摘要:
The invention provides a process for minimizing the emission of particulate matter and precursors thereof from a flue gas stream of an engine comprising particulate matter and precursors thereof and at least one gaseous component. The process includes the steps of obtaining a flue gas stream of an engine comprising particulate matter and precursors thereof; increasing the moisture content of the stream by contacting it with a first aqueous medium in an amount and at a temperature at which at least 50% of the water content of the first aqueous medium is evaporated; whereby a moisture laden gas stream, optionally containing suspension droplets, is formed; cooling the moisture laden gas stream whereby suspension droplets are formed; and applying a centrifugal force to the moisture laden gas stream and to the suspension droplets to effect the swirling thereof, whereby a treated gaseous stream and an aqueous stream are formed.

The invention describes a propeller-less turbine for the conversion of linear flow energy to rotary power. The turbine is based on a plurality of hollow elements, with at least one element having a tapered helical structure. Inlet and outlet define a chamber through which air or water may flow, energy from the flow being delivered to the body of the turbine and thus allowing for highly efficient conversion of linear to rotary energy.

The present invention provides a process for minimizing the emission of particulate matter and precursors thereof from a flue gas stream of an engine comprising particulate matter and precursors thereof and at least one gaseous component, which process comprises the steps of: a. Obtaining a flue gas stream of an engine comprising particulate matter and precursors thereof; b. Increasing the moisture content of the stream by contacting the same with a first aqueous medium in an amount and at a temperature at which at least 50% of the water content of the first aqueous medium is evaporated; whereby a moisture laden gas stream, optionally containing suspension droplets, is formed; c. Cooling the moisture laden gas stream whereby suspension droplets are formed; and d. Applying a centrifugal force to the moisture laden gas stream and to the suspension droplets to effect the swirling thereof; whereby a treated gaseous stream and an aqueous stream are formed; and wherein the content of particulate matter in the treated gaseous stream is reduced by at least 50% compared with that in the hot gas stream as measured by cooling to about 50° C. with no further treatment and wherein the centrifugal force in step d is characterized in that the velocity of the moisture laden gas stream is between 20 m/sec and 120 m/sec.
