Abstract: In order to obtain chemically pure mercury for use in meters and other apparatus, the best method used is the distillation of mercury. The distillation method, however, is usually slow and requires glass stills and equipment whicK are susceptible to breakage and therefore not practical in the meter shop and for use in connection with orifice meters. For this reason the present discussion will be confined to the use of the filtration and acid cleaning method for the reconditioning of mercury. The apparatus illustrated in Fig. 40 is for cleaning large quantities of mercury for technical uses. By this means a large amount of mercury can be purilied very readily. The instrument combines pressure filtration with electro chemical activities to effect purification.
