Researchers near 100% silver recovery from end-of-life solar panels
Reported bypv magazine ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
University of Newcastle researchers achieved almost 100% silver recovery from end-of-life solar panels using froth flotation in the world's first continuous pilot-scale trial, recovering high-grade silver from half a tonne of solar waste without using acid.
This is a pilot-scale demonstration; commercial viability and scaling to large-volume panel recycling streams will require further development.
