An efficient mechanism to control correlated externalities: redistributive transfers and the coexistence of regional and global pollution permit markets

“…[3][4][5]8,12,15]). 1 Second, the mechanisms are designed to control the emissions of a single pollutant, e.g., carbon-equivalent gases in the case of global warming and sulfur dioxide in the case of acid rain.…”

Flue gas conditioning for reducing suspended particulate matter from thermal power stations

“…It can be noted from the review of the existing literature that among pollution control devices, ESPs are popularly employed by thermal power stations to reduce SPM [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]55,57,61,[63][64][65][66][68][69][70][71]. This is mainly due to their greater efficiency in removing particles (o0.01 mm in size), their effectiveness in a wide range of operating temperatures, and their suitability for corrosive environmental conditions.…”

“…3. As such, the process of electrostatic precipitation involves (i) charging of particles flowing between electrodes, (ii) migration and collection of the particles on oppositely charged plates, (iii) dislodging the particles off the plates and into hoppers, and (iv) removal of the material from the hoppers [13][14][15]17,19,54,57,63].…”

A Comparison of Emission Taxes and Permit Markets for Controlling Correlated Externalities

“…2 For example, jet scrubbers used to remove particulate matter from a gas stream with a dispersed liquid -e.g. in the steel, chemical, and foundry industriesalso remove gaseous pollutants (Brauer and Varma 1981;Theodore and Buonicore 1982). Absorption technologies, which create residual molecular forces at the surface of solids to attract molecules of gases and vapors, also provide a good example since they lead to simultaneous removal of particulate matter and mixed gaseous pollutants such as SO 2 , NO x , hydrogen fluoride, and hydrogen chloride (Ibid).…”
