ABSTRACT:
Process for removing sulfur oxides, mercury vapor, and fine particulate matters from industrial flue gases that contain such pollutants. Pollutants are removed by modules, which contain microporous adsorbent (i.e., sorbent) material held within a polymer matrix. The composite material that contains the microporous absorbent material held within a polymer matrix removes sulfur oxides by converting them into high concentration sulfuric acids. SULFURIC acid produced inside the composite material is automatically expelled onto the external surfaces of the composite material and is drained into an acid reservoir together with the fine particulate mailers which are washed from the external surfaces of the composite material by the constant dripping of the sulfuric acid along the external surfaces of the composite material.
