Abstract: The invention relates to a reactor for cleaning flue gases by a dry or quasi-dry sorption process, comprising a flue gas inlet (1) at the bottom of the reactor, an outlet (2) at the top of the reactor, a dry sorbent injection system (3) with at least one dry sorbent outlet (4) for injecting dry sorbent into the reactor, the at least one dry sorbent outlet (4) being arranged between the flue gas inlet (1) and the outlet (2).

Abstract: A scrubber tray for a wet scrubber tower of a flue gas purification device includes a multiplicity of spindles, arranged across an inner horizontal cross section of the wet scrubber tower. Adjacent spindles are arranged at a horizontal distance to each other. At least some of the spindles are pivot-mounted to allow a rotative movement around a corresponding spindle axis and to arrange the respective spindle at a predetermined rotation angle. At least some of the spindles are equipped each with at least one protrusion, which extends outwardly from the respective spindle. The spindles and protrusions are shaped and arranged to provide flow-through openings between adjacent spindles and protrusions respectively. Each flow-through opening defines a corresponding flow-through area, and they add up to 10%-80% of the inner horizontal cross section of the associated scrubber tower, independently of the respective rotation angles of the spindles.
