Process for recycling a cathode ray tube

摘要

The invention relates to a process for recycling a cathode ray tube having an essentially rectangular or circular design of screen, the tube already being vented, the deflection unit and the neck of the tube in the length of the electronic system construction, including the electronic system, having been removed and, after removing the clamping strips and the implosion protection devices, a decomposition of the tube having been undertaken by separating the conical tube part, which is connected by a narrow border area to the screen, from the screen. The internal and/or external coating (3, 4, 5) which is present on the screen (1) and the conical tube part (2) of the tube is removed by the use of mechanical means (16, 17, 22) in an essentially dry environment with relative movement between mechanical means and tube part and screen.
