Abstract For decontaminating, and deodorizing or otherwise treating polluted gases, a stream of gases is introduced into one end and at a lower zone of a baffle chamber which is thoroughly baffled to prevent channelization of the gases therethrough. Spray means discharge a fine mist of decontaminating fluid into the stream of polluted gases closely adjacent their low point of entry into the baffle chamber and in such a direction that the fine mist of spray material is entrained in the incoming gases. As the polluted gases rise and proceed in tortuous paths through the baffle chamber the malodorous chemical elements therein are intimately exposed to the oxidation reduction reaction of the oxidizing agents in the entrained spray material causing drop out of contaminants as a new chemical so that when the gases are discharged from the baffle chamber they are thoroughly reduced to a nonodorous or acceptable odor compound.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A mechanism for treating polluted gases as in claim 1 wherein said baffle chamber comprises: a rectangular housing; a first and a second partition in spaced relation within said housing for dividing said baffle chamber into a plurality of compartments including a mixing compartment at the gas inlet end, a discharge compartment at the gas outlet end and a central compartment therebetween; spaced notches at the upper end of the first partition between the mixing and central compartments for communicating the same; spaced notches at the lower end of the second partition between the central and discharge compartment for communicating the same and in a plane comparable to the notches in said first partition; upper baffle means at the lower margin of the notches in said first partition and traversing both of said mixing and central compartments; lower baffle means at the upper margin of the notches in said second partition and traversing said central and discharge compartments in spaced relation below said upper baffle means; and a plurality of intermediate baffles extending through each of said first and second partitions and across each of said compartments in offset relation to the plane of said upper and lower baffle means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A mechanism for treating polluted gases as claimed in claim 2 wherein the rectangular housing comprises a plurality of similar, rectangular units of similar cross-sectional size and shape connected together, end-to-end to divide the same into additional pairs of central compartments by similarly notched partitions and form a continuous, elongated baffle chamber of multiple units.
