A method for recovering lead from lead-containing discarded electronic waste cathode ray tube glass includes the steps of taking a sample of cathode ray tube lead-containing funnel glass, crushing to obtain CRT glass powder, then uniformly mixing zero-valent iron powder with the CRT glass powder according to the mass ratio of 0.1-1.5:1, performing heat preservation at a temperature of 610-960&#xb0; C. for 3-180 min, and further cooling to extract the metallic lead from a SiOreticular glass structure of the CRT glass. This can be applied to pretreatment of the lead-containing waste CRT glass, and the metallic lead is extracted from the reticular silicate structure of the lead-containing waste CRT glass by adding the zero-valent iron in the thermal treatment process so that disposal rate of electronic wastes is improved and ecological safety is ensured. This method has important environmental, social and economic significance and broad application prospects.
