And the recovery and concentration of the solar cells can be further improved by optimizing. Firstly, the narrow-grade classification is an important method in improving the recovery and concentration of solar cells. It can be achieved by customizing special mesh sizes.
In particular, the recovery of fine size fraction (0.25–0.5 mm, <0.25 mm) reached 37.83%, which complicates the separation process and reduces the recovery rate of solar cells. In contrast, the recovery of fine size was only 1.44% after pyrolysis. Fig. 8. Mass distribution of products of different treatments: (a) mechanical crushing; (b) pyrolysis.
The recovery of solar cells increased with the increase of fluidization time, and it tended to stable after increasing to 98.10%. In the meanwhile, the concentration declined to 74.24% from 84.40% for the appearance of more glass particles in the overflow product.
Recycling of photovoltaic modules concerns mainly silicon (Si) and Silver (Ag). Silicon (Si) is around 3.65% and the removal of silicon (Si) comprises many energy-intensive processes. Silver (Ag) is the most costly element used in a solar cell but the quantity is < 1% .
The removal of EVA is a necessary prerequisite for the recycling of waste solar modules. And solar cells are recognized as the most valuable materials for recycling among modules. The direct recovery of intact solar cells and the cover glass is considered the more suitable method [ , , ].
The extent of degradation at 140 °C amounts to 0.4% abs of the initial conversion efficiency of 22.1% compared to 0.15% abs at 80 °C. The extent of the efficiency degradation in the examined solar cells is significantly lower (by a factor of ~ 5) compared to solar cells made on B-doped Cz-Si wafers.
