An apparatus for removing constituents from a fluid stream is provided.
The apparatus includes a duct, a collection device, a sorbent injector,
and an acoustic generator. The duct has a fluid passageway to receive a
fluid stream having constituents. The collection device filters the fluid
stream. The sorbent injector injects a sorbent in the fluid passageway of
the duct. The acoustic generator generates an acoustic field in the fluid
passageway of the duct to promote sorption of the constituents for
collection by the collection device. Additionally, a method is provided
for removing constituents from a fluid stream.
