Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to safely and surely dispose a mercury battery, by evaporating mercury by heating the mercury battery and cooling evaporated mercury by a cooler to liquify the same. CONSTITUTION:A mercury-containing battery A is heated to 600-700 deg.C in an incinerator 1 to evaporate mercury and the evaporated gas is flowed into a duct 17. Exhaust gas is cooled by a cooler 18 and mercury is liquified to be dripped in a storage tank 20 while dust is flowed into a spray tower 25 along with other gas through a separator 19. The exhaust gas is contacted with a shower of an alkali solution in the tower 25 and exhausted to the open air while dust and a substance such as SOx are removed.

(4) Means for solving the problem In order to achieve this objective, the processing method of this invention includes:
A mercury-containing battery is heated in an incinerator to vaporize the mercury, and the exhaust gas containing vaporized mercury and dust is sent to a cooler to liquefy and store the mercury, and the exhaust gas from which mercury has been removed is sent to a dust collector. It is designed to be released into the atmosphere through the air.

(A 52-acting mercury-containing battery is usually one in which zinc and mercury oxide are placed in a sealed steel container with an electrolyte layer interposed between them. When this battery is heated and incinerated at 600 to 700°C, mercury is released. teeth,
Zinc has a boiling point of 3569°C, so it is vaporized and discharged together with the exhaust gas, and since zinc has a melting point of 419°C and a boiling point of 970°C, it remains in a molten state as a residue along with other metals such as iron. In addition, combustion produces dust, which is also emitted along with the exhaust gas.

In the past, vaporized mercury and dust were mixed into the exhaust gas, and by cooling it, only the mercury, which has a boiling point lower than that and an even lower melting point (-38.7℃), liquefied and dripped into the storage tank. The exhaust gas from which mercury has been removed is removed by a dust collector and discharged into the atmosphere. This exhaust gas into the atmosphere is harmless because mercury and dust have been removed.
