The aim is to recycle mercury from dental amalgam scrap using the vacuum distillation method.
A total of 150 g of dental amalgam scrap was taken in a round bottom flask and was subjected to vacuum distillation at 398°C. The vapor of mercury was collected in another round bottom flask.
The procedure is carried out for mercury recovery using vacuum distillation apparatus, and mercury vapor are collected in a round bottom flask, and the silver is recovered using sucrose as reducing agent. Using 150 g of dental amalgam scrap 50%-80% of silver are recovered, and silver has a purity of 70%-80%. However, the total time required in the reduction process ranged between 303 and 600 min.
Mercury could be recycled from dental amalgam scrap through vacuum distillation method at 398°C and its implication of dental amalgam scrap in an Indian perspective.
旨在采用真空蒸馏法从牙科汞合金废料中回收汞。
将总共150克牙科汞合金废料置于圆底烧瓶中,在398°C下进行真空蒸馏。汞蒸气收集于另一个圆底烧瓶中。
使用真空蒸馏装置进行汞回收操作,汞蒸气收集于圆底烧瓶中,并用蔗糖作为还原剂回收银。使用150克牙科汞合金废料可回收50%-80%的银,且银的纯度为70%-80%。然而,还原过程所需的总时间在303至600分钟之间。
在398°C下通过真空蒸馏法可从牙科汞合金废料中回收汞,以及从印度视角探讨牙科汞合金废料的意义。
