METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MITIGATING MERCURY EMISSIONS IN EXHAUST GASES

Abstract The present invention relates to a method for continuously converting mercury in an exhaust gas into mercury dichloride in a proportion effective for removal of the mercury from the exhaust gas comprising the steps of: contacting a substantial portion of the exhaust gas with one or more steel two dimensional spoiler surfaces at a temperature between about 150°C and 300 °C wherein mercury compounds deposit on the steel surface and sublime back into the exhaust gas as volatile mercury dichloride; and scrubbing the exhaust gas to remove the mercury dichloride.
