Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solid waste resource treatment, and specifically relates to a green method for recycling and treating retired crystalline silicon solar panels. Background Art
[0002] With the increasingly severe global warming situation and the depletion of fossil fuels, clean energy such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, etc. has attracted more and more attention. As an environmentally friendly and high-conversion power generation device, solar cells have developed rapidly around the world in recent years. Since crystalline silicon solar cells were developed earlier, the technology is mature, and the conversion rate is high, they have the largest market share. Retired crystalline silicon solar panels are a valuable urban mineral resource, from which materials can be extracted to re-manufacture photovoltaic modules to achieve material recycling.
[0003] At present, the research on photovoltaic module recycling is still in its infancy. Traditional recycling processes (such as organic dissolution, strong acid dissolution, extraction separation, etc.) will produce a lot of secondary pollution. In addition, in the process of recycling silicon and silver, one challenge is that silver is usually dissolved in nitric acid, which is volatile and highly oxidizing. The acidic dissolution process will produce toxic nitrogen oxides and waste liquid. Another challenge is to remove SiN in phosphoric acid or HNO3-HF-CH3COOH solution. x , which also produces chemical waste, toxic nitrogen oxides and hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric acid is volatile and highly toxic, posing a safety risk to operators. Therefore, it is particularly necessary and important to develop a non-toxic and environmentally friendly green method to recycle silicon, silver and other metals from retired crystalline silicon solar panels.
[0004] In view of the technical problems of insufficient high-value utilization of existing retired crystalline silicon solar panels and environmental pollution caused by the recycling process, it is urgent to find a non-toxic and environmentally friendly green recycling method. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a green method for recycling and processing retired crystalline silicon solar panels, so as to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art of insufficient high-value utilization of retired crystalline silicon solar panels and environmental pollution caused by the recycling process.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention discloses a green method for recycling and treating retired crystalline silicon solar panels, comprising the following steps: 1) After high-temperature pyrolysis of retired crystalline silicon solar panels, tempered glass, aluminum frames, copper-lead-tin solder and crystalline silicon solar cells are obtained; 2) placing the crystalline silicon solar cell obtained in step 1) into a heated mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide for alkaline leaching, then heating and cooling, and obtaining silver and silicon solar cells after sufficient salt corrosion; 3) heating and oxidizing the copper-lead-tin solder obtained in step 1) to dissolve it, thereby obtaining a copper strip and a lead-tin coating; 4) The lead-tin coating obtained in step 3) is immersed in a NaOH solution and subjected to an electrodeposition treatment to obtain copper, lead, tin and tin dioxide.
[0007] Preferably, in step 2), the mass ratio of crystalline silicon solar cell sheet to mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide is (6-10):1.
[0008] Further preferably, in step 1), the high temperature pyrolysis conditions are: heating at 500-600° C. for 2-4 h under nitrogen or argon.
[0009] Preferably, in step 2), in the mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 16-42wt%, and the concentration of potassium hydroxide is 22-58wt%.
[0010] Preferably, in step 2), the heating temperature of the mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide is 180-220°C.
[0011] Preferably, in step 2), the alkali leaching treatment time is 1-3 seconds.
[0012] Preferably, in step 2), the heating treatment conditions are: continuous heating at 180-300° C. for 5-300 seconds.
[0013] Preferably, in step 2), the cooling condition is: cooling in 2-10° C. cold water for 20-40 min to room temperature.
[0014] Preferably, in step 3), the conditions for heating and oxidative dissolution are: oxidation at 300-600° C. for 10-60 min.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: A green method for recycling and treating retired crystalline silicon solar panels. The method not only realizes the resource utilization and high-value utilization of retired crystalline silicon solar panels by recycling aluminum frames, tempered glass, silicon wafers, silver and copper in the panels, but also provides an environmentally friendly green method for recycling and treating the retired crystalline silicon solar panels. The green method for recycling and treating retired crystalline silicon solar panels disclosed in the present invention increases the added value of the product. After high-temperature pyrolysis, tempered glass, aluminum frames, copper-lead-tin solder and crystalline silicon solar cells can be obtained in one step, which can be directly classified and recycled, and the added value of the recycled materials is increased. Silicon, silver and other metals are recycled by a green method. The salt etching method and the recycling of copper-lead-tin solder only use alkaline solutions to drive separation, which has little impact on the environment and eliminates toxic chemicals and secondary pollution. The difficulty of recycling and treatment is reduced. Tempered glass and aluminum frames that can be directly recycled are obtained through one-time pyrolysis, and then copper-lead-tin solder and crystalline silicon solar cells are processed step by step. The recycling process is simple and the operation is convenient and feasible. The tail gas is harmless, and the tail gas generated during the high-temperature heat treatment process is incinerated to prevent secondary pollution and protect the environment. The method of the present invention uses a combination of heat treatment technology and salt etching to achieve the recycling of retired crystalline silicon solar cell panels, glass recovery and silicon wafer separation, as well as the recycling of valuable metals and silicon wafers.

[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: A green method for recycling and processing retired crystalline silicon solar panels, comprising the following steps: 1) First, 15-20kg of retired crystalline silicon solar panels are placed in a closed heating device and heated at a temperature range of 500-600°C in an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) for 2-4 hours; tempered glass, aluminum frame, copper-lead-tin solder and 6-8kg of crystalline silicon solar cells are obtained; 2) Place 800-1000g of a mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide into an alumina crucible and heat it to 180-220°C in a muffle furnace; 3) The crystalline silicon solar cell obtained after the heat treatment in step 1) is placed in the mixed molten salt heated in step 2) and immersed for 1-3 seconds to completely wet the crystalline silicon solar cell; 4) After the alkali leaching treatment in step 3), the crystalline silicon solar cell is immediately taken out from the molten salt, placed in an alumina crucible, the crucible is placed in a muffle furnace, and heated at 180-300°C for 5-300s; 5) taking out the crystalline silicon solar cell treated in step 4) from the furnace, and immersing it in 2-10°C cold water to cool it down to room temperature for 20-40 minutes; 6) placing the copper-lead-tin solder obtained in step 1) into a muffle furnace and oxidizing it in air at 300-600° C. for 10-60 min; 7) The copper-lead-tin solder oxidized in step 6) is immersed in a 40-50wt% NaOH solution at 90°C for 20-40 minutes; 8) Continue to recover the lead oxide and tin dioxide dissolved in the sodium hydroxide solution in step 7) by electrodeposition, and soak the lead oxide and tin dioxide dissolved in the sodium hydroxide solution in 40-50wt% sodium hydroxide solution for 5-10 minutes at 90°C and with the cathode current of lead at 1.2-1.4V and the cathode current of tin at 1.4-1.8V.
[0021] After pyrolysis in step 1), the tempered glass, aluminum frame, copper-lead-tin solder and crystalline silicon solar cell are completely separated, the plastic parts such as the back panel are reduced to ashes through heat treatment, and the exhaust gas is incinerated in an incinerator and then discharged; after the heating equipment is cooled, the tempered glass and aluminum frame are sorted for recycling.
[0022] In step 3), the concentration of sodium hydroxide is 16-42wt%, and the concentration of potassium hydroxide is 22-58wt%; the mass ratio of crystalline silicon solar cell: mixed molten salt of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide is (6-10):1.
[0023] In step 5), after the above-mentioned alkaline immersion treatment, heating and cooling, i.e., salt etching, silicon nitride, silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide can be selectively dissolved, so that the surface salt is completely dissolved in water, thereby achieving the separation of the silver wire and the silicon wafer.
