Abstract

It was with some trepidation that I entered into private practice in the City of Perth, Western Australia. I had left behind a collapsing NHS style of dentistry in England, where the average high street dentist has to work increasingly harder and faster to maintain the same salary, with barely time for luxuries such as leisurely consultations with patients or experimenting with new equipment or materials.

The removal of mercury from dental-operatory wastewater by polymer treatment.

The mercury (Hg) content of dental-operatory wastewater has become an issue in many localities, and Hg removal is rapidly becoming a matter of concern for all dental clinics. This preliminary study tested the efficacy of polymers for the removal of Hg contaminants from the dental-unit wastewater stream. Two commercially available polymers were used to treat dental-operatory wastewater. Used separately, each polymer removed from 74.9% to 88.4% of the Hg from dental-wastewater supernatant. The polymers used in combination, within the recommended pH range, removed up to 99.9% of the total Hg from dental-wastewater supernatant. The estimated optimal concentration of the two polymers is approximately 2.33 ml of each per liter of waste, and more than 90% of the Hg may be removed with 0.13 ml/l. Results indicate that a combination of the two polymers may sufficiently reduce Hg levels to allow discharge of clarified supernatants into public sewer systems.
