Abstract

A method for recovering lead from lead-containing discarded electronic waste cathode ray tube glass includes the steps of taking a sample of cathode ray tube lead-containing funnel glass, crushing to obtain CRT glass powder, then uniformly mixing zero-valent iron powder with the CRT glass powder according to the mass ratio of 0.1-1.5:1, performing heat preservation at a temperature of 610-960° C. for 3-180 min, and further cooling to extract the metallic lead from a SiO 2 reticular glass structure of the CRT glass. This can be applied to pretreatment of the lead-containing waste CRT glass, and the metallic lead is extracted from the reticular silicate structure of the lead-containing waste CRT glass by adding the zero-valent iron in the thermal treatment process so that disposal rate of electronic wastes is improved and ecological safety is ensured. This method has important environmental, social and economic significance and broad application prospects.

Claims (12)

1. A method for recovering lead from lead-containing discarded electronic waste cathode ray tube (CRT) glass, comprising the steps of:

taking a sample of cathode ray tube lead-containing funnel glass;

crushing the sample to obtain CRT glass powder;

preparing a mixture by mixing zero-valent iron powder with the CRT glass powder according to a mass ratio of 0.1-1.5:1;

performing heat preservation of the mixture at a temperature of 610-960° C. for 3-180 min; and

cooling the mixture to extract metallic lead from a SiO 2 reticular glass structure of the CRT glass.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of taking includes breaking a funnel screen joint part of the CRT and taking the sample of the cathode ray tube lead-containing funnel glass from the funnel screen joint part, and

wherein the step of crushing includes breaking the sample until the particle size is 1-3 cm, crushing by a planetary ball mill until the particle size is less than 65 meshes, and drying at a temperature of 105° C. for 24 h to obtain the CRT glass powder.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the temperature is 610-910° C.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the heat preservation is for 15-45 min.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heat preservation is for 15-45 min.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mass ratio of the zero-valent iron powder to the CRT glass powder is 1.5:1, the temperature is 710° C., and the heat preservation is for 30 min.
