Abstract
A waste fluorescent lamp dismantling method and apparatus is set up to clamp two ends of a waste fluorescent lamp adjacent to its aluminum caps, and to maintain an airtight seal between the clamp sections and the aluminum caps, so that when the aluminum caps at two ends are separated from the waste fluorescent lamp, the gas and vapor in the lamp tube will be prevented from escaping. This apparatus and method can rapidly process waste fluorescent lamps while also conforming to environmental protection requirements.
