THE CLEAN AIR ACT (CAA) AMENDMENTS OF 1990 DEFINED 189 INDIVIDUAL HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS THAT MUST BE MONITORED AND CONTROLLED. AT PRESENT, NO AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS FOR THE RELIABLE, REAL TIME ANALYSIS OF THE SEVERAL METALLIC SPECIES IDENTIFIED AS AIR TOXIC IN THIS REGULATION. THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REAL TIME TRACE ANALYSIS CAPABILITY COMPROMISES BOTH THE MONITORING AND THE CONTROL OF THIS CL ...

A COMBUSTION-DRIVEN MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC (MHD) ELECTRIC POWER GENERATOR COMBINED WITH A STEAM POWERPLANT OFFERS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY OVER THAT OF THE CONVENTIONAL STEAM POWERPLANT. THE MHD PROCESS, HOWEVER, PRODUCES AN AEROSOL THAT IS DIFFICULT TO COLLECT BECAUSE OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF VERY SMALL PARTICLES (LESS THAN 1 MICROMETER). THIS RESULTS IN THE NEED FOR LARGE AND EXPENSIVE ...
