Deep Physical-Chemical Purification of Gas Medium in Artificial Ecosystems

The results of experiments on application of a newly developed facility for oxidation of volatile organic compounds on a platinum catalyst are presented. The feasibility of using this method in artificial ecosystems as a whole and in mass exchange of closed biological-technical life support systems in particular is shown. The possibility of deep purification of gas emitted from the reactor of physical-chemical processing of organic wastes is demonstrated. Wheat growing experiment on using the facility for oxidation of volatile organic compounds in a sealed chamber was performed. No adverse effect of probable toxic oxidation products on wheat plants during a 4-day experiment was determined.
