8. (10 points) A coal-fired power plant uses an SO, control system that is 70% efficient (that is, 2 70% of SO, initially produced is removed from the exhaust gas before release). If all of the sulfur in the coal oxidizes to SO, and the allowable emissions are ≤ 0.6 lb SO, per million BTU of heat, what is the maximum allowable sulfur content in the coal? Assume the coal produces 15,000 BTU/lb coal burned.
