Abstract

The invention relates to methods for removing gaseous contaminants and aerosols from a vapor-saturated gas stream, in which method a gas stream containinga) at least one gaseous contaminant which is soluble in a scrubbing liquid, with or without salt formation, andb) at least one aerosol with a particle size from 0.01 to 10 μm,is brought into contact, in a scrubber column, with a scrubbing liquid, the temperature of which is lower by at least 2° C. than the temperature of the gas stream, resulting in the formation of a vapor phase, the degree of saturation S of which is greater than 1, and in the removal of the gaseous and particulate contaminants from the gas stream.
