Discussion of emerging technologies for air pollution control

; ;
A discussion of emerging technologies for air pollution control emphasizes: particulate control but also includes dry scrubbing processes under development, which remove sulfur dioxide from stack gas by spraying lime or limestone into the hot gas, followed by filtration or electrostatic precipitation to remove the solids, including the companies involved and the advantages over conventional wet scrubbing; the fully developed state of FGD by wet scrubbing, due to relatively low capital costs and ease of operation; and the use of combustion modification to control nitrogen oxides emissions in the US but of wet and dry scrubbing for the same purpose in Japan, which has the strictest nitrogen oxide emission standards in the world. Processes commercially available or under development for particulate control by scrubbing, filtration, or electrostatic precipitation; for FGD by dry scrubbing; and for flue gas denitrification are tabulated.
