Improved methods and systems are provided for the on-board removal of sulfur dioxide generated by a marine vessel. The method includes spraying an alkaline fluid into the flue gas to produce a saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid; and flowing the saturated flue gas stream containing the alkaline fluid through a venturi to cause the particulates in the flue gas to impact the alkaline fluid and react at least a portion of the sulfur dioxide with the alkaline fluid.

Techniques for distributing a liquid in a liquid-gas system include flowing a liquid into a system of nozzles and basin of the liquid-gas contacting system; and operating the nozzles and basin system with a distribution sub-assembly configured to operate the nozzles under a plurality of liquid flow rates and maintaining a consistent spatial liquid distribution of the liquid within the distribution sub-assembly at the plurality of liquid flow rates.

Indoor air is purified using a purifying solution in an arrangement capable of removing formaldehyde and other pollutants, such as, for example, particulates. The arrangement can prevent re-vaporization of volatile compounds and can generate air that has been humidified or dehumidified. In one approach, incoming air is contacted with the purifying solution in a packed bed.

A method and device for waste gas dedusting and a dedusting agent used in the method. A dust-containing waste gas (1) and an organic dedusting agent (4) are introduced into a dedusting tower (3), respectively, and make contact with each other in the tower; at least part of the water vapor in the dust-containing waste gas (1) is condensed, and the organic dedusting agent (4) and the condensed water adsorb solid particles, acidic pollutants, organic pollutants and/or heavy metal compounds in the dust-containing waste gas; and the resulting purified gas (2) is emptied out or subjected to a subsequent process. The organic dedusting agent (4) comprises a non-toxic and high boiling point organic solvent composition, being two or more selected from cooking oil, silicone oil, modified silicone oil, liquid-state asphalt oil, tung tree seed oil, liquid-state paraffin wax oil, mineral oil, palm oil and waste cooking oil.
