PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PURIFYING WASTE GASES

摘要

Process and apparatus is disclosed for purifying waste gases containing minute pollutant liquid and solid particles The process comprises treating the gas stream with a fine spray of scrubbing liquid by introducing into the gas stream the spray of droplet size in range of 1 micron or less. The scrubbing liquid is mixed with pollutant particles to wet and enlarge them in a turbulent region without appreciably increasing the pressure of the gaeous stream. The mixed gas stream is passed out of the turbulent region to a zone for removing the enlarged conglomerated contaminate particles from the gas stream. Apparatus is disclosed in which the process is carried out.
