Improved mist eliminator for use in pulp washers and the like, and method of use of such is disclosed. A cyclonic gas/liquid separator for a gas/liquid mixture flowing vertically upward therethrough includes a cylindrical housing, a top wall having a gas outlet, a gas/liquid inlet, and a cyclonic-flow-inducing vane assembly spanning the inlet. The improvement includes an annular wall transverse to the vane assembly positioned between the vane assembly and the housing. The annular wall, in combination with the vane assembly and housing, defines an annular volume wherein separated liquid may drain downwardly toward the annular wall substantially without resistance from the gas/liquid flow. A drain carries the separated liquid directly to a liquid reservoir.

[ What is claimed is:] [13.] Method for separating liquids existing in a gas stream in a processing apparatus having a suction box receptacle with a reservoir of liquid disposed therein, said method comprising:(1) positioning a gas/liquid separator including a generally cylindrical housing along a longitudinal axis, a gas/liquid inlet and a gas outlet disposed at opposing ends of said housing to define a separation chamber therebetween, cyclonic-flow-inducing vane assembly disposed in said housing, an annular wall transverse to said vane assembly disposed between said vane assembly and said housing and inclined from said longitudinal axis and at least one drain in said annular wall in communication with said chamber, proximate said suction box receptacle such that said drain is in communication with said reservoir of liquid;(2) drawing said gas stream through said gas/liquid separator; and(3) draining liquids from said separator into said reservoir of liquid.
