Abstract: A method for recovering phosphorus as a compound containing phosphorus from lamp waste, which contains luminophores, wherein a part, more than 20 wt.-%, of the luminophores are luminophores containing phosphorus, the method may include: a) mechanically partitioning out of coarse components; b) partitioning out of luminophores containing phosphorus as a dissolving process; c) separating the phosphorus; d) optionally carrying out at least one purification; and e) performing optional final treatment.

Abstract: Method of recovery of rare earths from fluorescent lamps. The method comprises six steps. The individual process steps are: Mechanical separation of coarse components. Separation of the halophosphate. Extraction in acids of easily soluble rare-earth fluorescent substances (mainly Y, Eu-oxide) Extraction in acids of rare earth fluorescent substances which dissolve with difficulty (for example rare-earth phosphates) Breakdown of the remaining components which contain rare earths (for example rare-earth-aluminates) Final treatment.

Abstract: A system and method for insertion of fibers into respective rows of fiber holes in a ferrule that involves mounting the ferrule in a first element and a proximal end of a first cable containing exposed fibers onto a movable element, adjusting the movable element until the fibers are adjacent to a bottom-most row of fiber holes, inserting each fiber into its respective hole in the bottom-most row, mounting the first cable in a second element, releasing the first cable from the movable element, mounting a second cable containing exposed fibers onto the movable element, adjusting the movable element until the fibers are adjacent to a second row of ferrule fiber holes, and inserting each fiber into its respective hole in the second row.
