Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A method of treating combustion products to remove gaseous and solid polluting components comprising the steps in order of: passing the combustion products through a screen to allow gases and particles of smaller size than mesh size to pass through the screen while retaining particles larger than mesh size in the combustion area, then washing combustion products with steam, then passing a mixture of steam and combustion products through granulated carbon, then washing combustion products with an aqueous solution of potassium aluminum sulfate, aluminum sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, chlorine, and quicklime, and removing any precipitants, then washing combustion products with an aqueous solution of kerosene and naphthalene and removing any precipitants, and then washing combustion products with an aqueous solution of aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, chlorine, quicklime, and sodium carbonate, and removing any precipitants.
