Hangzhou lights: brisk walking in the low mercury in front of the majority of enterprises to enter the field of LED

Energy saving lamps also contain mercury? Recently, the Ministry of industry, Ministry of science and technology, the Ministry of environmental protection jointly issued a notice caused the attention of consumers. In the announcement of "China gradually reduce mercury fluorescent lamp quantity roadmap" (hereinafter referred to as the "road map") clearly stipulates that by the end of 2013, for the elimination of compact liquid mercury production type fluorescent lamp; fluorescent lamp products only to 2015, average mercury content of about 80% less than in 2010. However, some of the enterprises in Hangzhou has long been walking in the low mercury in front of the transformation and upgrading of the production process, to the green economy to benefit.

Product packaging

Mercury is not included"

Compact fluorescent lamp, is commonly known as energy-saving lamps. After several years of promotion, has entered thousands of households.

Yesterday, the reporter visited the Hangzhou Century Lianhua Zhaohui shop. I saw on the two floor of the lamp shelves, energy-saving lamps are placed in a prominent position, the price is between 20-30 yuan. On the outer packing of the product, there is no indication of "harmful substances such as mercury". But in the internal instructions in the material, the content of the table column, but the list of lead, mercury and other elements, and are in the content of the provisions of the standard limit requirements, etc..

According to the "road map" interpretation, the principle of fluorescent light determines the lamp must contain a small amount of mercury vapor. Mercury is a toxic and harmful heavy metal element, it is difficult to effectively recover after the fluorescent lamp is abandoned. Europe and the United States and other developed economies have proposed to reduce the mercury content of fluorescent lamps.

Hangzhou enterprises fear no low mercury Roadmap

The country's policy direction, for the production of enterprises can be described as a hair and body".

"The year before last, our company has been on the process of liquid mercury has been adjusted, in July last year, liquid mercury has been eliminated. Star Lighting Appliance Co., Ltd., Liu Gong, head of technology, told reporters that at present the majority of the surrounding spiral energy-saving lamp enterprises have completely eliminated the production process of liquid mercury. It can be said that the lighting enterprises in Hangzhou has been in the front, the introduction of the country's roadmap will not adversely affect the production and sales of enterprises. Liu Gong said.

"Our factory is now the production process is to replace mercury in liquid mercury, mercury content of less than 1.5 mg. From now on, we focus on the development of new technology, the mercury content will be reduced to less than 1 mg. Liu Gong introduction.

In addition to energy-saving lamps, excellence, many lighting companies in Hangzhou also entered the field of LED. "LED lights don't need mercury at all. "Hangzhou to Yi Di Technology Co., the relevant responsible person said," more than the general LED lighting energy saving, energy-saving lamps of no two pollution and long service life, is a new generation of lighting source, now the momentum of development is very good. "

Focus on the promotion of efficient energy-saving lighting

Last year, a representative of the highest level of international lighting CIE (International Lighting Committee) held in hangzhou. It is reported that the first meeting was held in Austria, the headquarters of the CIE in Vienna, the second came to Hangzhou, China, which fully demonstrates the attractiveness of the booming development of the lighting industry in Hangzhou. At present, the city engaged in the semiconductor lighting industry more than 200 enterprises, industrial scale of about 10 billion yuan.

The development of efficient lighting industry plays an important role in speeding up the development of low-carbon economy and building ecological city. Reporters learned from the Municipal Commission by letter, recently, the city's energy-saving environmental protection industry three years of innovation and development of fresh baked. Clear in terms of efficient lighting products, accelerate the development of semiconductor lighting (LED, OLED), the development and promotion of landscape and urban road lighting, large-size LCD backlight, automotive lighting and other semiconductor lighting products. Speed up the promotion of low mercury type ordinary lighting with self ballasted fluorescent lamp, three color double end straight tube fluorescent lamps and other ordinary energy-saving lighting products. To build the domestic first-class LED and ceramic metal halide lamp industry gathering area. In the green lighting project, focusing on public facilities, hotels, commercial buildings, office buildings, stadiums, residential quarters to promote efficient energy-saving lighting. To the end of 12th Five-Year, organs and public welfare units to promote the application of energy-saving lamps to reach more than 100%, the urban residents of energy-saving lamps for more than 95%.

Progressive reduction of mercury content in fluorescent lamps

By the end of 2013, for the elimination of compact fluorescent liquid mercury production process.

By the end of 2014, and strive to completely eliminate the production process of liquid mercury, mercury emissions in the production process decreased by about 50% compared to 2010.

In 2015, the average mercury content of single fluorescent lamp is about 80% lower than in 2010, and more than half of the fluorescent lamp contains less than 1 mg of mercury.
