Abstract

A method for regenerating a fluorescent material from a recovered phosphor slurry characterized by including a chemical washing step wherein a hypochlorite and a periodate are used; a carbon removing step for floating carbon in the supernatant liquid by the use of ammonia thereby removing the carbon; an acid washing step; and a heat treating step in this order as well as a system for regenerating a fluorescent material comprising means for effecting the aforesaid steps. From this constitution, it becomes possible that impurities are easily and effectively removed from the recovered phosphor slurry, whereby a fluorescent material providing excellent luminance and excellent grade of phosphor film can be regenerated.
