Bürkle mercury collector, can with screw cap

With the Bürkle mercury collector, spilled mercury can be easily collected and reused. The mercury collector consists of a can with a special foam insert glued into the screw cap. If the foam insert is pressed lightly onto spilled mercury, its pores open and absorb the mercury globules. When the lid is screwed down, the beads are released and fall through the perforated separating disc into the can.
