Abstract
A system and method for removing contaminants from emissions including the use of a matrix for selecting application specific copper, zinc, tin, sulfide (CZTS) sorbent compounds. The CZTS sorbent compound is a reactive material that removes contaminates from gaseous and/or non-gaseous emissions. The CZTS sorbent compound becomes a broad-spectrum reactive material with enhanced properties when alloyed specifically with precise elements targeting specified contaminates present in application specific emissions. The matrix disclosed herein defines which enhancement element is best suited for application specific compounding. The method may include testing the contaminated emissions and then routing the emissions through one or more specific filters based on pairing contaminates with filters containing corresponding CZTS sorbent compounds.
