Abstract: A method of removing mercury from a mercury-containing flue gas, especially flue gas from a refuse incinerator, is provided. The mercury-containing flue gas may also contain dust, further heavy metals, and further gaseous noxious gas components. The mercury, using an alkali sulfide solution, especially sodium sulfide solution, and in particular sodium tetrasulfide solution, is converted to mercury sulfide and the mercury sulfide is precipitated out via a dust separator. The alkali sulfide solution is introduced into the flue gas accompanied by the simultaneous addition of heat.

Abstract: An underfloor wheelset turning machine is described for reprofiling the wheel tire contours (34) of railway wheelsets (6). The machine comprises two turning supports (27, 28) and four driven friction rollers (9, 10,11,12), of which each pair of rollers is adapted to be pressed with in each case a peripheral face (57,58, 60,61) onto a wheel tire. The friction rollers (9,10,11,12) are pivotal individually each about a pivot axis (50,51,52,53) disposed parallel to the wheelset axle (41). The peripheral faces (60, 61) of two friction rollers (11,12) are disposed further from the wheelset center (64) compared with the peripheral faces (57, 58) of the other two friction rollers (9, 10).
