Division 1.10.6 Combined gaseous emissions (e.g. SOX, HCl, HF, boron compounds)
United Kingdom
| Wet scrubbing | In the wet scrubbing process, gaseous compounds are dissolved in a suitable liquid (water or alkaline solution). Downstream of the wet scrubber, the flue-gases are saturated with water and a separation of the droplets is required before discharging the flue-gases. The resulting liquid has to be treated by a waste water process and the insoluble matter is collected by sedimentation or filtration |
