CA 2150529

A method and apparatus for the continuous separation of mercury from flowing gases, in particular from exhaust gases from thermal processes, e.g. melting of mercury containing glas shards from fluorescent lamps. At least one halogen, in particular iodine and/or bromine, is added to the gases when they flow into a reaction vessel. The halogen reacts with the mercury to form mercury halide, which is separated in the solid state from the gases prior to their outflow from the reaction vessel, for example by deposition on a cooled metal surface or by filtration. Excess halogen is separated by means of adsorption. A regulating device is optionally provided which readjusts the feed rate of the halogen in such a way that a predetermined small mercury concentration is set in the outflowing gases, e.g. less than 0.2 mg per m3 of gas.
