Process and apparatus for purifying waste gases

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6519516
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 gaseous 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.
