Phosphor　powder　from　waste　cathode　ray　tubes　(CRT)　was　leached　by　acid　leaching　technology,　and　also,　＂H2SO4　+　H2O2＂　system　was　utilized　to　reduce　the　release　of　poisonous　gas　H2S　into　atmosphere,　single　factor　method　was　used　to　determine　the　optimal　operation　conditions　(H2SO4　concentration,　the　volume　of　H2O2　and　H2SO4,　temperature,　time　and　the　ratio　of　liquid　and　solid).　Moreover,　a　quantitative　analysis　on　recovery　benefits　was　conducted　to　evaluate　the　effect　of　this　method.　Our　results　demonstrated　that　the　recovery　of　Y　and　Eu　has　highly　positive　profits,　as　their　price　reached　1018.69　CNY/kg　and　380.64　CNY/kg,　separately.　However,　the　recovery　of　Zn　and　Al　has　negative　profits　was　due　to　its　lower　enrichment　factors　(EFs)　and　market　price　in　comparison　with　Y　and　Eu.　In　general,　this　technology　has　a　great　potential　to　recover　four　major　metals　from　waste　phosphor　powder,　about　757.04　CNY　per　kilogram　powder　economic　value　can　be　produced　using　this　process.　Therefore,　using　＂H2SO4　+　H2O2＂　system　for　recycling　Zn,　Al,　Y　and　Eu　is　a　green　and　sustainable　technology　from　waste　cathode-ray　tube　fluorescent　powder.　(C)　2016　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
