A chemical-mechanical process whereby the contamination occurring throughncombustion of fossil fuels, petroleum and its by-products is reduced by altering the finalnchemical composition of the resulting gases; by reducing the totality of gases: SOx,nNOx, VOC or HC, CO and CO2 and particle matter comprising the effluent andnreleasing a greater quantity of oxygen into the atmosphere than the one resulting post-combustion.nA liquid chemical solution intervenes in this process, comprised ofndistilled water, sodium bicarbonate and urea, a mechanical device containing it thatnallows this solution to enter into contact with the gases from combustion, washing them,nand also one or several filtering elements that are part of the mechanical device,ncomprised of a polymeric hydrocarbon fiber that chemically reacts in the presence ofncarbon, which produce the chain reaction of the resulting harmful gases in internalncombustion engines, boilers, stacks, stationary or mobile sources, reducing theirnemissions and retaining the greater part of the solid elements and hydrocarbons insidenthe device and returning a gas effluent into the atmosphere that is richer in oxygen andnhas a very small amount of the remaining gases and particle matter than what wasncontained in the original effluent. |
