Abstract:
The formation of leachable mercury upon disposal or during TCLP testing of mercury vapor discharge lamps is substantially prevented by incorporation of an organic or inorganic metal completing agent in the lamp structure or in the test solution.
Abstract:
The formation of leachable mercury upon disposal in a landfill or during TCLP testing of mercury vapor discharge lamps is substantially prevented by incorporation of an amount of dehydroascorbic acid or a degradation product of dehydroascorbic acid which is effective to substantially prevent formation of ferric and cuprous compounds responsible for forming leachable mercury compounds.
Abstract:
The formation of leachable mercury upon disposal or during TCLP testing of mercury vapor discharge lamps is substantially prevented by incorporation in the lamp structure or in the test solution of an oxygen scavenger.
