Abstract
A system for effecting the pretreatment therewith of a sorbent comprising a conveying line (105), such as a pipe, and a plurality of solution nozzles operative for purposes of introducing a solution to treat the sorbent. More particularly, the conveying line (105) includes an inlet (107), an outlet (109), and an inner surface (105a) that is operative to define a passageway (190) through which sorbent particles are capable of being transported between the inlet (107) of the conveying line (105) and the outlet (109) of the conveying line (105). Each of the plurality of solution nozzles includes a respective one of a plurality of orifices (120) that are designed to be disposed circumferentially about the inner surface (105a) of the conveying line (105) and that are designed to be operative to effect therewith the injection of an aqueous solution of a liquid sorbent conditioner into the passageway (190) in order to thereby effect therewith the pretreatment of sorbent particles that are being transported through the passageway (190) in the conveying line (105).
