Q1
A coal-fired power plant must comply with updated Clean Air Act regulations that set stricter limits on sulfur dioxide ($\text{SO}_2$) emissions to reduce acid deposition. The plant burns high-sulfur coal and wants to install an end-of-pipe technology that removes $\text{SO}_2$ from the flue gas before it exits the smokestack. Which technology is most appropriate, and what pollutant does it primarily target?
