Separation of acid gas from combustion gases

摘要

A method of removing carbon dioxide and other acid gas components from combustion gas. The method comprises bringing the combustion gas into contact with a liquid including a solvent or reagent for the carbon dioxide and other acid gases and subjecting the combustion gas and liquid to turbulent mixing conditions thereby causing the carbon dioxide and other acid gases to be absorbed by the solvent or reagent. A gas phase and a liquid phase are then separated.
