Funding Opportunity Announcement: http://e-center.doe.gov/iips/faopor.nsf/1be0f2271893ba198525644b006bc0be/cb0e449 6d1db52fc85256ff100704103?OpenDocument TECHNICAL TOPIC 1 - Advanced Environmental Control Technologies for Coal The objective of this topic is to solicit Research and Development (R D) proposals having the potential to mitigate the environmental disadvantages of coal utilization through improvements in various aspects of the fuel cycle, from coal extraction and preparation through combustion-related waste utilization or disposal. There is a need to significantly reduce air emissions, the volume of solid wastes, and /or water usage by improving the performance of existing power plant control systems, such as coal cleaning, flue gas desulfurization (FGD), low nitrogen oxides (NOx ) burners, selective catalytic reduction, or by developing new and innovative concepts. Coal is a solid fuel that contains components that can lead to the formation of various gaseous and solid pollutants as well as deleterious solid wastes. The atmospheric pollutants include NOx, SO2, CO2 (a greenhouse gas), particulate materials as well as hazardous trace elements such as mercury. High volumes of solid wastes result from the disposal of coal ash and FGD sludge. Water pollution can result from contamination during solid waste sluicing operations and thermal pollution from plant cooling requirements. Excess cooling water usage is also an issue.
