Process and apparatus for the absorptive removal of pollutants from waste gases

摘要

Waste gases are purged by adding to the gas while it flows through an absorber a neutralizing agent together with water and then subjecting the gas to cooling so as to evaporate the added liquid. The adsorption then results in a reaction with the neutralizing agent whereby dry salts are formed which are removed from the process. The temperature of the waste gas is automatically and continuously measured and the volume of the water is adjusted automatically and continously in accordance with the temperature measurements. The amount of waste gases is furthermore automatically and continuously measured, preferably at several places of the process, and the amount of neutralizing agent is continuously and automatically adjusted to the latter measurements so as to obtain always the stoichiometric equivalent for the reaction with the pollutants.
