摘要

The invention relates to a device for mixing and distributing a gas and a liquid, which is disposed upstream of a granular bed. The inventive device comprises a means for feeding the gas and the liquid and an essentially-horizontal lower plate which is equipped with a plurality of funnels that are uniformly distributed on the surface thereof. Each of the aforementioned funnels comprises an upper part and a lower end which are communicated with the underside of the plate, said upper part being equipped with at least one lateral hole. The improvement provided by the invention lies in the fact that the above-mentioned feed means comprises an essentially-horizontal upper plate, above which the gas and liquid are supplied, said upper plate being provided with means for conveying the liquid to the lower plate and means for separating and conveying the gas.
