  • Method and apparatus for generating mercury (II) sulfide from elemental mercury
    Patent number: 9120682
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating red mercury (II) sulfide from elemental mercury. Elemental mercury is combined with sulfur and heated until vaporized. At least a portion of the elemental mercury reacts with the vaporized sulfur to form the mercury (II) sulfide. Un-reacted elemental mercury is drawn off and condensed by a condenser.

  • APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MERCURY (II) SULFIDE FROM ELEMENTAL MERCURY
    Publication number: 20100150795
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for generating mercury (II) sulfide from elemental mercury. Elemental mercury is injected into a heated and sealed reaction vessel containing vaporized sulfur. The elemental mercury reacts with at least a portion of the vaporized sulfur to form the mercury (II) sulfide within the reaction vessel. The formed mercury (II) sulfide is then unloaded from the reaction vessel.

  • Mercury container
    Patent number: 4416382
    Abstract: A container for the transport and storage of metallic mercury (Hg). A plastic thimble having a small opening in the upper side wall is disposed in the neck of the container to prevent oxidation of the mercury in the container and to retain mercury that would otherwise leak out due to expansion.
