ABSTRACT:
Mercury filter for collecting low concentration mercury vapor in gas. Filter has an absorber having a collecting surface of a material that amalgamates readily with mercury, the surface having a reactive tarnish produced by exposure of the plates to available iodine. The absorber can have spaced collecting members with the gas passing about the collecting members. Optionally at least one of the collecting members is at a higher electrical potential difference than the remaining member, which potential difference is insufficient for the filter to act as an electrostatic precipitator so as to reduce attraction of dust. An optional electrically insulating porous matrix can extend between the collecting members and should have sufficient porosity to permit air to flow relatively freely between the collecting members. Preferably the collecting surface is copper or silver plated copper, and the tarnish is the appropriate metallic iodine which can be produced by exposure of the gas to iodide monochloride prior to passing to the collecting surface.
