Abstract:The solar energy sector has grown rapidly in the past decades, addressing the issues of energy security and climate change. Many photovoltaic panels that were installed during this technological revolution, have accumulated as waste and even more are nearing their End-of-Life (EoL). Based on circular economy, a new hydrometallurgical process has been proposed for the management of the EoL PVs. This results in a chemical extract containing 0.7 % w/w Ag, along with various other metals. This study investigates t… Show more
