The use of a turbulent contactor to absorb a selected gas component from a gas stream. The invention particularly applies to a method of removing selected gas components from a gas stream which includes: bringing the gas stream into contact with a liquid including a solvent or a reagent for the selected gas component in a turbulent contactor, the contactor including a gas inlet, a liquid inlet, an outlet leading to a venturi passage and a tube extending from the outlet back upstream, the tube being perforated and/or being spaced from the periphery of the outlet; subjecting the gas stream and liquid to turbulent conditions in the contactor thereby causing the gas component to be absorbed by the solvent or reagent.
A method of absorbing a selected gas component from a gas stream comprising the steps of:
A method of use of a turbulent contactor including the steps of providing a gas inlet, a liquid inlet, an outlet leading to a venturi passage and a tube extending from the outlet back upstream, the tube being perforated, the tube being spaced from the periphery of the outlet, or the tube being both perforated and spaced from the periphery of the outlet for absorbing a selected gas component from a gas stream by bringing the gas stream into contact with a liquid including a solvent or a reagent for the selected gas component, thereby causing the gas component to be absorbed by the solvent or reagent.
