The Determination of Mercury in Waste Oil Using the Hydra-C Mercury Analyser

12 Feb, 2010

It is important to determine the concentration of mercury in waste oil prior to disposal. In the US, any waste oil containing more than 0.2 mg/L mercury is characterised as hazardous waste and

cannot be burned for energy recovery.

Teledyne Leeman Lab’s (USA) Hydra-C Direct Mercury Analyser provides fast, simple and convenient analyses for these materials without sample pretreatment or production of hazardous chemical waste. The entire analysis takes only 5 - 10 minutes and virtually eliminates the need for the often cumbersome chemical digestion step required by other approaches.
