Abstract: Materials, compounds, systems, and methods of dosing fluorescent lamps to reduce run-up time by improving mercury release rates. A pellet comprises a core and a coating on at least a portion of the surface of the core, the coating being formed from a powder of one or more intermetallic compounds comprising mercury. A method comprises providing a core and forming a coating on at least a portion of the surface of the core with a material comprising one or more intermetallic compounds comprising mercury and a metal selected from the group consisting of silver, copper, tin, zinc, bismuth, gold, platinum, palladium, nickel, manganese, and titanium.

Abstract: A pellet having a microstructure including a bismuth phase, a zinc solid solution phase, and a Zn3Hg phase is disclosed. A method of making a pellet including bismuth, zinc, and mercury is also disclosed. Moreover, a fluorescent lamp with a fill material including bismuth, zinc, and mercury is disclosed. Further, a method of dosing a fluorescent lamp with mercury is disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to fluorescent lamps and methods of manufacture wherein the mercury is dosed into the lamp in a solid material containing mercury, bismuth, indium and another metal. In one embodiment, the metal is selected from the group consisting of zinc, tin, lead, silver, gold, copper, gallium, titanium, nickel, and manganese. Preferably, the atomic ratio of the indium to the bismuth is in the range of about 0.4:0.6 to 0.7:0.3. The atomic ratio of zinc to the combination indium and bismuth may preferably be in the range of about 0.01:0.99 to 0.20:0.80, and the atomic ratio of mercury to the combination of the indium, bismuth and zinc is preferably in the range of about 0.01:0.99 and 0.15:0.85.

Abstract: Mechanical plating provides a new technique of manufacturing of certain materials containing multiple elements, including amalgams, and novel pellets containing multiple materials. Some embodiments provide new and versatile materials for dosing mercury, metals or other inorganic compounds into lamps. Some embodiments include materials comprising layers of metals or compounds built up on a substrate. One embodiment is a layer of zinc amalgam applied to a glass sphere. Also disclosed is an improved method of manufacture for such particles that will speed production, increase yields, lower costs and reduce exposure to mercury in the workplace.

Abstract: A solid mercury-releasing material and a method of dispensing precise amounts of mercury into the light emitting chamber of a discharge lamp without introducing the other dispenser components into the chamber are disclosed. The solid material includes an amalgam of one or more metals and mercury in the form of particles of high purity, uniform size and uniform composition.

Abstract: A pelletized lamp fill material suitable for delivering a precise quantity of rhenium and a halogen into the light emitting chamber of a tungsten halogen lamp. The pellet is formed by pressure aggregating a mixture of a metal powder and a rhenium-halogen compound. In a pellet suitable for delivering bromine into the lamp, the metal powder may be mixed with rhenium tribromide powder to form the pellet. The release of the bromine and rhenium is desirably controlled over time as a function of temperature.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp containing zinc amalgam and a method of precisely controlling the amount of mercury introduced into a temperature controlled fluorescent lamp. Precise quantities of mercury may be introduced into a fluorescent lamp in the form of solid zinc amalgam pellets that are in a metastable, non-equilibrium state.
