[0030] The working principle of an embodiment of the utility model: the utility model is based on the countercurrent principle. During use, the flue gas water to be reacted enters the annular water distributor 3 located at the bottom of the reactor body 1 through the water inlet pipe 2, and then evenly enters the reactor body 1. The water flows countercurrently from bottom to top through the limestone filler 14 to react fully and evenly with it, and at the same time, it will intercept and adsorb impurities in the raw water. The filtrate after the reaction is collected at the top of the reactor body 1, and flows out through the outlet overflow weir plate 8 and the outlet pipe 9 to complete the reaction process; the external compressed air enters the pump cavity in the air lift pump 5 through the compressed air intake hose 11. During the process of the compressed air rising in the pump pipe, the pressure in the pump pipe will be lower than the external pressure. The pressure difference between the inside and outside of the lift pump 5 causes the filler and water mixture at the bottom of the reactor to rise along the pipeline of the air lift pump 5. The limestone particles participating in the reaction gathered at the bottom of the reactor body 1 are lifted to the filler scrubber 6 located at the top of the reactor through the air lift pump 5. When the filler When the mixture of calcium sulfate and water leaves the outlet of the air lift pump 5, it falls into the filler scrubber 6 at a decreasing rate due to gravity. The filler scrubber 6 is in the form of a double-sided corrugated tube. When the filler descends through the tortuous path, it is forced to do eddy motion. The calcium sulfate and other impurities coated on the limestone are separated from the limestone particles through the turbulent effect. The separated calcium sulfate and other impurities are in powder form. The limestone particles have a relatively large particle size. The removed impurities are washed by the rising water flow and enter the wastewater overflow device 7. The wastewater overflow device 7 is internally provided with an adjusting weir to control the liquid level difference between the cleaning wastewater and the external produced water, so as to ensure that the wastewater discharge volume is minimized under the premise of meeting the turbidity of the outlet water. The separated impurities are discharged through the wastewater overflow device 7 and the sewage pipe 10, and the net filler returns to the reactor 1 by its own weight to realize continuous reaction. The guide cone 4 at the lower part of the reactor guides the filler to pass through the reaction area better, and the exhaust pipe 12 at the water inlet end is used to discharge the gas in the water inlet pipe in time to increase the water inlet flow rate.
