Abstract

A method of cooling hot flue or process gases containing halogenous compounds in two successively located circulating fluidized bed reactors. In the first reactor the gases are cooled to a temperature of >400.degree. C. In the second reactor the gases are rapidly cooled to below a temperature zone of 250.degree.-400.degree. C. In the first reactor the gases are brought into contact with a catalytic material capable of destroying polyhalogenous compounds. A retention time of 1-10 seconds, preferably 2-5 seconds, is provided for the gases in the first reactor.
