Emissions control system with CZTS sorbents, CZTS-based alloy sorbents, and/or carbon-based sorbents and method of use

An emissions control system including a fluidized bed apparatus for removing contaminants from emissions, comprising:

• a housing shaped as a reverse venturi, said housing including an entry portion for receiving the emissions at a pre-determined entry flow rate, an exit portion for expelling the emissions at a pre-determined exit flow rate, and an enlarged portion disposed between said entry portion and said exit portion of said housing for trapping the contaminants in the emissions;
• said entry portion, said exit portion, and said enlarged portion of said housing being arranged in fluid communication with each other;
• a mass of reactive material disposed within said enlarged portion of said housing;
• said mass of reactive material having a reactive outer surface disposed in contact with the emissions;
• said mass of reactive material including at least one sorbent;
• and
• at least one sorbent recycling subsystem disposed in fluid communication with said housing that receives sorbent from said housing via a sorbent discharge port and returns clean sorbent to said housing via a sorbent return port, said at least one sorbent recycling subsystem including a chemical reagent for separating contaminants from said at least one sorbent.
