It is readily soluble in cold water, sparingly soluble in hot water, and soluble in alcohol, acetic acid, and sulfuric acid. . Production facilities must be installed by the end of 2008 and the tax credits, which would begin in 2009, will last for ten years.

 the Company's skills and success with developing new cost-effective environmental technologies for the coal-fired power industry. It is the ideal complement to our mercury control technology because all of the regulatory market drivers are already in place and the high prices of oil and gas ensure that coal will continue to be the dominant fuel for electric power in the U.S. for a long time into the future. Additionally, we are thrilled for Dr. French to join ADA-ES to lead the effort.
