Abstract: A method for establishing and using a pollutant emission scavenging forecasting (PESF) model to calculate a purgeable pollutant emission to dynamically control an emitted pollutant at any target concentration. The dynamic control considers the initial pollutant concentration and pollutant scavenging ability of atmosphere. The method further takes into account the constraint conditions specified by a user, and employs a dynamic emission correction system to quickly calculate an optimal pollutant emission scheme. If the emission is lower than minimum acceptable value for a current time instance (a moment), the method corrects the emission intensity before (prior to) this moment by changing the initial concentration at this time. This initial concentration is the final pollutant concentration of a prior moment. Since the method makes full use of the atmospheric pollutants scavenging ability, the dynamic emission control scheme can provide the most effective and lowest economic losses solution.
