Recovery of pure silicon from photovoltaic modules. Researchers checking the industrial application

prof. Ewa Klugmann-Radziemska
Researchers from Gdańsk University of Technology can recover pure silicon from photovoltaic modules in laboratory conditions. Currently, they are checking if their technology can be industrially implemented. It is not only the photovoltaic, but also the entire electrical industry that rely on this expensive element. This solution will limit the consumption of valuable materials and energy in production processes and reduce waste generation.

Within the scope of a project funded from the VENTUS  program,  pre-implementation works will be performed to start the industrial process of recycling the monocrystalline and polycrystalline photovoltaic (PV) modules, obtained from end-of-life or damaged modules. Researcher plan to apply a PV module recycling method, developed in at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Faculty of Chemistry of Gdańsk Tech, which was patented in 2014.
