The recycling of fluorescent lights and high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps is a proven technology capable of reliably recovering greater than 99% of the mercury in the spent lights. Recovery begins by separating the components by a method such as the crush-and-sieve method. In this process, the spent tubes are first crushed and then sieved to separate the large particles from the mercury-containing phosphor powder. The phosphor powder is collected and processed under intense heat and pressure. The mercury is volatilized and then distilled to the required purity. The glass particles are segregated and recycled into fiberglass. Aluminum components are also segregated and recycled separately.
