Cold cathode lighting disposal.

Recycling cfls and other fluorescent bulbs allows reuse of the glass metals and other materials that make up fluorescent lights. Recently a new type of cold cathode has come on the scene. It is used in gas discharge lamps such as neon lamps discharge tubes and some types of vacuum tube the other type of cathode is a hot cathode which is heated by electric current passing through a filament. Epa encourages repair and reuse as a responsible ways to manage crts.

High power high frequency devices such as the twt are still the backbone of the high power amplifier. The cold cathode is a device for electron field emission replacing the hot filament in vacuum electronics. A cold cathode is a cathode that is not electrically heated by a filament. Virtually all components of a fluorescent bulb can be recycled.

Your area may prohibit disposal and or require recycling. A cathode ray tube crt is the glass video display component of an electronic device usually a television or computer monitor. Field emission with resonant tunneling fert a scheme. Raphael tsu in superlattice to nanoelectronics second edition 2011.

If reuse or repair are not practical options crts can be recycled. Cathode lighting systems inc. According to the national recycling coalition simply recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to light a 100 watt light bulb for 4 hours.
