According to my reading of this: http://www.unep.org/chemicalsandwaste/Portals/9/Mercury/Documents/INC2/INC2_NRDC_Mercury%20Control%20Scenarios.pdf some mercury is removed from power station emissions by controls intended to remove particulates, oxides of sulphur and oxides of nitrogen, but the results are highly variable, with the causes of variability not really explained.
Adding calcium bromide changes the mercury from elemental mercury to oxides of mercury, which makes it easier to remove, and the existing removal methods more effective than they would otherwise be.

The boiling point of the dihydrate is given as 810 C, higher than the melting point of the anhydrous salt. Is that correct? I would expect the dihydrate to lose its water well before the latter termperature. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 22:47, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
The text says that it forms a hexahydrate, but the chembox says dihydrate. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 15:47, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
