SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING LEAD-CONTAINING GLASS

摘要

Systems and methods for processing lead-containing glass are generally described. In certain embodiments, at least a portion of the lead within the bulk of the lead-containing glass is removed from the lead-containing glass and transferred to a liquid leaching medium. Removal of lead from the bulk of the lead-containing glass, as opposed to the surface and areas closely adjacent to the surface of the lead-containing glass, can allow for the production of recycled glass that includes substantially no lead within its boundaries.
