An exhaust control fluidized bed apparatus for removing contaminants from a gaseous exhaust. A system for removing contaminants from an effluent comprises an inverted venturi shaped fluidized bed apparatus characterized by a tilt and / or agitation method. The system includes, but is not limited to, a number of components such as inflow sources, fluidized bed devices, post filter devices, and waste discharge units, which are separated, integrated, bypassed, and Can be reconfigured according to specific use emission regulations. The filter media is a mass of reactant disposed within the fluidized bed and is in intimate contact with the effluent as it passes through the fluidized bed. The reactant mass contains an amalgam-forming metal that chemically combines with the effluent passing through the system. A method for removing contaminants from gaseous and non-gaseous emissions is also presented. [Selection figure] None |
