Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015144187A1] The present invention concerns an improved method for the effective removal of mercury from flue gases resulting from combustion processes, such as industrial coal combustion for power generation in power plants or waste incineration in waste incinerators or in waste-to-energy plants, but also from other thermal processes, such as burning of limestone to form lime or burning of cement to form clinker, treatment of ores, recycled metals and the like.
