Abstract
An apparatus provides purification of waste gases by adding particles of reagent and/or absorbent, which react with the pollutants in the waste gases, to the gases, and by introducing the gases into a wetting reactor for activating the reagent or absorbent contained in the gases. Gases are conveyed to at least two levels in the reactor through inlets so that a first portion of the gases is introduced into a wetting zone and a second portion of the gases below the wetting zone. A high density of particles is maintained in the wetting zone by recycling to the wetting zone particles separated from the gas above the wetting zone.
