A system for treating a contaminated gas stream is provided that includes a comminution device 204 operable to effect size reduction of a plurality of sorbent particles and form a plurality of comminuted particles, a plurality of nozzles 224 distributed through the gas stream and operable to introduce the plurality of comminuted particles into the gas stream, and a particle removal device 104 operable to remove at least most of the introduced comminuted particles and form a treated gas stream. The comminution device is in direct fluid communication with the nozzles.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a contaminated gas stream, the gas stream comprising one or more contaminants, comprising: transporting a particulate unmilled sorbent material and coal from a remote location to a utility plant site; combusting coal to produce a contaminated gas stream;
What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a contaminated gas stream, the gas stream comprising one or more contaminants, comprising: transporting a particulate unmilled sorbent material and coal from a remote location to a utility plant site; combusting coal to produce a contaminated gas stream; milling the unmilled particulate sorbent material to produce a plurality of milled sorbent particles, the unmilled particulate sorbent material having a first size distribution and the milled sorbent particles having a second size distribution, wherein the second size distribution is smaller than the first size distribution, wherein the second size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 0.5 to about 25 microns, and wherein the comminuting step occurs on-site with the plant in which the coal is combusted; and thereafter introducing the comminuted sorbent particles into the gas stream to remove the one or more contaminants. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the milled sorbent particles are introduced directly into the gas stream after the milling step. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the milling step is performed by a jet mill. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the milled sorbent particles are flee of intermediate storage after the milling step. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more contaminants comprise an air toxic and wherein the time between the completion of the milling step to the introducing step is no more than about 30 seconds. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein sorbent material is activated carbon and wherein the air toxic is at least one of nickel, arsenic, chromium, mercury, selenium, lead, a halogen, and a halide. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 10 microns to about 1 millimeter. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein, in the milling step, the size reduction factor ranges from about 5 to about 200. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the milling step comprises: entraining the particulate unmilled sorbent in a high velocity gas stream; and impacting the particulate unmilled sorbent at the velocity of the gas stream against at least one of another particle and a stationary comminution surface to effect size reduction. 10. A method for treating a contaminated gas stream, the gas stream comprising one or more contaminants, comprising: transporting a particulate unmilled sorbent material from a remote location to a utility plant site; combusting coal to produce a contaminated gas stream; milling the unmilled particulate sorbent material to produce a plurality of milled sorbent particles, the unmilled particulate sorbent material having a first size distribution and the milled sorbent particles having a second size distribution, wherein the second size distribution is smaller than the first size distribution, wherein the second size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 0.5 to about 25 microns, and wherein the comminuting step occurs on-site with the plant in which the coal is combusted; and introducing the comminuted sorbent particles into the gas stream to remove the one or more contaminants. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the milled sorbent particles are introduced directly into the gas stream after the milling step. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the milling step is performed by a jet mill. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the milled sorbent particles are free of intermediate storage after the milling step. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the one or more contaminants comprise an air toxic and wherein the time between the completion of the milling step to the introducing step is no more than about 30 seconds. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein sorbent material is activated carbon and wherein the air toxic is at least one of nickel, arsenic, chromium, mercury, selenium, lead, a halogen, and a halide. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein the first size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 10 microns to about 1 millimeter. 17. The method of claim 10, wherein, in the milling step, the size reduction factor ranges from about 5 to about 200. 18. The method of claim 10, wherein the milling step comprises: entraining the particulate unmilled sorbent in a high velocity gas stream; and impacting the particulate unmilled sorbent at the velocity of the gas stream against at least one of another particle and a stationary comminution surface to effect size reduction. 19. A method for treating a contaminated gas stream, the gas stream comprising one or more contaminants, comprising: transporting a particulate unmilled sorbent material from a remote location to a utility plant site; providing a contaminated gas stream from combustion of coal; milling the unmilled particulate sorbent material to produce a plurality of milled sorbent particles, the unmilled particulate sorbent material having a first size distribution and the milled sorbent particles having a second size distribution, wherein the second size distribution is smaller than the first size distribution, wherein the second size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 0.5 to about 25 microns, and wherein the comminuting step occurs on-site with the plant in which the coal is combusted; and introducing the comminuted sorbent particles into the gas stream to remove the one or more contaminants. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the milled sorbent particles are introduced directly into the gas stream after the milling step. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein the milling step is performed by a jet mill. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein the milled sorbent particles are free of intermediate storage after the milling step. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein the one or more contaminants comprise an air toxic and wherein the time between the completion of the milling step to the introducing step is no more than about 30 seconds. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein sorbent material is activated carbon and wherein the air toxic is at least one of nickel, arsenic, chromium, mercury, selenium, lead, a halogen, and a halide. 25. The method of claim 19, wherein the first size distribution has a P90 size ranging from about 10 microns to about 1 millimeter. 26. The method of claim 19, wherein, in the milling step, the size reduction factor ranges from about 5 to about 200. 27. The method of claim 19, wherein the milling step comprises: entraining the particulate unmilled sorbent in a high velocity gas stream; and impacting the particulate unmilled sorbent at the velocity of the gas stream against at least one of another particle and a stationary comminution surface to effect size reduction.
