APPAREIL ET PROCEDE POUR LA MISE AU CONTACT D'UN GAZ AVEC UN LIQUIDE

摘要

An apparatus for putting a gas into contact with a liquid, especially for separating solid or liquid particles in suspension in said gas or for eliminating certain gaseous constituents, said apparatus comprising a space in the form of a diffuser adapted to effect intimate mixing of the gas and liquid by means of the formation of a turbulent and dense suspension of drops forming a kind of semi-stationary fluidized bed. The gas and liquid pass together into the bottom of the diffuser which has the form of a divergent conduit in which is created a closed circulation of liquid effecting a continuous renewal of the bed, the impurities of the gas being treated during this circulation by physical collection with or without chemical reaction, followed by a centrifugal action which separates the gas from the drops of liquid, the liquid thus recovered being wholly or partly re-cycled.
