Reactivation of Mercury Using Electrolysis

This document explains a method for restoring oxidized mercury to a usable elemental state through electrolysis. It describes the problem of mercury degradation over time, noting reduced efficiency in bonding with gold and the resulting disposal of ineffective material. The document outlines two restoration options, with emphasis on an electrolysis bath, and specifies required equipment and materials. It presents a step-by-step technique in which an electrical charge alters the mercury through interaction with a sodium hydroxide solution.
