We often need to place some artificial light source to irradiate the bad odour gas into the equipment, so that it can be cracked.

In the photocatalytic exhaust gas treatment equipment, we often need to place some artificial light source to irradiate the bad odour gas into the equipment, so that it can be cracked. One of the most commonly used is uv lamp that is ultraviolet lamp, it is a kind of not use the lamp emit light, but the use of electronic waves (microwave or medium flow wave, etc.) spatial excitation of the lamp filled with substances, so that the molecular leap to produce plasma so as to emit light.

According to the national environmental protection department issued the ‘national hazardous waste list’ records, UV ultraviolet lamps belong to the mercury (mercury) containing hazardous waste, need to be formalised in accordance with relevant state regulations.

Summary: UV photocatalytic lamps contain mercury, according to the relevant documents of the Ministry of the Environment of the country is a hazardous waste, so everyone in the use of uv photocatalytic equipment when the replacement of UV lamps must not be arbitrary treatment, in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the state disposal to deal with! At present uv photocatalytic equipment due to the generation of hazardous waste lamps in many places have been unable to pass the environmental assessment.
