mercury recycling

Mercury recycling involves safely collecting, processing, and converting used or obsolete mercury-containing products, such as thermometers, batteries, and industrial equipment, to prevent environmental contamination. The process typically includes capturing mercury in controlled environments, removing impurities, and converting it into forms suitable for reuse or safe disposal. Recycling mercury reduces the risk of exposure to humans and wildlife, minimizes environmental pollution, and supports the sustainable reuse of this metal. Proper handling and adherence to safety standards are essential to manage mercury's toxic properties effectively during the recycling process.
