Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas purification apparatus, highly purifying gas containing salt derived from molten salt stored in a vessel ( 10 ), is provided with a reflux mechanism ( 35, 42 ) liquefying the salt, contained in the gas, for return to the molten salt in the vessel, and a filtration mechanism ( 39, 44 ) disposed in an exhaust flow path of the gas on a downstream stage of the reflux mechanism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas purification apparatus for highly purifying a gas containing a salt derived from a molten salt stored in a vessel, comprising: a reflux mechanism for liquefying the salt, contained in the gas, for return to the molten salt in the vessel; and a filtration mechanism disposed in an exhaust flow path of the gas on a downstream stage of the reflux mechanism, wherein the reflux mechanism comprises a porous body disposed in the exhaust flow path of…
