What are the key pollutants targeted by the MACT standards?
The MACT standards target several key pollutants, including: 1. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) – Catalytic reduction techniques, such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), are employed to convert NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. 2. Sulfur Oxides (SOx) – Catalytic processes in combination with other technologies help in the reduction of SOx emissions. 3. Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Catalysis aids in the oxidation of CO to carbon dioxide (CO₂), which is less harmful. 4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – Catalytic incineration and oxidation processes are used to break down VOCs into less harmful compounds.
