Process for removing mercury from flue gases of high-temperature plants, in particular power stations and waste incineration plants in which a bromine compound is fed to the multistage furnace and/or the flue gas in a plant section downstream of the furnace, the temperature during contact of the bromine compound with the flue gas being at least 500&#xb0; C., preferably at least 800&#xb0; C. The combustion is carried out in the presence of a sulphur compound, in particular sulphur dioxide. Subsequently to the furnace, the flue gas is subjected to an optional multistage cleanup for removing mercury from the flue gas, which cleanup comprises a wet scrubber and/or a dry cleanup.

Method for the mutual chemical and compaction treatment of inorganic

The accumulated waste is pressed under high pressure to form blocks or boards having high strength, low elutability and low permeability, then packed in film individually or in stacks in a dust-tight and water-tight manner and deposited in this form on a dump like building bricks. The process can be used universally for all waste which is available as bulk material and has no coarse components, such as stones, metal pieces and the like.
