AI Article Synopsis
- The research explored using a hydrothermal sulphidisation method to effectively separate lead from scrap cathode ray tube funnel glass.
- Prior to this process, the glass underwent mechanical activation to enhance the reaction with water, generating hydroxyl ions that facilitated the conversion of lead to lead sulphide.
- The study found that increasing temperatures significantly improved sulphidisation rates, reaching 100% efficiency after 8 hours at 300°C.
Article Abstract
This research focused on the application of the hydrothermal sulphidisation method to separate lead from scrap cathode ray tube funnel glass. Prior to hydrothermal treatment, the cathode ray tube funnel glass was pretreated by mechanical activation. Under hydrothermal conditions, hydroxyl ions (OH(-)) were generated through an ion exchange reaction between metal ions in mechanically activated funnel glass and water, to accelerate sulphur disproportionation; no additional alkaline compound was needed. Lead contained in funnel glass was converted to lead sulphide with high efficiency. Temperature had a significant effect on the sulphidisation rate of lead in funnel glass, which increased from 25% to 90% as the temperature increased from 100 °C to 300 °C. A sulphidisation rate of 100% was achieved at a duration of 8 h at 300 °C. This process of mechanical activation and hydrothermal sulphidisation is efficient and promising for the treatment of leaded glass.

Purpose: Myopia is a refractive error that impairs visual function and leads to visual blurring. This study aims to investigate the effect of violet light (VL) on controlling myopia, specifically in terms of axial length (AL), spherical equivalent refraction (SER), and visual acuity (VA).
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to compare VL and single-vision spectacles (SVSs) for treating childhood myopia.

The analysis of microplastics is crucial due to their widespread occurrence and significant impact as environmental pollutants. Appropriate extraction and analytical techniques are necessary to evaluate the abundance, dispersal, and effects of microplastics. In this context, the filtration step to extract microplastics from solution media is indispensable for quantifying microplastics accurately.

Recent studies on the distribution of microplastics in aquatic sediments have deployed different methods and devices for density separation of microplastics from sediments. However, instrument specific limitations have been noted, including their high cost, difficulty in handling, or/and the potential for elevated contamination risk due to their plastic composition. This study improves existing sediment microplastic separation techniques by modifying the commonly used conical shape glass separating funnels.
