Geometry.Net - Science Books: Acid Rain

A comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art research, development, and commercialization potential of technology in acid rain control.

These papers by noted researchers, consultants, and program directors in the acid rain and energy field were delivered at a conference sponsored by the Illinois General Assembly and the Coal Extraction and Utilization Research Center at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale.

The book begins with a good technological overview of the problem and possible solutions. Major points of interest are the roles of advanced coal cleaning technologies, flue-gas desulfurization (FGD), limestone injection multiphase burners (LIMB), fluidized-bed combustors (FBC), integrated combined-cycle systems, coal gasification, coal switching or compliance coal, and the use of nuclear energy in the control of acid deposition.

Diane Suitt Gilleland and James H. Swisher also edited the previous conference proceedings, Acid Rain Control: The Costs of Compliance (Southern Illinois University Press).
