Abstract

Wet scrubbing gases containing undesirable constituents by passing the gases at a temperature above 500K. in contact with the melt of an inorganic substance to remove the undesirable constituents. The melt together with a portion of the purified gas as a propellant is introduced into a binary nozzle to atomize the melt into fine particles which contact the gases to be purified.
