    Abstract: Process for catalytic ultrapurification of inert gases by reacting the oxygen contained therein with hydrogen in the presence of Pd catalysts with subsequent adsorption of the residual oxygen on copper-containing adsorbents and by precipitating the water formed, the hydrogen being added, prior to the reaction, to the inert gas to be purified in periodically fluctuating amounts, in such a way that the hydrogen is present, alternately, in substoichiometric or in excess amounts with respect to the oxygen present. Nitrogen and/or argon can be brought to a purity of less than 10 ppm of impurities, especially oxygen.
