Abstract

The present invention provides a process for the purification of exhaust gases which process enables to effectively inhibit the discharge of the dioxins by low-cost modification of already existing incineration facilities which are formed from an incinerator and an electric dust collector or cyclone. Incinerator exhaust gases a dedusted with an electric dust collector or cyclone, and then treated with a ceramic filter to sufficiently remove dust from the exhaust gases and brought into contact with a catalyst to decompose and thereby remove the dioxins which are contained in the exhaust gases.
