Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a flue gas treatment apparatus for treating flue gas in which a contaminant in the form of fine solid particles and a gaseous air pollutant are mixed. In the flue gas treatment apparatus, a gas suction portion (29a) for drawing flue gas therethrough is formed in a funnel (27), jet nozzles (30a,30b,30c) for jetting out compressed gas along an inner peripheral wall of the funnel 27 are provided adjacent the gas suction port (29a), and a discharge port (27a) is formed in a lower part of the funnel (27).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A treatment system for separating contaminants from a flue gas; said contaminants include a combination of large and small sized fine-solid particles, and gaseous contaminants; said treatment system comprising: means for removing said large sized fine-solid contaminants from said flue gas; means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas, including an outer container, an inner container and a shroud; means for supplying compressed gas into said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas; means for supplying said flue gas to said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas; and wherein said inner container is generally funnel-shaped and is arranged within said outer container such that a narrow portion of said inner container is directed toward said means for supplying said flue gas, and a wide portion of said inner container is directed toward said means for supplying compressed air; and said inner container, said outer container, and said shroud are arranged to allow said flue gas to flow between said inner and outer containers and into said shroud.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
182 words
A treatment system for separating contaminants from a flue gas; said contaminants include a combination of large and small sized fine-solid particles, and gaseous contaminants; said treatment system comprising: means for removing said large sized fine-solid contaminants from said flue gas; means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas, including an outer container, an inner container and a shroud; means for supplying compressed gas into said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas; means for supplying said flue gas to said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas; and wherein said inner container is generally funnel-shaped and is arranged within said outer container such that a narrow portion of said inner container is directed toward said means for supplying said flue gas, and a wide portion of said inner container is directed toward said means for supplying compressed air; and said inner container, said outer container, and said shroud are arranged to allow said flue gas to flow between said inner and outer containers and into said shroud.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
A treatment system according to claim 1, wherein: said means for supplying compressed gas supplies said compressed gas into said wide portion of said inner container such that said flue gas flows from said shroud into said wide portion of said inner container through a predetermined clearance; said supplied compressed gas co-acts with said inner container to alter environmental conditions within said inner container such that said gaseous contaminants in said flue gas is changed into liquified contaminants; and said liquified contaminants absorb said small sized fine-solid contaminates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A treatment system according to claim 2, further comprising: means for disposing said liquified contaminants with adsorbed small sized fine-solid contaminates from said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas; and means for further treating said flue gas subsequent to treatment by said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A treatment system according to claim 2, further comprising: means for treating an overflow of said flue gas from said means for removing said small sized fine-solid contaminates from said flue gas.
