Over the years, I have collected a whole bunch of water based mercury waste. In this video, I will be recovering the mercury and disposing of the water.

Waste disposal and management is an often forgotten and obscured part. People love to see reactions and might think to do these things themselves, without thinking about the disposal process. This video is invaluable, since it shows it's not all fun and games.

I understand a lot of the basic chemistry, and the rudimentary molecular physics behind it, but my memory is so far gone that I can't retain the formulas or even the chemicals for more than a minute or two. The ideas, yes, but not any specifics. The organic chemistry just completely loses me after two or three reactions. Still immensely interesting though.

I usually just add a wad of bare copper wire to my waste mercury jug and get pure mercury metal in one step, But I have always wanted to see this method. Any chance you can convert it to the red mercury sulfide? I haven't figured out how to do it yet.
@Seff2

@NileRed
@NileRed 7 лет назад
It's funny that I honestly never thought of just adding a metal to reduce it. That is probably the better way, ha. I imagine is takes a long time though. I think to convert it you need high temp and pressure or something. In the end, the chemistry of the two kinds are pretty similar. Why do you want the red sulfide? As a dye or colorant?
@amosz5726
@amosz5726 7 лет назад
I'll be trying to do this pretty soon, actually. I'm after a full set of historical paint pigments and so I'm intentionally making mercuric sulfide for it. There are vague references to the black sulfide being heated to temperatures in excess of 300 degrees celsius to convert its crystal structure to that of vermillion, and even to sublimation occurring at those temperatures. This could be useful for separating the mercuric sulfide from your celite, NileRed. I'll let you all know of my findings when I get around to it.
@MuzikBike
@MuzikBike 7 лет назад
I think it would be pretty interesting to see a liquid metal being cemented out onto a piece of solid metal. Especially copper with its deep, cold-coloured ions. Would the Hg bead up and only fall when it gets big enough? Or would it appear absolutely everywhere in the form of microscopic drops like condensation?

Great video, as always. I have suggestion for future synthesis - the Crystal violet dye, also known as gentian violet. It can be used for staining biological samples (like Eosin), it has some antibacterial effects and it can be used as pH indicator. In strongly acidic solutions, the color of the dye changes from violet to green and to yellow. In basic solutions, it decomposes and becomes colorless.
@brewer13210

When filtering with DE (Diatomaceous Earth) you can continue to add small amounts of DE while you are filtering to keep the filter surface from being blinded. This keeps the filter process from slowing down.

Assuming this is a process used on a scale this size it makes one question what to do with an entire great lake. At least in western Lake Ontario they're dredging the PAH. The volume is astounding.

The quantitative precipitation of mercury sulfide works at a pH = 0 - 1 as well. No need to put in large quantities of NaHCO3. During the ion separation procedure in analytics you will bubble in H2S-gas into the acidic solution with a pH of about 0-1. HgS 's solubility product is VERY low!😉

user255 - not labeling the waste containers properly -using food containers as waste containers -who knows where this is stored? i assume it doesn't fullfill any standards set by the industry, though, seeing what he did here Mercury is ESPECIALLY difficult waste to work with. breaking several regulations doesn't help.

So every time you had to clean something out with water, did you effectively create more mercury waste?

I should never be a chemist. I'm not nearly organized enough to keep everything labeled. Probably end up accidentally drinking a bottle of mercury.

Could you tell me more about your glassware? What makes it cheaper than others? Some short research shows the 500ml beakers are roughly 11 usd. Yours are 6 in comparison, are there compromises in quality? Looking into getting some glassware but I wanna make sure about things.
@NileRed
@NileRed 7 лет назад
Where are you searching that it is 11 USD? I just priced mine similar to the price that I could get it from china, or locally. There should be no real difference. Some glassware is "thick-walled" which comes at a premium price.
@nanobytez6881
@nanobytez6881 7 лет назад
Just from Amazon, however I just did another search and found another on Amazon with a similar price point. So maybe the first one I found was thicker. It didn't mention anything about thickness though.

I like your Videos. They seem simple, to the point, and a step by step process of what you are doing. I wouldn't mind if your voice sounded a tad more interesting, however I am glad it also isn't over the top for something like this. It is also nice that you point out what you are doing correctly, incorrectly, and even point out your half-assed attempts. That type of honesty is what is needed when dealing with !!SCIENCE!! Thank you for the intriguing and informative videos.

Great to see such a responsible video. The only thing I would make sure in the future is never use water bottles for any chemical storage - but if you do make sure is it clearly labelled with hi viz labels so if someone else if coming along behind you they know exactly whats in the bottles. keep up the great videos.

That is a great idea for a series, actually! Lacking knowledge on how to deal with chemical waste is one of the main things that prevents me from performing more extensive experiments.. Also, I do assume lead is processed in a very similar way?
