A gas scrubber and/or mist eliminator for high-velocity gas in the range between about 1,000 to 2,500 feet per minute. The gas flows horizontally through a duct or conduit in which a plurality of generally vertical, high-voidage, fibrous, non-capillary, free-draining bodies are interposed. The gas both passes through and is deflected by the bodies and its mist and/or other components are captured and drained by the bodies. Reentrainment of the drained liquid flowing out of the bodies is prevented. The bodies may be arrays of rows of separate baffles or they may be mounted on vanes.

Apparatus for the continuous removal of mist from a mist-laden gas flowing at a high velocity comprising a generally horizontal flow channel through which said gas is conducted generally horizontally, a plurality of generally vertical, fibrous, high-voidage, non-capillary, free-draining bodies interposed in said flow channel, said bodies being anisotropic with respect to gas flow and gas-flow resistance, said bodies being disposed so that a portion of said gas flows through one or more of said bodies and another portion of said gas is deflected by one or more of said bodies, said bodies removing and draining, along the bodies generally vertically, the mist from said gas during the flow through and deflection, and means for suppressing the reentrainment of mist drained from said bodies into said gas. A scrubber for gas containing contaminants including a generally horizontal flow channel, having walls for confining a fluid in a generally horizontal path and being open at its opposite ends, for conducting said gas in a generally horizontal stream, a plurality of rows of spaced generally vertical baffles interposed in said channel in the path of said stream, each of said baffles being composed of fibrous, high-voidage, non-capillary, free-draining material, and being of substantial length and width, said bodies being anisotropic with respect to gas flow and gas-flow resistance, there being open space between each of said baffles and the baffles immediately adjacent to said each of said baffles in said channel, the baffles in each row being displaced along their row with reference to the baffles of an adjacent row, a portion of said gas passing through the baffles on which it impinges and a portion of said gas being deflected by the baffles on which it impinges, the deflected gas following a tortuous path through said flow channel, means for introducing a liquid into said gas in a region of said stream and/or channel such that contact of said baffles by said liquid will result, said contaminants in the gas passing through the baffles being captured by said liquid, and means for draining the liquid containing the captured contaminants from the gas passing down the baffles.
