Aquamation or Water cremation #alittleknowledge #shorts

Instead of using fire to handle the remains, a new method is gradually being replaced, known as "Aquamation" or water cremation. With this method, the body of the deceased is immersed for three to four hours in a mixture of water and a strong alkali, such as potassium hydroxide, in a pressurized metal cylinder and heated to around 150°C. The process liquifies everything except for the bones, which are then dried in an oven and reduced to white dust, placed in an urn, and given to relatives. The wastewater is sent to processing plants and then released into the environment. Especially, this method doesn't vaporize mercury found in dental fillings; the mercury is collected and later treated to prevent its release into the environment. Currently, Aquamation is not only used for humans but also widely adopted for handling the remains of pets.

Mercury isn’t extracted from a filling because it’s an ingredient in dental amalgam. It doesn’t isolate back to mercury it stays amalgamated.
