Abstract: A durable pollution control systems, articles, and methods for removing multiple flue gas pollutants. The pollution control system includes an article comprising a sorbent polymer composite (SRC), and a plurality of halogen reservoirs. In some, the halogen reservoirs are embedded within the SRC. In some, each of the halogen reservoirs has 5 wt % to 95 wt % of at least one permeation control material based on an average weight of each halogen reservoir and 5 wt % to 50% of at least one halogen source based on an average weight of each halogen reservoir.

Abstract: A durable pollution control systems, articles, and methods for removing multiple flue gas pollutants. The pollution control system can provide a source of halogen in the required amount for a prolonged period of time. The halogen source is combined with a sorbent polymer composite substrate, configured such that the halogen does not get leached away in solutions formed during the pollution gas treatment process.

Abstract: An improved method of testing the integrity of a porous filter is provided. The test method is an improvement over a gas-liquid diffusion test wherein the improvement comprises providing a conduit downstream of the filter and filling the conduit with a liquid, the conduit having a length to cross sectional area ratio selected to substantially resist diffusive flow of the gas through the liquid downstream of the filter material.
