Title: Innovations of Jonas S Klingspor in Environmental Technology
Introduction
Jonas S Klingspor is an accomplished inventor based in Birmingham, AL (US). He has made significant contributions to environmental technology, particularly in the field of air pollution control. His innovative approach to scrubbing sulfur oxides from combustion effluents has garnered attention in the industry.
Latest Patents
Klingspor holds a patent for a "Wet scrubbing method and apparatus for removing sulfur oxides." This invention focuses on the efficient removal of sulfur oxides (SO.sub.x) from combustion effluents using aqueous limestone slurries. The method enhances efficiency while reducing capital and operating costs. The preferred embodiment features a single-loop, open-tower countercurrent limestone wet scrubber, which allows for increased effluent flow rates and decreased L/G values and reaction tank residence times. The design improvements include an advanced entrainment eliminator, novel nozzle placement, and the use of a hydrocyclone to separate and recycle smaller limestone particles from the byproduct gypsum. The limestone is finely reduced to about 8 microns or less, with over 99% of the particles by weight being less than 44 microns, and is introduced into a scrubbing slurry that effectively contacts SO.sub.x-laden effluent.
