<p>Described are a process and device for the waste-disposal of articles containing metals or metal vapours, in particular mercury-vapour lamps. The articles are fed into a container containing a liquid which converts the metal or metal vapour into harmless compounds, in particular sulphides. In the container, the articles are pushed into the liquid and then destroyed under the liquid, releasing the metal or metal vapour, the liquid acting as protective layer and ensuring that the metal or metal vapour is trapped immediately it is released. The container is emptied at intervals and the contents transferred to a central processing plant.</p> |
