Request Covid - 19 Impact

Mercury is a silver-colored metallic element that is found in the d-block in the atomic table. At average room temperature, it is the only known metallic element that is found in a liquid state. Metallic and pure mercury, when left exposed at room temperature, slowly evaporates and transforms into vapors. Also, the quantity of vapor in the atmosphere increases with increasing temperature. Mercury is highly toxic.

The degree of exposure to mercury affects and determines the level of damage caused by the human body. As humans inhale mercury vapors, it can cause serious damage to the nervous system and the body's immune system while seriously damaging the skin, eyes, and lungs in the process. Exposure to mercury vapors occurs mainly through industrial exposure. Measuring the amount of mercury vapor becomes vital to developing a safe environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down critical trade activities across several countries. The primary factor behind this slowdown is the countermeasures adopted by respective countries to curb the trajectories of this virus.

As major economies enforce precautionary lockdowns, a considerable gap between market supply and demand is being created, resulting in increased difficulties for both manufacturers and distributors to manage their respective operations effectively. This is a primary factor that is anticipated to influence prospects for revenue growth. However, as these lockdowns are gradually lifted, and economies begin to recover, this market is expected to reflect the same.

The instruments used to detect the presence of mercury in the solid, liquid, and gaseous state in the environment are known as mercury analyzers. Mercury vapor analyzers are specially used to detect the presence of mercury vapors in the environment. Several techniques are used for measuring and analyzing mercury vapor. One of the techniques that are used is known as the Соldss Vароr Аtоmіс Аbѕоrрtіоn (CVAA).

The CVAA instruments contain an atomic absorption optical cell. The stream of gas that is taken is passed through a pump. The separation of mercury vapor is done by adding dry gas to the gaseous mixture. Mercury vapors then get absorbed in an optical cell in the instrument and the quantity of mercury vapor is determined using mercury detection software. Another method used in a mercury vapor analyzer is cold vapor atomic fluorescence Spectroscopy (CVAFS).

The gases are exited using UV radiation, and the energy emitted by the gas is measured using a Photodiode. Two different configurations are used in these instruments. One method employs the simple atomic fluorescence, and the other method uses a gold amalgamation system that is used to detect the presence of mercury through atomic fluorescence.

Driving Factors and Lucrative Opportunities of Mercury Vapor Analyzer

Mercury is widely used in various industries such as petroleum industry, food industry as well as in various laboratories for chemical testing. These areas are prone to various accidents and spillages. Determination of the amount of mercury in the air thus becomes very important. The demand for mercury vapor analyzer in these industries and laboratories is expected to be very high. This acts as a major factor that boosts the growth of the mercury vapor analyzer market.

Moreover, Mercury vapor analyzer uses different kinds of technologies depending on the various areas in which they are being used. Customization of the instruments becomes necessary often to meet the requirements of the clients. Various accessories can be added to the instruments that can configure the instruments so that they can be used optimally. This acts as an opportunity for the market to develop newer accessories and instruments that can be suited to the individual needs of the user.

These factors are expected to bolster the projected profit margin for this given market in the forecast period.

Adverse Effects of the Mercury Vapor Analyzer Market

Certain samples that are taken for testing may contain a mixture of smoke as well as mercury vapor. If the concentration of mercury vapor in the sample undertaken is less than the smoke, then the contaminants will affect the findings of the analyzer making it difficult to access the amount of mercury vapor that may be present. This may be a major restraint that may negatively affect the growth of the mercury vapor analyzer market.

Most widely used technique to measure mercury vapor is the CVAFS. Gold films that are used in the cold vapor atomic fluorescence Spectroscopy(CVAFS) are not ideal to use in all types of environments. The gold film is not suitable for the environment which is devoid of oxygen. The sensor will not function under such conditions. This may act as yet another factor that negatively affects the growth of the mercury vapor analyzer market.

Significant Trends in Mercury Vapor Analyzer

Companies are developing fully all-purpose mercury analyzer instruments that have the capability to process and detect the presence and the level of mercury present in the sample in real-time. The instruments can be widely used for both the solid and the liquid samples. For instance, Mercury analyzer RA-915M is a distinctive all-purpose high sensitivity analytical instrument use for measuring mercury levels, which involves real-time detection of mercury vapor in the air, mercury detection in water, natural and stack gases, oil and condensate, solid and sediments, foodstuff and so on. It can be used to directly determine mercury in liquid and solid matrices within 60 seconds.

Additionally, Companies are continuously working towards developing new user-friendly instruments. The ergonomics of the new instruments would help the users to operate them using one-hand. Also, the instruments provide rapid and accurate mercury detection. For instance, MVI is a portable mercury vapor detector that utilizes a high-performance pump aimed at fast indication plus recovery. The instrument's audible alarm, as well as the large digital display, indicate the levels of mercury present. Ergonomically designed with a simple, one-handed operation MVI mercury vapor detector is the ideal survey unit for rapid and accurate mercury detection
