Determination of pb concentration level in cathode ray tubes by atomic absorption spectrometry

Objectives: In the present work were employed methods for the determination of lead glass from cathode ray tubes. For the analysis, they used small pieces of CRT components (television and computer) from different manufacturers and dismantled by hand. After milling, vitreous samples were analysed by SEM, EDS and XRD to determine the particle size and the elemental composition of the investigated material. For this study was used a mixture ratio of 1: 1: 1: 4 by weight (electron gun neck, funnel and screen).
