055]
In the gas purifier 5, HCN converter 21, the gasification gas G 1 gasified gas G and the first conversion processing to a first predetermined temperature 8 supplied to wash tower 18. Wash column 18, like the first washing column 13 described above, gasification gas G while a cleaning process of contacting the cleaning solution and the gas-liquid 8 is cooled to a second treatment temperature. Thus, gasification gas G 8 such as ammonia and halogen hydrogen cyanide in was decomposed is washed out. The cleaning tower 18, the gasification gas G after the cleaning process 3 for supplying a COS converter 22. COS converter 22, gasification gas G at a second predetermined temperature 3 after was second conversion processing, gasification gas G 9 supplied to the desulfurization tower 16 as. Even when configured in this manner, the gasification gas G by washing tower 18 8 Since ammonia have been removed, gasification gas G 8 can prevent the precipitation of trace components in.
[0056]
Figure 6 is a schematic view showing another example of a gas purification unit according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the gas purification unit 6, COS converter 22 is provided after the HCN converter 21, cleaning tower 18 is provided downstream of the COS converter 22. That is, in the gas purification unit 6, washing column 18 is provided in place of the second washing column 15 of the gas purification unit 4 shown in FIG. 4, the first washing column 13 is omitted. Between the HCN converter 21 and the COS converter 22, the gasification gas G 8 may be provided a heat exchanger for adjusting to a predetermined temperature. The other configuration is not described because it is similar to the gas purification unit 4 shown in FIG.
