Development of a Hg-free UV light source incorporating a Kr/Br2 gas, and its application for wastewater treatments

Abstract: Mercury lamps are typically the major light sources in water treatments. However, the use of mercury has raised some concerns with regard to the Minamata Convention on Mercury. As such, Hg-free microwave discharged electrodeless lamps (MDELs) that incorporate a rare gas and a halogen gas (R/H-MDEL) have been investigated with such Hg-free mixture filler gases as Kr/Cl 2 , Xe/Cl 2 , and Kr/Br 2 (R/H). Of these, only the Kr/Br 2 -MDEL lamp is self-ignited at an inner pressure of 15 Torr when irradiated with micr… Show more

“…Accordingly, current commercially available mercury-based UV lamps are now subjected to the enacted mercury regulations. As a result, our later study [13] developed MDEL lamps filled with Kr/Br 2 as the new filler gases that when exposed to microwaves emitted UVC light at 207 nm, 222-228 nm, and 291 nm.…”
