PV module recycling tech based on electrohydraulic shockwave fragmentation

An international research team has developed a new machine that utilizes shockwaves to separate the different materials of a PV module. Chemical processes can be further used to extract silicon and silver. Results show the recovery of more than 99. 5% of the original weight of the panels. Researchers from Poland's AGH University of Krakow and Singapore's Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) have developed a novel method for recycling crystalline silicon PV panels. Their findings show that the electrohydraulic shockwave fragmentation (EHF) technique enables the recovery of more ...
