Abstract

Abstract A gas-liquid contacting apparatus particularly adapted for the separation and precipitation of microparticulate liquid micromists from a carrier gas comprising filters made of filter cloth through which the gas is forced to pass. The filters are preferably of tubular or bag-like form and may consist of single or multiple filter cloth layers, if required, with felted or tangled fibers placed as intermediate layer between two filter cloth layers. The filters are attached to the gas inlet compartment by specific collars which permit rapid removal and exchange. By providing a special extension piece or counterweight at the lower part of the filter a gas seal is formed at the bottom of the apparatus housing. The filters are continuously provided during filtration with a liquid washing layer forming a microsieve for intercepting the liquid micromists contained in the carrier gas.
