| Abstract |
The article summarizes the treatment capabilities of U.S. plants recovering mercury from a variety of secondaries. There are six non-captive U.S. operations that accept various types of mercury-containing secondaries and wastes for mercury recovery, not including those firms specializing in processing spent lamps. Two of these operations, Adrow Chemical and D.F. Goldsmith Metal and Chemical, specialize in distillation of > or = 99% flowable mercury; non-radioactive mercury assaying > or = 99% Hg is not a listed waste. One operation, Quicksilver Recycling, operates a physical separation circuit followed by distillation; the company's feedstock is primarily electronic scrap. Two firms, Bethlehem Apparatus and Mercury Refining, accept a wide variety of mercury secondaries and wastes for retorting and/or distillation. The only domestic recycler of radioactive mercury materials is NSSI/Recovery Services. |
