Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for recovering and/or removing organic compounds from gas flows, wherein the method comprises the step of: removing the organic compounds from the gas flow using an adsorber and desorbing the organic compounds using microwaves, characterized in that the adsorber is a finely dispersed mixture of a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic adsorbent.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing the content of nitrogen oxides in the flue gases produced by the combustion of fuel gas and combustion air introduced into a burner connected to a furnace are provided. The methods basically comprise the steps of conducting the combustion air to the burner, providing a chamber outside of the burner and furnace for mixing flue gases from the furnace with the fuel gas, discharging the fuel gas in the form of a fuel jet into the mixing chamber so that flue gases from the furnace are drawn into the chamber and mixed with and dilute the fuel gas therein and conducting the resulting mixture of flue gases and fuel gas to the burner wherein the mixture is combined with the combustion air and burned in the furnace.

Abstract: In a process and corresponding device for scrubbing acidic gases out of flue gases using adsorbent-containing suspensions, the flue gases are conveyed into a scrubber with narrowing channels and accelerated in a first stage in a direction opposite to the flow of suspension droplets and in a second stage in the same direction as the flow of liquid droplets, the suspension having already been broken down into droplets before or at the beginning of the acceleration section. Reflux of the suspension into the acceleration section is prevented by the shape of the channels. Flue gas and suspension droplets react and in the connecting first mist precipitator, the droplets are turned around 180° in the direction of gravitational forces.
