Abstract
A method for purifyiing flue gas derived form incinerators burning refuse, wood, or sludge, in which the flue gas is cooled in a spray drier. A dust remover removes the dust from the flue gas. The flue gas is filtered through a filter-bed adsorber having filtering surfaces and packed with an adsorbent containing calcium hydroxide. The filter-bed adsorber is cleaned at intervals for removing adsorbate from the filtering surfaces. An aqueous suspension is prepared from at least some of the adsorbate that is removed from the filtering surfaces, and the flue gas is brought into contact with the suspension in at least one location upstream of the filter-bed adsorber for further separation of contaminates. The aqueous suspension is supplied to the spray drier for improving the purification of the flue gas.
