Abstract

A device for introducing a liquid or gaseous reactant into a gas flow includes at least one outlet opening for the emergence of a reactant flow in a direction counter to a gas flow direction. At least one baffle is disposed upstream of the at least one outlet opening, as seen in the gas flow direction, for splitting the reactant flow emerging from the at least one outlet opening into at least two partial flows. At least one mixing element is preferably downstream of the at least one outlet opening, as seen in the gas flow direction, for turbulent mixing of the reactant and/or the gas flow.
