Once the mercury is removed we would like to dispose of the remaining glass diffusion pump properly, I am wondering if anyone has any experience or has attempted to do this previously that we could learn from.Questions are:What is the easiest way to remove the mercury from the diffusion pump?Are there vendors who deal with disposing of mercury contaminated glass?I appreciate any insight or help that can be provided. Thanks. I do have photos of the pump but they can't be sent to this list serve. So if seeing these would help you please email me directly and I can send them your way. Thanks again for your help in advance?Regards,Todd A. Melgreen, ASPChemical Hygiene Officer & Chemistry Lab/Stockroom Manager
