The challenges of purification pretreatment process of yellow phosphorous off-gas could limit its application as chemical raw material gas to produce high accessional products. A pilot-scale experiment of the purification process, which included two sub-processes of caustic washing and catalytic oxidation, of yellow phosphorus off-gas was studied in this paper. The results indicated that HF and SO₂ can be removed completely by the caustic washing process. In the process of catalytic oxidation purification, the reaction temperature and oxygen concentration of the off-gas were two crucial factors, through which the impurities were selectively oxidized. The concentrations of PH₃, H₂S, CS₂, HF, SO₂, and COS were less than 1mg/m³ in the off-gas of yellow phosphorus after the purification process under oxygen concentration of below 2%. Sulfur and phosphor compounds were oxidized to S and P₄O₁₀, respectively, in the catalytic oxidation process and adsorbed on the surface of catalysts. This purified gas was qualified to be used as feedstock in C1 chemistry. Furthermore, the deactivated catalysts were easily regenerated and their catalytic activity can be recovered after several regeneration cycles. This study provided evidence that CO derived from purified industrial off-gas could be used as the raw material of many products.
