ABSTRACT:
Mercury is mixed with an inorganic powder resulting in a permanent bonding of the mercury to the powder in a solid form. Thereafter the amalgam may be easily, safely, and legally deposited in a landfill. Suggested powders include copper, zinc, nickel, and sulphur in a ratio of powder to mercury of substantially 3:1. The mixture is followed by compound agitation.
