wet scrubbing
Wet scrubbing is a pollution control technology used to remove harmful particles and gases from industrial exhaust streams. It involves passing the exhaust through a liquid, usually water or a chemical solution, which captures and neutralizes pollutants. This process is effective for reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and other harmful substances.
The liquid used in wet scrubbing can be recirculated, making the process more efficient and environmentally friendly. After the pollutants are captured, the treated air is released into the atmosphere, while the collected waste can be further processed or disposed of safely. Wet scrubbing is commonly used in industries such as power generation and chemical manufacturing.
