A system and process for the recovery of at least one halogenated hydrocarbon from a gas stream. The recovery includes adsorption by exposing the gas stream to an adsorbent with a lattice structure having pore diameters with an average pore opening of between about 5 and about 50 angstroms. The adsorbent is then regenerated by exposing the adsorbent to a purge gas under conditions which efficiently desorb the at least one adsorbed halogenated hydrocarbon from the adsorbent. The at least one halogenated hydrocarbon (and impurities or reaction products) can be condensed from the purge gas and subjected to fractional distillation to provide a recovered halogenated hydrocarbon.

A method for purifying a specific trityl group-containing monodispersed polyethylene glycol from a mixture containing the trityl group-containing monodispersed polyethylene glycol and a specific ditritylated impurity. The method includes performing steps (A), (B) and (C). Step (A): a step of esterifying the hydroxyl group of the trityl group-containing monodispersed polyethylene glycol by a specific method; Step (B): a step of extracting the esterified compound by a specific method; and Step (C): a step of hydrolyzing the esterified compound to obtain the trityl group-containing monodispersed polyethylene glycol.
