A method for processing an organic solvent-containing air capable of being
operated in spite of a rapid fluctuation of the concentration of organic
solvents in the air to be processed and capable of using a combustion
furnace exhaust gas as an air for regenerating dehumidifying member is
provided. The method comprises carrying out simultaneously and
continuously a dehumidification step (a), an adsorption-removing step
(b), an adsorbing member-regeneration step (c), a combustion step (d),
and a dehumidifying member-regeneration step (e) comprising mixing the
adsorption-treated air produced in the adsorbing-removing step (b) with a
combustion furnace exhaust gas produced in the combustion step (d) to
obtain a mixed gas, decomposing the organic solvents in the mixed gas by
oxidation, and causing the resulting purified gas to flow through the
dehumidifying member which has adsorbed moisture, thereby regenerating
the dehumidifying member.
