Disposal of mercury
The problem of mercury containing waste is typical not only for the territory of the Russian Federation, but also for the whole world. Currently mercury is used in many fields of science and technology: in the manufacture of gauges, light sources, vacuum pumps; it is widely used in medicine, electronics, metallurgy, chemicals and other areas.
Mercury is a material resistant to water and air actions, does not react to acids and alkalis. In nature, it is in the native form, and forms a number of minerals.
However, despite a number of advantages and a broad range of its use, mercury has significant drawback – this material is highly toxic.
Under no circumstances mercury-containing devices should be disposed of with usual household waste, sewed or buried in the ground. Such neglect can lead to very sad consequences: contamination of soil, water poisoning, intoxication of humans and animals with harmful substances.
Due to the high hazard classification, disposal of mercury-containing wastes should be carried out by a specialised organisation, having the appropriate equipment and the necessary experience.
Utilizatsiya Otkhodov will provide all the necessary services, related to the disposal of various wastes of different hazard class. The legitimacy of our work is confirmed by relevant certificates and licenses issued by the regulatory authorities. We have skilled employees, the necessary equipment and technology.
Collection, storage, transportation and disposal of mercury-containing waste are carried out as follows:
- on completion of operation of mercury-containing equipment is collected and stored in special containers with tight-fitting lid;
- transportation to the place of disposal is provided with the assistance of special equipment;
- disposal of mercury is carried put by the most optimal and safe for the environment and human methods. Neutralisation of devices containing mercury is possible with the help of various chemical solutions.
In its work, Utilizatsiya Otkhodov uses an individual approach to each client, which makes it possible to optimise the activity of the enterprise. After completion of works we provide appropriate documentation reflecting each step of action, so that you will not have problems with reporting forms.
