Process for the separation of particulate solids from vapors

摘要

A process and related apparatus for separating particulate solids from a stream comprising vapors and particulate solids passed in admixture through an elongated contacting zone. The stream is discharged at an angle to the vertical along the inside wall of a cylindrical disengagement zone. The solids separate due to centripetal acceleration and fall to the bottom of the disengagement zone.
