Abstract
Abstract A centrifugating device for reacting gases or vapors with liquids or with liquid or solid substances finely distributed in liquids, comprises a centrically arranged rotor shaft to which rotor wheels are attached which carry centrifugating or fling members with reaction stages being formed by fixed partitions between the rotor wheels. The centrifugating members at least, in part, are made in the form of bristles, and baffles are located on the rotor wheels. The fling and baffle members serve to destroy and re-form the liquid surface.
