System for eliminating environmental pollution

Claim 1

A system for eliminating the discharge into the atmosphere of gasses polluted with carbon particulates including in combination, a source of the polluted gas including incinerator means for firing rubbish, said incinerator means comprising means for shreading and feeding the rubbish into the incinerator, a fire box and a baffle of fire brick substantially triangular in cross-section which extends upwardly into said fire box to slow the fall of the rubbish in the fire box to provide ample time for burning the same, bath means for receiving and cooling the noncombustibles in the rubbish, and means for conveying the cooled noncombustibles from said incinerator means for salvage thereof substantially without the escape of the gasses of combustion from the incinerator means, a compression tank, means for taking a suction on the gas at said source and discharging substantially all of the gas into said compression tank, nozzle means for applying a fine spray of water into said compression tank in mixture with the gas, filter means in said compression tank including limestone rock in the form of rip rap, said suction means for drawing the gas comprising said mixture of fine spray and carbon particulates through said filter means to remove said carbon particulates, means for collecting the water used in said spray in said filter means and recirculating the same back through said nozzle means, a bath tank of water, a header in said bath tank, said suction means discharging the scrubbed gas into said header, a plurality of ducts positioned below the surface of the water in said bath tank and extending transverse from said header out into said tank, each duct including a plurality of spaced apart small apertures and terminating in a goose-neck portion directed into the bath water which has a diameter reduced from the diameter of said duct, a plurality of agitating fans one for each duct positioned in said bath tank adjacent each gooseneck portion, said small apertures, said goose-neck portion and said fans cooperating to cause agitation of the water to thoroughly mix the gas in said bath water, and purifying means including a filter box having alternate layers of activated charcoal and said connected to said bath tank for purifying the bath water, and means for draining the purified bath from said purifier means as clean water.
