Abstract

An on-line system has been applied to measure mercury (Hg) speciation from a pilot combustion simulator and from an industrial scale Municipal Solid Waste Incineration (MSWI) plant in Goteborg, southwest Sweden. Under simulated waste incineration conditions, 60–80% Hg was found in its oxidized form Hg(II). At the MSWI plant, equipped with a modern flue gas cleaning system, Hg at concentrations about 10–15 μg m−3 was emitted to the atmosphere, of which 15–20% was Hg(II).
