Total quantities of end-of-life photovoltaic panels in 2050 are anticipated to amount to 9.57 million tones [1]. We are not there yet, but discussions on recycling have already started. So we are… (More)
For thin film photovoltaic waste we finished piloting our new universal recycling procedure. We obtained a very high level quality of cullet, usable demonstrably for float glass production. But on… (More)
The authors report the results from scaling up of an universal chemical recycling procedure for copper-indium-gallium-diselenide, copper-indium-diselenide and cadmiumtelluride and similar… (More)
Cadmium, selenium, tellurium, gallium, molybdenum, indium and silicon are some of the major elements used in these photo voltaic cells. We know about the future limits in the availability of these… (More)
Recovering pure silicon from damaged or end-of-life PV modules can lead to environmental and economic benefits [1]. The chemical processing is a very important stage of the recycling process in order… (More)
Producers of solar photovoltaic panels have become responsible for the recycling of the modules they sell in EU Member States if they follow the publication of the latest revision of the EU waste… (More)
