Method of cleaning gas from solid and gaseous matter and apparatus materializing same

An apparatus for materializing the method of cleaning gas from solid and gaseous matter which comprises a first means of scrubbing the gas carried out wherein is a first stage of scrubbing the gas with a liquid, said means being located upstream of the rest of units passing wherethrough is the gas stream and being provided in the form of a scrubbing tower;

• said scrubbing tower having an upper and lower end faces and a side wall;
• a connection admitted wherethrough into said scrubbing tower is the gas, which is located in said upper end face of said scrubbing tower;
• a connection for discharging the gas from said scrubbing tower, which is located in a lower part of said side wall of said scrubbing tower;
• a convergent cone of said scrubbing tower having a lower edge, which is located in an upper part of said scrubbing tower and is attached to the side wall of said scrubbing tower;
• nozzles admitted wherethrough into said scrubbing tower is the scrubbing liquid, which are attached to the side wall of said scrubbing tower above said lower edge of said convergent cone and are directed downwards so as to make acute angles with a horizontal plane;
• a second means of scrubbing the gas carried out wherein is a second stage of scrubbing the gas with the liquid which is located downstream of said first means of scrubbing and is provided in the form of a Venturi tube having an upper and lower end faces and a side wall;
• a connection admitted wherethrough into said Venturi tube is the gas, said connection being located at said upper end face of said Venturi tube and connected -- through a common fluid stream -- to said connection for discharging the gas from said scrubbing tower;
• a connection admitted wherethrough into said Venturi tube is the scrubbing liquid, which is located in said upper end face of said Venturi tube;
• a connection discharged wherethrough from said Venturi tube is the gas which is located in a lower part of said Venturi tube;
• at least one electric precipitator;
• a housing of each said electric precipitator having a lower and an upper part and a side wall;
• a connection admitted wherethrough into said electric precipitator is the gas which is located in the lower part of said housing of said electric precipitator and is connected by a common fluid stream to said connection discharged wherethrough from said Venturi tube is the gas;
• a connection discharged wherethrough from said electric precipitator is the gas which is located in the upper part of said housing of said electric precipitator;
• a frame of said electric precipitator which is located in said upper part of the housing of said electric precipitator and is electrically connected to a source of power;
• an upper perforated plate of said electric precipitator which is attached to the upper part of said side wall of the housing of said electric precipitator;
• a lower perforated plate of said electric precipitator which is attached to the lower part of said side wall of the housing of said electric precipitator;
• earthed collecting electrodes of said electric precipitator which have longitudinal axes, cylindrical walls, upper and lower edges, are shaped as hollow cylinders and interposed vertically between said upper and lower perforated plates so that a distance between said longitudinal axes of said collecting electrodes is 1.2-1.5 times the diameter of the collecting electrodes;
• said collecting electrodes of said electric precipitator which are secured to said upper and lower perforated plates;
• said upper and lower perforated plates and said collecting electrodes of said electric precipitator which are secured so that an air-tight space filled with a cooling agent is formed between said side wall of said housing, said cylindrical walls of said collecting electrodes and said upper and lower perforated plates;
• a connection admitted wherethrough is the cooling agent of said electric precipitator which is located in said side wall of the housing of said electric precipitator between said upper and lower perforated plates;
• a connection discharged wherethrough is the cooling agent of said electric precipitator which is located in said side wall of said housing of said electric precipitator between said upper and lower perforated plates;
• discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator having upper edges, cylindrical upper parts and conical lower parts, whereby said discharge electrodes are electrically connected to said frame and suspended therefrom inside said collecting electrodes in coaxial positions therewith;
• at least two separate identical cylindrical sections of said discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator which have end faces and a side wall, are located one above the other and rigidly interconnected at said end faces;
• rectangular strips of said discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator having inward and outward edges, whereby said rectangular plates are secured with their inward edges to said side wall of said upper cylindrical sections so as to form the same angle with each other;
• trapeziform strips of said discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator having inward and outward edges, whereby said trapeziform strips are secured with their inward edges to said side wall of said lower cylindrical section so as to form the same angle with each other;
• said rectangular and trapeziform strips of said discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator which are secured to said adjacent cylindrical sections so as to be displaced relative to each other in a horizontal plane;
• said upper edges of said discharge electrodes of said electric precipitator which are located below said upper edges of said collecting electrodes at a distance 1.7-2.0 times the distance between said cylindrical walls of said collecting electrodes and said outward edges of said rectangular strips of said discharge electrodes.
