The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has discovered a simple process that greatly reduces pollutants emitted from coal plants and other emerging coal, biomass, and municipal solid waste energy conversion processes. The process is simple, very economical, effi cient, and easy to retrofit on existing plants. The process effectively reduces NOx to nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water, and further provides a sorbent for elemental mercury, mercuric chloride, and many acid gas and halide compounds.
