INSTALLATION FOR UTILIZATION OF LUMINESCENT LAMPS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: Utilization of wastes containing mercury.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is dealt with utilization of wastes containing mercury, in particular, with the device for extraction of luminophore from fluorescent lamps and may be used in an industry where it is necessary to separate dust-like substances from subjects. The installation includes a container performing a function of a crusher with the support structure, made in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and mounted with a capability of rotation around of its longitudinal axis inclined at an angle of 45°. In the upper plane of the container there is a window for loading lamps. The support structure of the container includes timbered a fixed sheet abutting without a spacing to the upper plane of the container made with an aperture above which a loading cylinder is fastened. The container is divided into three sections by transversal lattices, and on a lateral wall of the container in its upper and middle sections at a level of lattices there are opening hatches for unloading the lamps pedestals and glass breakage. At that in the middle section there are jets installed for feeding compressed air as the counter-current streams, and the lower section is connected to the system of evacuation of luminophore into the storage. The technical result is reduction of expenditures on realization of the process of utilization and on production of the installation, and also provision of the best protection of the atmosphere and employees from mercury pollutions.

EFFECT: the invention ensures reduced expenditures on realization of the process of utilization, on production of the installation, and the best protection of the atmosphere and employees from mercury pollutions.
