mercury vapour

I am using two 80W mercury vapour lights, from when my tank was planted.

This cheap and simple piece of technology could transform the mercury vapour problem.

This woman works at a Garrimpo and has also been exposed to mercury vapour.

It may be possible to encourage it to stay in one area by fitting a spotlight of the mercury vapour variety.

Mercury vapour form gold burning below, wafted into the flat above, and this is what happened to it's occupant.

Now it was mercury vapour country.

Lighting is by two Floraset mercury vapour lamps which were originally set on a timer to give 11 hours of light.

When heated, mercury vapour is created inside the lamp, and deposited when it cools.

The radiation, which comes From the arc in the mercury vapour, is mainly ultraviolet with a wavelength of 253-7 nanometres.

The space is a hollow glass tank containing a hot metallic vapour (for example mercury vapour).

In 1985 this changed; although the fittings were retained, they were converted from gas to mercury vapour usage.

Bulk growth is from a mercury and tellurium melt in the presence of a high mercury vapour pressure.

A mercury vapour turbine is a form of heat engine that uses mercury to drive the thermal cycle.

A mercury vapour turbine has been used in conjunction with a steam turbine for generating electricity.

The only option may be a single mercury vapour or metal halide spotlight, with no option for extra support lighting.

Its static inverters use mercury vapour rectifiers.

Aside from the method of coupling energy into the mercury vapour, these lamps are very similar to conventional fluorescent lamps.

Large mercury vapour tube lights (Cooper-Hewitts) were also used in racks placed in the same way.

Metallurgical developments have allowed steam-only plants to increase in efficiency over time, making the mercury vapour turbine obsolete.

Fluorescent lamps produce UV radiation by ionising low-pressure mercury vapour.

The gold is produced by boiling away the mercury from the amalgam, a hazardous process due to toxicity of mercury vapour.

The bladders containing the mercury soon ruptured and the crew suffered from mercury vapour poisoning.

The mercury vapour was associated with mercury which had polluted the soil on the Orica site, due to leaking pipes.

One of these lamps is a neon tube and the other a tube containing mercury vapour and helium.

The Electrical Year Book, 1937, contained the following description of a mercury vapour turbine operating in commercial use:
