TCLP test results on CFLs and reactive barriers

Test Sample* Hg in leachate (mg/L)** Se in leachate (mg/L)**
Before treatment
 nSe-doped cloth, no lamp <0.001 0.6 ± 0.3
 Spent lamp, no sorbent 0.098 ± 0.11* <0.1
 New lamp, no sorbent 0.011 ± 0.009 <0.1
After treatment (combined lamp/sorbent disposal)
 Spent lamp with nSe 0.101 ± 0.036 <0.1
 New lamp with nSe 0.005 ± 0.001 <0.1
*

S-AC cases: nominal 2 g sample, nSe cases: 5 mg

**

TCLP Limit is 0.2 mg/L for Hg and 1 mg/L for Se.
