The main mechanisms of transformation of mercury compounds 
in coal combustion products in the region of high temperatures have 
been analyzed. A kinetic model of the process of gas-phase oxidation 
of metal mercury vapors is proposed. The features of the behavior 
of the investigated compounds in systems of cleaning combustion products 
from harmful impurities have been considered.
