Abstract
Thermal decomposition was used to enrich indium tin oxide (ITO) from waste colour filter glass. The colour layer was destroyed through oxidation, and the ITO layer was separated from the glass substrate. With the increase in the temperature and time of thermal decomposition, the yield of ITO concentrate decreased, but the ITO recovery and enrichment ratio increased. Furthermore, the ITO could be effectively enriched at 600 °C and 8 min, where the yield, recovery and enrichment ratio of ITO were 0.06 %, 98 % and 1669, respectively. The particle size distribution of the ITO concentrate was mainly distributed in 0.1–1.3 and 2.6–42.0 μm, with cumulative percentages of 4.33 % and 95.55 %, respectively. Moreover, the crystal structure of recycled ITO was not changed. Substantial poisonous and harmful mixed flue gas are produced during thermal decomposition. After condensation and adsorption by activated carbon, the emission of mixed flue gas could be effectively controlled to avoid serious pollution to the atmospheric environment.
