Problems solved by technology

The process of this method is long, and the hydrazine hydrate used for reducing selenium is also highly toxic, the operation process is dangerous, and it is easy to cause environmental pollution.
[0007] To sum up, it can be seen that there are problems such as low comprehensive recovery rate, incomplete separation, complicated and dangerous operation, high production cost, and large environmental pollution in the existing copper indium gallium selenium waste recycling method. It is urgent to invent a CIGS that can solve the above problems. waste recycling method

Abstract

The invention provides a method for recycling valuable metals from copper-indium-gallium-selenium solar film cell chamber waste materials, and belongs to the technical field of secondary utilization of resources. The method comprises the steps that the copper-indium-gallium-selenium (CIGS) solar film cell waste materials are electrically dissolved; crude selenium can be obtained by introducing SO2into mixed liquid obtained after electrical dissolution, filtering is conducted after selenium sedimentation is completed, and filtrate is obtained; an organic phase and an aqueous phase of the filtrate are separated through extraction and separation liquid; cathode copper is obtained after reverse extraction and electrodeposition are conducted on the organic phase; aqueous phase neutralization and sedimentation are conducted to obtain hydroxides of gallium and indium; the hydroxides are roasted to obtain oxides; and high-purity gallium-indium metal mixtures are obtained after the oxides of gallium and indium are subjected to reduction smelting and purified. According to the method, a novel technology thought is provided for comprehensively recycling copper, indium, gallium and selenium in the CIGS solar film cell chamber waste materials, the recycling rates of the four valuable elements all can reach 96% or above, efficient selective leaching of copper, indium, gallium and selenium is achieved, and the method has a good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of resource secondary utilization, in particular to a method for recovering valuable metals from waste materials of copper indium gallium selenium solar thin film battery chambers. Background technique [0002] Low-carbon environmental protection is the only way for the sustainable development of human beings. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to develop new energy sources to replace existing traditional fossil energy sources. Solar photovoltaic power generation occupies an important place in new energy; thin-film solar cells have become the development trend of the photovoltaic industry; and copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells are currently the thin-film solar cells with the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency. CIGS was chosen as the absorber layer for high-efficiency solar cells due to its many advantages. First, by adjusting the content of Ga, the forbidden ba...
