Electro-absorption unit for the removal of volatile organic compounds and odorants in gas streams

Electro-absorption unit for the removal of volatile organic compounds and odorants from gas streams. An electro-absorption unit for the treatment of gas streams contaminated with volatile organic compounds and odorants, where the unit combines an absorption column in the upper part with an electrochemical cell in the lower part. Both parts are adjacent and in contact through a support grid for the packing of the absorption column. The electrochemical cell also includes, in a lower cover, conductive supports for connecting the electromotive force source to the electrodes. The gas to be degraded enters through the interface between the support grid and the column, flowing countercurrently to the liquid phase.
