Abstract

A method is disclosed for stripping mercury from mercury-containing sludges, the improvement consisting in that the sludges are first dried and then roasted, all these operations being carried out under a subatmospherical pressure, a final condensation of the vapor phases takes place under superatmospherical pressure. A high efficiency of recovery is thus warranted.
