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.
