Abstract
Apparatus for the wet purification of gases, in which a wash liquid is sprayed into a gas to be purified and the gas is then forced or drawn through a separating wall having passage slots. The gas flow is divided up by pairs of such slots into pairs of sub-flows inside the wall, the sub-flows of each pair being rapidly accelerated to at least 30 m per second and then made to rebound on one another in a zone which is common to a pair of slots which causes them to be sharply deflected after which they separate and are decelerated. The sub-flows are accelerated by the passage slot construction which narrows inwardly from the exterior of the wall. Preferably two pairs of slots are provided, one pair converging into the wall and another pair diverging from the wall, both pairs opening into the common zone which is in the form of an X, the narrowest points of the slots being in said zone. The total area of the zones relative to the area of the wall is at maximum 15%. The separating wall is constructed from individual profiled bars which are spaced apart to form the passage slots between them. The wall preferably consists of at least two sub-walls which are interconnected by a hinge.
