"APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING AN AIRFLOW CONTAINING PARTICULAR MATERIALS, METHOD FOR TREATING EMISSIONS FROM A COAL-OPERATED PLANT, METHOD FOR REDUCING WASTE IN WASTE MATERIAL WASTE WASTE . It is an apparatus (10) and a method for recovering elemental carbon, elemental sulfur, elemental iron, elemental gold and other elemental materials from an air stream, which includes a funnel-shaped receiver (14) and a body. inverted cone shaped electrode node (12) spaced from the funnel receiver, a funnel shaped reaction zone (45) between the outer face of the electrode node body and the inner surface (60) of the receiver to receive the air flow, and a plurality of point source electrodes (36) mounted to the electrode node body (12) and projecting into the reaction zone (45). The electrode node body (12) and the receiver (14) are electrically isolated from each other, the receiver (14) is earthed, and a voltage source is electrically connected to the electrode node body (12). The apparatus and method may be used for treating an air stream containing pollutants generated from the burning of fossil fuels, waste and other materials, to reduce elemental and water oxides and to remove elemental matter from the airflow. , for the treatment of emissions from coal-fired power plants to improve their efficiency through carbon recovery from plant emissions and reuse of carbon recovered as fuel, to reduce landfill requirements by burning waste in incinerators and treating incinerator emissions to recover elemental material, which is then landed in a space much smaller than the original unburnt waste, and to produce valuable elemental material such as tamping material.
