This invention provides an
infrared LED anaerobic
pyrolysis separation device and method for retired photovoltaic modules, relating to the field of photovoltaic module recycling technology. The device includes a furnace body, a water absorption
tower, an exhaust fan, a control box, an
air pump, a conveyor support frame, a continuous conveying device, a
vacuum pump, a
ceramic catalytic filter unit, an
activated carbon adsorption
tower, an end-of-
pipe treatment
tower, an
infrared LED array plate, a lifting adjustment rod, a
nitrogen fan, and a VOCs absorption tower. The distance between the
infrared LED array plate and the roller of the continuous conveying device is adjusted by the lifting adjustment rod. The roller is first heated to form a controlled heat storage layer, and then the roller conducts vertical
contact heat transfer to the retired photovoltaic modules. The control box controls
oxygen-
free access,
pyrolysis state identification, segmented
waste gas purification, and safe
discharge based on
oxygen content, furnace pressure,
furnace temperature, roller temperature, roller drive current, and
exhaust gas detection values, achieving EVA film
pyrolysis and deadhesion, as well as the separation of glass,
silicon wafers, and
metal conductors.
