Removal of NOx and SOx from coal combustion flue gases utilizing activated char and microwave energy

摘要

The Clean Air Act of 1990 mandates severe reductions in the levels of SOx and NOx emitted by coal-fired power plants. The lack of efficient and cost-effective flue gas desulfurization and denitrification technologies has placed high sulfur coals on the endangered list for utility burning. Clearly, new innovative and cost effective flue gas desulfurization and denitrification technologies are needed.
