1. A particle capture system comprising, in series, a gas inlet, a first quenching zone, a particle capture zone, and a gas outlet, the first quenching zone comprising a liquid inlet for the distribution of a first quenching liquid, downstream thereof a gas flow-line to the particle capture zone, and a liquid outlet for the first quenching liquid, said liquid inlet and liquid outlet forming part of a first recirculation loop comprising an upstream reservoir for the first quenching liquid, wherein downstream of the first quenching zone, and upstream of the gas outlet of the particle capture zone, at least a second quenching zone is provided, said second quenching zone having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet for a second quenching liquid, wherein the liquid inlet and liquid outlet of the second quenching zone form part of a second recirculation loop comprising a second reservoir, wherein the second recirculation loop can be operated independently of said first recirculation loop, the term downstream being defined with reference to the flowing direction of a gas stream from the gas outlet, and wherein the particle capture zone comprises a Venturi scrubber.
