The mercury cell process is a formerly widely-used production technique for the production of chlorine and caustic soda. The loss of mercury during the process (to air, soil and water) led to serious health and environmental problems. Therefore, regulations have pushed the chlorine industry to phase out the mercury cell process.
econ industries deliver technology for the conversion of the mercury from cells for safe final disposal and also provides the solution of the treatment of Mercury waste and contaminated Soil
Technology required: VacuDry® & MMCU
Application: Elemental mercury, Graphite balls (from decomposer), activated carbon, caustic sludge, sediments, waste water treatment sludge, contaminated soil and building rubble.
