The disclosure provides methods and systems for sequestering and / or reducing sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and / or carbon dioxide present in industrial effluent fluid streams. A solid particulate material comprising a slag component, a binder component (distinct from the slag component), and optionally water is formed and then contacted with the effluent fluid stream to reduce at least one of the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and / or carbon dioxide. The contacting of the effluent stream may occur in a packed bed reactor with the solid dry particulate material. Methods of reducing pollutants from exhaust generated by combustion sources, lime and / or cement kilns, iron and / or steel furnaces, and the like are provided.

A polyacrylic polymer is provided that is formed by moisture cure of multiple acrylic prepolymer segments. The prepolymer segments each have an average molecular weight of between 5000 and 400.000 grams per mole. Each of the prepolymers is a homopolymer or copolymer of a monomer from among methyl methacrylate, C1-C16alkyl acrylate, and C1-C16 alkyl methyl methacrylate as the predominant manomeric group. The prepolymers are interconnected through moisture cure induced urea, urethane, or combinations thereof. The polymer is readily cured upon exposure to atmospheric moisture absent inclusion or evolution of a volatile organic compound. The polymer is likewise formed HAP free. Through control of prepolymer properties a variety of thermoset polymer properties are obtained. A prepolymer is formed including a minority amount of functionalized acrylic monomer that is isocyanate or converted to isocyanate through subsequent reaction. Functionalized acrylic monomers operative herein include a hydroxyl, a primary amine, a secondary amine, a sulfonic acid, or an epoxy. Upon application from storage in an anhydrous state, the prepolymer cures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture.
