Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating a waste liquid from a wet exhaust gas treating device. In a waste diminishing system which has heretofore been used, a necessary distance of a flue between a spray nozzle and a dry electric dust collector has been within the range of about 30 to about 40 meters. The present invention is characterized by rendering vacant a first chamber of the dry dust collector, or alternatively providing a vacant chamber on the upstream side of the dry dust collector in order to treat an exhaust gas, whereby the length of the aforesaid fue can be reduced to about 10 meters or less.

Abstract: A method for treating an effluent in an exhaust gas treating apparatus, which method comprises the steps of introducing the exhaust gas into a dry dust collector where a dust contained in the exhaust gas is removed; guiding the exhaust gas to a wet exhaust gas treating device where the exhaust gas is cleaned; and pouring the effluent discharged from the wet exhaust gas treating device into a stream above the dry dust collector where a dry solid matter is collected, characterized in that an amount of the effluent from the wet exhaust gas treating device is adjusted in accordance with a concentration of a halogen or a suspended material in the effluent from the wet exhaust gas treating device.
