A fluorescent bulb compactor and mercury vapor recovery system that allows for the safe collection and disposal of crushed or broken fluorescent lamps, while recovering substantially 100% of the hazardous mercury vapors contained within the lamps. A fluorescent lamp is inserted within a drum and broken into fragments by one or more blades, with the fragment falling to the bottom of the drum. The mercury vapors that are emitted from the broken fluorescent lamps are forced out of the drum by negative positive pressure created by a vacuum/filter assembly. Once through the filter assembly, which includes a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter, the gases are permitted to escape into the environment virtually 100% free of mercury toxins.

L'invention concerne un compacteur d'ampoules fluorescentes et un système de récupération de vapeurs de mercure permettant la collecte et l'élimination en toute sécurité de lampes fluorescentes broyées ou cassées, tout en récupérant sensiblement 100 % des vapeurs de mercure dangereuses contenues dans les lampes. Une lampe fluorescente est insérée à l'intérieur d'un tambour et cassée en fragments par une ou plusieurs lames, les fragments tombant jusqu'au fond du tambour. Les vapeurs de mercure émanant des lampes fluorescentes cassées sont chassées du tambour par une dépression créée par un ensemble de vide / de filtration. Après qu'ils ont traversé l'ensemble de filtration, qui comprend un filtre absolu et un filtre à carbone activé, on laisse les gaz s'échapper dans l'environnement, exempts à quasiment 100 % de substances toxiques mercurielles.
