Technical FAQs 4

How does thermal treatment improve the separation of glass encapsulation materials?

Tokoro et al. (2021) introduced selective crushing with an eccentric stirring mill, which significantly improved the separation of glass . During thermal treatment, the PV modules are heated to decompose the encapsulation materials, which enables the recovery of glass and other components.

What are the methods of glass separation?

The main methods of glass separation proposed in the literature include mechanical processes, thermal treatment and chemical dissolution. Mechanical separation methods such as crushing, shredding and sieving are commonly used to crush PV modules and release their components.

What is the recovery ratio of tempered glass and solar cells?

Recovery ratio of over 98% for both tempered glass and solar cells. The recycling of end-of-life (EoL) photovoltaic modules represents the final step in the photovoltaic industry chain. A critical prerequisite for component separation and recovery is the delamination of the solar panel layers.

Can tempered glass be recovered from end-of-life photovoltaic modules?

This study presents a novel thermal–mechanical method for the efficient separation and recovery of tempered glass from end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules.
