Abstract: A device for purifying smoke gases comprising a cylindrical container with a gas inlet at its bottom region and a gas exit for purified gas in its top region, as well as an inlet for washing liquid and an exit for spent washing liquid, wherein the container internally does not include any current baffles so that the gas and liquid can rotate freely, and wherein the container internally has a stirring device of perforated plates, e.g. netting discs, for optimal mixing of gas and fluid. It is also disclosed a process for purifying such smoke gases, wherein such a purification device is used.
