Claim Text:
1. A pollution removal device for more efficiently removing pollutant gases from flue gases of a solid-fueled steam generator comprising: a silo to store carbonaceous sorbent in a powdered form; a steam tap line to extract superheated steam from a superheated steam source; a steam processing device fluidly coupled to the steam tap line to receive the superheated steam from the steam tap line and operable to reduce a temperature, pressure and moisture content of the superheated steam to provide a processed steam of a desired pressure, temperature and moisture content; a sorbent mill fluidly coupled to the steam processing device and the silo to receive the carbonaceous sorbent and the processed steam and operable to de-agglomerate and comminute the carbonaceous sorbent using the processed steam to provide a processed sorbent; a distributor fluidly coupled to the sorbent mill operable to receive the processed sorbent inject the processed sorbent into the flue gases at a desired location in the solid-fueled steam generator thereby adsorbing the pollutants therefrom; and a particulate collection device arranged fluidly downstream from the desired location, and operable to collect and thereby remove the carbonaceous sorbent from the flue gas.
