DEFINITION

Classification: 208/162

(under subclass 161) Processes wherein the fines separation is facilitated by use of a liquid.

(1) Note. The liquid may act to agglomerate the fines. The liquid may be formed in situ by partial condensation of effluent vapor or may be an added liquid. The technique may involve counter-current scrubbing of the effluent product. Subsequent treatments of the resulting slurry of fines such as washing or filtering the same may be included, per se, as necessarily involving a separation of fines from the effluent in the presence of a liquid.
