Highly reactive reagents and compositions for purifying exhaust gases and wastewater, production and use thereof
First Claim
1. Highly reactive reagents for purifying exhaust gases and flue gases, especially from combustion processes, and wastewater with the same or similar pollutants as in the exhaust gases based on mixtures of calcium hydroxide with additives, characterized by:
- a mixture of(a) dry slaked lime with porous ground clay as additive;
or(b) dry foamed slaked lime with ground clay as additive;
wherein the mixture contains about 60 to 99 wt. percent of slaked lime, based on dry weight.

Abstract
This invention concerns highly reactive reagents and compositions for purifying exhaust gases and flue gases and for purifying wastewater as well as the processes for producing same and use thereof.
The reagents and compositions are mixtures of calcium hydroxide with additives, especially clays, powdered bricks, carbon products such as coal dust and flue ash and optionally water glass which are already porous due to their special production and have a high specific surface area of up to about 200 m2 /g.
Using these sorbents, hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, dioxins and furans in addition to heavy metals can be removed from exhaust gases and wastewater. Other advantages include the easy setup of the resulting products and their great safety for dumping.
