Emissions control system including capability to clean and/or rejuvenate CZTS sorbents, CZTS-alloy sorbents, and/or CZTS-mixture 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 contaminated sorbent from said housing via at least one sorbent discharge port and returns clean sorbent to said housing via at least one sorbent return port.
