Abstract: The invention relates to a device for applying liquid paint to an application surface, particularly for applying dispersion paint onto a wall surface, wherein a method is implemented in which the paint is shot drop-wise onto the application surface, and a paint film is formed by the drops flowing into each other on the application surface.

Abstract: A process for reducing pollutants, particularly nitrogen oxides from combustion gases during a combustion process that takes place while oxygen is supplied, includes providing oxygen needed for the combustion process by separating oxygen from a gas mixture containing oxygen and nitrogen in a two-step process including (a) enriching the gas mixture with oxygen in a first step to provide an enriched gas mixture; and (b) separating oxygen out of the enriched gas mixture in a second step, wherein, during at least one step oxygen depleted gas mixture is removed via an outlet provided with permeability means that cause the outlet to have a higher permeability for nitrogen than oxygen.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for reducing harmful substances, particularly nitrogen oxides, in combustion exhaust gases in a combustion process performed with an oxygen-nitrogen-air mixture (atmosphere). At least one conduit (chamber 48) that conducts the oxygen-nitrogen-air mixture is provided and associated with an exhaust gas conduit (34) that is connected to a combustion chamber, with the conduit being provided with an intermediate wall (44) that separator the chamber is permeable to the oxygen or stores it. Of the oxygen-nitrogen-air mixture, only the oxygen is supplied to a combustion waste gas that is conducted to a combustion chamber.
