What is sorbent technology?
Sorbent technology is becoming increasingly popular as a method to remove trace heavy metals from flue gases and aqueous systems. Some of the commonly used sorbents are- activated carbon, lime, etc. In flue gas treatment, sorbents are introduced in the air stream where they adsorb (chemically/physically) heavy metals and form metal-sorbent complexes which are not/less toxic. The particle sizes of these complexes are in the super micron range hence they can be easily captured by particulate control devices like baghouses and ESPs and disposed.
