Is UV photocatalytic lamp a hazardous waste? How to deal with according to national regulations?

In photo-oxygen catalytic waste gas treatment equipment, we often need to place some artificial light sources to illuminate the malodorous gas entering the equipment and let it crack. Among them, the most commonly used is the uv lamp tube or ultraviolet lamp tube, which does not use the lamp cap to emit light, but uses electron waves (microwave or mid-current wave, etc.) to excite the substance filled in the lamp tube to generate molecules. The transition generates plasma to emit light.

According to the "National Directory of Hazardous Wastes" issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, UV lamps are hazardous wastes containing mercury (mercury) and need to be treated in accordance with relevant national regulations.

Summary: Because UV photocatalytic lamps contain mercury substances, they are hazardous waste according to the relevant documents of the Ministry of Environment. Therefore, when you use UV photocatalytic equipment, you must not dispose of the replaced UV lamps at will, but strictly Dispose in accordance with the relevant national disposal regulations! At present, UV photocatalytic equipment cannot pass the environmental assessment in many places due to the hazardous waste produced by the lamp.
