Efficient Recovery of Silver and Aluminum from End-of-Life
Recycling solar panels is crucial to mitigating the environmental impact of the growing volume of end-of-life photovoltaic waste and to conserve valuable resources, while achieving high
After recycling, the EoL PV modules were successfully treated, and the reclaimed Si powder was retained for future upcycling. This study also successfully demonstrated the viability of reclaiming high-purity silicon powder from solar cell waste modules using thermal and WGS processes.
The paper reports experimental results in order to synthesize an integrated process based on the principles of the sustainability for the recovery of critical and precious metals from photovoltaic panel wastes. The individual stages of the process have been designed by using EoL PV panels.
In order to realize green and efficient recycling of PV panels, the recycling process includes the following stages: pretreatment, leaching of Ag, purification of Si powder, and recovery of Cu strips. The process flow diagram is presented in Fig. 1. Fig. 1. Process flow diagram of recycling Si-based PV panels.
This work proposes an integrated process flowsheet for the recovery of pure crystalline Si and Ag from end of life (EoL) Si photovoltaic (PV) panels consisting of a primary thermal treatment, followed by downstream hydrometallurgical processes.
