Recycling and processing methods of waste LED lamps

Firstly, it is crushed by a crusher, the magnetic material scrap is separated by a magnetic separator, and then enters the eddy current separator to separate non-magnetic metal scrap aluminum, and finally the circuit board and plastic are separated by manual dismantling, and then handed over to the relevant industry. Recycle and reuse. The waste circuit boards are handed over to a Class A waste treatment plant for disposal.

Since the LED lighting source is composed of a variety of materials, in the recycling process, in addition to glass, plastics, circuit boards, and iron-aluminum materials can also be separated. Unlike traditional mercury-containing lighting sources, the phosphor, mercury and glass are separated by crushing. Compared with "dry processing technology", the recycling process of "crushing and sorting technology" of LED lighting sources also corresponds to suitable recycling equipment for different materials.

Recycling tubes and bulbs correctly is a very important effort. The mercury in traditional bulbs can be reused in products such as new bulbs or thermostats. LED bulbs can also be reused through special processing equipment to re-use the glass, iron and aluminum in the bulbs, making environmentally friendly lighting sources more environmentally friendly, and traditional waste lighting sources Contains hazardous substance "mercury". If it is not properly recycled and burned in an incinerator, it will pollute the air; if it is discarded in a stream, it will turn into organic mercury, which can easily cause brain disease after accidental drinking; if it is buried in the soil, it will change It is methylmercury, which pollutes groundwater sources.

While recycling waste lighting sources, if you buy light bulbs and lamp tubes in the carton at the beginning, you should put them back in the cartons, or use old clothes, newspapers, etc., and then deliver them to the hard-working cleaning team, lighting source shops, or environmental protection. Recycling companies and recyclers approved by the agency for recycling. Because the waste lighting source is fragile, if it is accidentally broken, it will not only cause secondary pollution of the environment, but also increase the danger of the recycling personnel's cleaning or the recycling process, so you must remember to do a good job when recycling the waste lighting source. Basic "break-proof" treatment and good recycling habits can make the entire recycling process smoother!
