Abstract: Provided is a method, liquid distributor and reactor for contacting a gas with a liquid in a rotating packed bed. The method comprises providing a rotating packed bed comprising two sets of rotatable packing rings disposed within a chamber and defining an interior region. The rotating packed bed also comprises at least one liquid distributor with an inlet for accepting a liquid, the inlet in communication with an exit port for infusing the liquid into the interior region. The liquid distributor also comprises at least one gas outlet for accepting gas which has passed through the packed bed and for removing the gas from the interior region. The two sets of rotatable packing rings are caused to rotate. Liquid is infused into the interior region by way of the liquid inlet, and gas is injected through at least one gas inlet into the interior region, with the liquid and gas passing through each of the packing rings in countercurrent flow.

Abstract: A fan filter device with one or more fan blades substantially comprising a filter media coated or impregnated with a fluid for removing particulates, such as dust and other pollution, from airflow in a wide variety of environments. The fluid has evaporation and viscosity characteristics suitable for maintaining the filter media in a wet condition at the desired speed and temperature of operation.

Abstract: A filter device for filtering dust from air includes a housing, a dust collecting module, a spraying module, and an exhaust. The housing defines an air inlet near a bottom of the housing and an air outlet near a top of the housing. The dust collecting module is installed in the housing between the air inlet and the air outlet. The spraying module is placed in the housing between the dust collecting module and the air outlet. The exhaust is connected to the housing for generating air pressure difference between near the air outlet and near the air inlet, thereby drawing and introducing air containing dust from the bottom of the housing toward the top of the housing via the air inlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid separating device with a lower section with a fluid feeding device and a liquid discharging device, an upper section with a fluid feeding device and a gas discharging device, a contact device which is constructed in such a manner that gas, which rises from the lower section into the upper section, comes into contact with liquid which sinks from the upper section into the lower section. Thereby, the rising gases can be depleted of components which are soluble in said liquid. Furthermore, a measuring device for determining the quantity of liquid and/or the alterations thereof is provided.

Abstract: An absorbing tower provided with plural spray headers (3) which each have a plurality of spray nozzles (5) and are arranged in a multi-stage state in the flow direction of exhaust gas, in which an absorption liquid containing a slurry of limestone or lime is sprayed through the nozzles (5) to absorb and remove sulfur oxide contained in exhaust gas, wherein each spray nozzle (5) is of an annular spray type (a hollow cone type) and the spray nozzles (5) in the neighborhood of the tower wall have such a structure that the fluid is sprayed radially at spray angles of 50 to 80° with the direction counter to the flow of exhaust gas as the center, while the nozzles (5) in the central part of the tower have such a structure that the fluid is sprayed radially at spray angles of 80 to 130° with the direction counter to the flow thereof as the center.

Abstract: A compact and energy-efficient polluting gas desulfurization apparatus which reduces gas flow pressure loss and the consumption of electrical power. A drum is rotationally supported at its radial center by a horizontal shaft within a fixed duct having a gas inlet port at one end and a gas outlet port at the other end. The right and left sides of the drum and its circumferential surface are lattice-like structures, and the internal space of the drum is filled with gas-liquid contact filler pieces. A slurry holding tank is disposed beneath the rotating drum. Slurry, which is pumped upward by a circulation system, is discharged onto the top of the circumferential surface of the drum at a point offset from the horizontal shaft along the radial axis, thus forming a mechanism able to rotate the drum from the weight of the slurry only and thus eliminating the need for an electric motor.

Abstract: An inert impingement surface that is pliable and which, when set in motion, works to shed itself of particle deposits. The pliable surface may be formed of a plurality of coactive members that co-operate with one another to clean-off the particle deposits from each other's surfaces. The coactive members may be in the form of chains, rods, cables, wires, granular inert materials such as gravel or metal balls or other impact means. The pliable surface may also be formed of a heat-resistant material which is caused to experience a continuing shape change, thereby casting-off the particle deposits adhering to the surface.

Abstract: A scrubber for removing soluble materials from harmful gaseous effluents with high efficiency and safety is disclosed. By using twice mixes of the scrubbing liquid and the harmful gaseous effluent, the scrubber meets the standards of environment protection. The scrubber of this invention also prevents the problems of factory safety presenting in the conventional fume scrubber. Owing to the high efficiency of the mixing of the harmful gaseous effluent and the scrubbing liquid, the production facilities or processing units need not stop operating once the supply of the scrubbing liquid terminates.

Abstract: A device for simultaneously filtering and humidifying an air flow uses an outer casing having a rotatable, reticulated filtering element. The air flow enters the casing and must pass through the filtering element by making abrupt change in directions. Particles in the air flow, due to their greater inertia, will not be able to follow the air flow and, therefore, will not pass through the filtering element. There are expelled through an opening. The air flow exists through an outlet that is within the perimeter of the filtering element. A water projector serves to both humidify the air flow and wetten the filter elements surface in order to capture particles in the air flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluidized-bed scrubber containing fluidizing bodies for purifying gases and to processes for its operation. The invention enables the fluidized-bed scrubber to be dimensioned, and the processes to be carried out, in such a manner that the number of fluidizing bodies is minimized and as much energy as possible is saved, without this decreasing the purifying efficiency.
