Abstract

The present invention provides a system for removing mercury in exhaust gas, in which mercury is removed from exhaust gas of a boiler, characterized in that between a denitrification apparatus and a wet type desulfurization apparatus, an NH3 decomposition catalyst and a mercury oxidation catalyst are provided, and mercury having been oxidized into mercury chloride is removed by the wet type desulfurization apparatus. Also, it provides a method for removing mercury in exhaust gas, characterized in that the mercury removing method includes an NH3 decomposition process and a mercury oxidation process, which are provided between the denitrification process and a wet desulfurization process, and mercury having been oxidized into mercury chloride is removed in the wet desulfurization process.
