Claim:
1. A method for more efficiently removing pollutant gases from flue gases of a solid-fueled steam generator; the method comprising: storing in a silo a carbonaceous sorbent in a powdered form; extracting a superheated steam from a superheated steam source; reducing a temperature, pressure and moisture content of the superheated steam to provide a processed steam of a desired pressure, temperature and moisture content; providing a sorbent mill receiving the carbonaceous sorbent and the processed steam, wherein the sorbent mill is operable to de-agglomerate and comminute the carbonaceous sorbent using the processed steam to provide a processed sorbent; injecting the processed sorbent into the flue gases at a desired location in the solid-fueled steam generator thereby adsorbing the pollutants therefrom; and collecting and thereby removing the carbonaceous sorbent from the flue gas fluidly downstream from the desired location.
