<p>To recycle fluorescent and television tubes, the latter are introduced into a container which can be sealed in a gas-tight manner and crushed under water. In this process, the ascending gases released are drawn off under suction and fed in a compressed state to the reuse process, acid which dissolves or strips off the pollutants being added to the broken glass, which is coated with pollutants, the dissolved and stripped-off pollutants are flushed out of the broken glass, the metallic constituents are removed therefrom and then the broken glass is passed to the further utilization process. A precipitating agent is added to the liquid phase and the liquid phase is then filtered, the yttrium-containing filter cake being delivered to lanthanide manufacturers for further processing. The filtrate is fed back to the container in which the tubes are crushed.</p> |
