(57) An apparatus for reducing mercury content of cement kiln exhaust gas 11 comprising: a mixing and heating device 19 for mixing cement kiln dusts D2, D4 included in a cement kiln combustion exhaust gas G1 into a cement raw material R2 withdrawn from a cyclone 4C (or 4B) other than the highest stage cyclone 4D and the lowest stage cyclone 4A of a preheater 4 for preheating cement raw material R1 while heating the cement kiln dusts D2, D4 through sensible heat of the cement raw material R2; a mercury recovery device 21 for recovering mercury Hg vaporized from the cement kiln dusts D2, D4 by the mixing and heating; and a feeder for feeding mercury-removed dusts D5, D6 discharged from the mixing and heating device 19 to a cyclone 4B (or 4A) positioning at a lower stage from the cyclone 4C (or 4B) from which the cement raw material R2 is withdrawn.
