Scrubbing apparatus for effecting contact between polluted air and a scrubbing liquid may define a serpentine path mounted on a rooftop, a tank in which contact between the polluted gas and the scrubbing liquid is effected by projecting the scrubbing liquid onto a rotating propeller to effect atomization of the scrubbing liquid or contact between the scrubbing liquid and the polluted air can be effected by dripping scrubbing liquid onto filters through which the polluted air passes. Purification of the scrubbing air is enhanced by producing turbulence in the air carrying the scrubbing liquid by passing the air carrying the scrubbing liquid between closely adjacent, flexible, vibrating sheets disposed parallel to the gas flow. The vibrating characteristics of the flexible sheets can be altered by stretching such sheets and/or by placing such sheets alongside a hard surface struck by the flexible sheets.
A process for scrubbing polluted gas which comprises providing a predetermined gas flow path having therein two closely-spaced, resilient vibratory sheet means disposed in generally parallel relationship and generally parallel to such gas flow path for forming a narrow slit between the sheet means, moving gas through such slit and thereby effecting vibration of the vibratory sheet means, and supplying scrubbing liquid to such polluted gas moving through such gas flow path.
Scrubbing apparatus for purifying gas comprising passage means for gas containing gaseous pollutant, including an inlet and an outlet, establishing a gas flow path for flow of polluted gas through liquid supply means for supplying scrubbing liquid to polluted gas flowing alongsuch path to be scrubbed by removal of gaseous pollutant from such polluted gas by such scrubbing liquid, and dynamic turbulent mixing means located in the gas flow path including resilient vibratory sheet means disposed substantially parallel to the direction of gas flow along the gas flow path for flailing the polluted gas and scrubbing liquid and thereby creating substantial turbulence in the polluted gas flow enchancing contact of the scrubbing liquid and and gaseous pollutant carried by the polluted gas.
Scrubbing apparatus for purifying gas comprising passage means, including an inlet through the apparatus from said inlet to said outlet, scrubbing liquid supply means for supplying scrubbing liquid to polluted gas to be scrubbed flowing along such path, a baffle plate disposed transversely of the gas flow path and having an aperture therethrough, and dynamic turbulent mixing means including a boot in registration with said baffle plate aperture and projecting beyond the downstream side of said baffle plate, said boot having two resilient sheet members disposed in substantially parallel adjacent relationship forming a gas discharge passage therebetween.
Scrubbing apparatus for purifying gas comprising passing means, including an inlet and an outlet, establishing a gas flow path for flow of gas through the apparatus for said inlet to said outlet, scrubbing means for supplying scrubbing liquid to polluted gas to be scrubbed flowing along such path, and dynamic turbulent mixing means including resilient vibratory sheet means disposed in closely adjacent relationship and located in the gas flow path for creating substantial turbulence in the polluted gas flow by vibration of said sheet means and thereby enhancing contact of the scrubbing liquid and the pollutant carried by the polluted gas.
Dynamic gas-agitating apparatus comprising resilient vibratory sheet means including two resilient sheet members in generally parallel side-by-side relationship, and hard separator sheet means located between said resilient sheet members and disposed substantially parallel to said resilient sheet members.
Scrubbing apparatus for purfying gas comprising passage means including an inlet and an outlet, establishing a gas flow path for flow of gas through the apparatus from said inlet to said outlet, scrubbing liquid supply means for supplying scrubbing liquid to polluted gas to be scrubbed flowing along such path, two resilient vibratory sheet members in generally parallel, side-by-side relationship disposed substantially parallel to the direction of gas flow along the gas flow path for flailing the polluted gas and scrubbing liquid, and hard separator sheet means located between said resilient vibratory sheet members and disposed substantially parallel to said resilient vibratory sheet members to be struck by said resilient vibratory sheet members by flailing of said resilient vibratory sheet members effected by flow of gas between said resilient vibratory sheet members.
Scrubbing apparatus for purifying gas comprising two resilient vibratory sheet members in generally parallel, closely adjacent, side-by-side relationship forming a gas flow path slit therebetween, means for effecting flow of polluted gas through said gas flow path slit, and scrubbing liquid supply means for supplying scrubbing liquid to such polluted gas.
