Answer 2

Unfortunately, neutralising acid rain is a lot more complex than neutralising a bench-top beaker. You would have to somehow get a large amount of basic material into the acidic clouds, such as by spraying a dilute hydroxide solution from a large aircraft. The problems with this are that you are also adding a large amount of metal or other harmful material to the clouds and rainwater and this would just make things worse; out of the frying pan and into the fire, so to speak. It is far easier and cheaper to simply prevent the formation of acid rain by scrubbing any output into the air and ensuring it doesn't contain large amounts of chemicals known to cause acid rain.

Answer 3

Acid rain results from acidic gases dissolving in the rain. Most of the acidic gases are the result of burning fossil fuels containing sulfur - primarily coal, but some fuel oils and diesel have some naturally occurring sulfiur in them. There are a few ways of combating the formation of these acidic gases.

1) use only fuels that are low sulfur - for example coals in the eastern US tend to be higher sulfur than coals in the western US (unfortunately for this approach Bill Clinton put a lot of that coal off limits to mining via an executive order)

2) treat the fuels to remove sulfur before burning - tough to remove all of it, but there are ways to remove a lot of it

3) absorb the sulfur during processing - there is a process (called integrated gassification combined cycle) where the coal is first gassified and then the gas is passed through an absorption bed to absorb most of the sulfur in the resultant gas before the gas is passed to the combustion chamber

4) scrub the exhaust gas before releasing to the atmosphere - usually done by spraying limestone solutions through the gas before it goes up the stack

Once the gases are out of the stacks, the only way to overcome it is to use acid resistant building materials and plants that don't mind acidic soil.
