Objective
Objectives and content
The main objective of the project is to make a cost
effective operation of the dismantling of photovoltaic
modules by recycling and reclaiming the most important
components as silicon wafer, glass sheet and aluminium
frame. The cost effectiveness of the operation is mainly
determined by the cost of the reclaimed silicon wafer.
First calculation leads to a reclaimed wafer cost of only
10% to 20% of a normal virgin wafer cost which has a very
big impact on the cost of the photovoltaic module. This
recycling operation will inject a considerably amount of
silicon wafers into the photovoltaic market which has a
positive effect on the supply/demand relation of silicon
wafers for photovoltaics. Two technologies are proposed:
the hot acid immersion technology and the fluidised bed
cleaning. Both methods will be further developed and
evaluated on the respective cost effectiveness.
