| Abstract |
Results are reported of tests to develop an effective method of eliminating traces of metallic mercury in the clothing of electrolysis workers, using fabrics contaminated with 203Hg. The best method was washing in 0.15-0.3% surfactant for 15min. at 25°C; 0.5% hydrochloric acid with 0.2% sodium hypochlorite for 15min at 15-18°C; 0.15-0.3% surfactant with 0.3% anhydrous sodium carbonate and 0.2% sodium silicate for 15min at 100°C. The fabric is rinsed in water 2-3 times after each treatment. |
