Method of processing molecules with a gas-liquid contactor

A method of processing gas phase molecules with a gas liquid contactor, comprising the steps of:

• forming a plurality of essentially planar liquid jets, wherein the essentially planar liquid jets are formed with an aqueous slurry comprising a solid concentration in a range from about 0.2% (w/w) to about 30% (w/w), wherein at least one of the plurality of essentially planar liquid jets comprises a width and thickness, wherein the width is at least ten times the thickness;
• providing gas with reactive or soluble gas phase molecules;
• and
• removing at least a portion of the gas phase molecules by a mass transfer interaction between the gas phase molecules and the liquid jets.

A method of processing gas phase molecules with a gas liquid contactor, comprising the steps of:

• forming a plurality of essentially planar liquid jets, wherein the essentially planar liquid jets are formed with an aqueous slurry comprising particles having at least one particle with a size up to about 500 microns, wherein at least one of the plurality of essentially planar liquid jets comprises a thickness, length and width, wherein the length to width ratio is in a range of about 0.3 to about 20;
• providing a gas with a pollutant;
• and
• removing at least a portion of the pollutant from the gas by a mass transfer interaction between the gas phase molecules and the liquid jets.
