Dynamic measurement of mercury adsorption and oxidation on activated carbon in simulated cement kiln flue gas

► This is the first published research on dynamic mercury measurement and control related to cement production. ► A commercial converter developed for waste incinerator applications does not work properly in simulated cement kiln flue gas. ► We have developed and optimized a sodium sulfite-based converter for cement plant application. ► Laboratory tests show that the developed converter is appropriate for dynamic measurements.
