Managing Photovoltaic Waste Sustainable Solutions And Global

Waste photovoltaic ABS board processing technology

Surface modification techniques such as boiling treatment, Fenton reaction, and microwave-assisted flotation facilitate the selective separation of ABS from mixed plastic waste by enhancing its hydrophilicity. . With over 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste projected by 2050, the management of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) components in crushed photovoltaic materials demands immediate attention. Dissolution-based recycling using solvent and anti-solvent systems enables the recovery. . The growing volume of end-of-life photovoltaic (PV) modules requires the development of efficient recycling strategies to recover valuable materials, minimize environmental impact, and integrate circular economy concept into the field (Preet and Smith, 2024). PV modules are multilayer composite. . The objective of this study is to evaluate the use of electrostatic separation technique to segregate some of the main materials present in silicon-based photovoltaic modules: silver,copper,silicon,glass,and polymers from the back sheet and encapsulating material.
