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

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.
