Abstract
Description
FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for treating exhaust gas and more particularly to a system and method for removing nitrous oxides, particulates and other pollutants from exhaust gas formed from the combustion of natural gas.BACKGROUND
[0002] Existing fossil fuel power plants allow exhaust to be released into the atmosphere. In these emissions, oxides of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and water vapor are all prime contributors to the greenhouse effect and could cause anthropogenic climate change. This technology would provide a useful means of capturing and diverting greenhouse effect contributors into a controllable liquid. While this is not a permanent sequestration, control of the resource is a fundamental first step in that process.
[0003] Additionally, fine carbon particulate is released during fossil fuel power production (esp. coal plants) and is a significant contributor to lung-related health problems and also causes negative environment...
