A Study on the Removal of Solder-Coated Layer of Photovoltaic Ribbon

Article Preview

Abstract:

The oxidation behavior of photovoltaic ribbon was measured for 48 hours over the temperature range of 300°C to 800°C using thermogravimetric apparatus (TGA). It was found that weigh-gained of both samples was found to be increased with increasing temperature and it was dramatically increased at 800°C for 30 minutes of initial oxidation time. Pure copper with 99.55% purity was successfully recovered from the photovoltaic ribbon of spent solar module using cyclic oxidation method.
