1. A process for the in-situ production of an effluent sorbent-oxide aerosol during the combustion of a hydrocarbon containing fuel whereby effluents are removed from the resultant gaseous hydrocarbon combustion stream comprising:
- (1) forming an aqueous solution comprising an effluent sorbent compound selected from the group consisting of CaCl2, Ca(NO3)2, Ca(CH3 COO)2, Ca(C2 H5 COOH)2, Ca(CHOO)2, Ca(OH)2, CaO and mixtures thereof and a promoter selected from the group consisting of salts of Fe, Cu, Mn, B, Al, Na, K, P, V, Zn, Ni and mixtures thereof dissolved in water;
(2) admixing the aqueous solution of the effluent sorbent compound and promoter with a hydrocarbon containing fuel so as to form a combustible fuel mixture;
(3) atomizing said combustible fuel mixture and feeding said atomized fuel to a combustion zone;
(4) combusting said atomized fuel mixture in said combustion zone under controlled temperature conditions T1 wherein T1 is between about 1525°
K to about 2450°
K in the presence of an oxygen containing oxidant so as to obtain a sorbent-oxide aerosol with promoter comprising ultra-fine calcium sorbent-oxide particles having a mean diameter of less than 1.5 um in said gaseous combustion stream; and
(5) cooling said gaseous combustion stream to a temperature T2 wherein T2 is between about 700°
K to about 1500°
K so that said calcium sorbent-oxide particles absorb said effluents from said gaseous combustion stream.
