METHOD OF DEMERCURISATION OF WASTE LUMINESCENT LAMPS

摘要

FIELD: ecology.SUBSTANCE: method of demercurisation of waste luminescent lamps comprises destruction of lamps and vibratory cleaning of lamp breakage from luminophore. At that the destruction of lamps is carried out to the glass particle size of no more than 8 mm. After the destruction of luminescent lamps the lamps bases are separated from the glass on the vibrating grate and removed to the collector which is sent to demercurisation- annealing electric furnace. The heat treatment of bases is carried out at a temperature up to 100°C and the holding time of at least 30 minutes. Division of luminophore from the glass is carried out by blowing it in the counterflow-moving system "broken glass-air" under the conditions of vibration.EFFECT: increased efficiency and energy saving of recycling luminescent lamps, cost reduction and simplification of disposal technology.
