Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03008106A1] A gas/liquid contactor apparatus comprises a vortex chamber (12) having at least one tangential inlet port (13) for gas, an axial gas outlet port (14), and, within the chamber, a liquid spray generator (18,19). An upper chamber (31) has a baffle (32) and a gas outlet conduit (33) shaped so that liquid droplets, from any liquid carried over in the gas stream, which collect and coalesce on the underside of the top surfaces of the upper chamber (31) flow, under the combined effect of gravity and the gas flow on the surfaces, outwardly and downwardly to the side wall of the upper chamber (31).
