More Description
This timely book presents the process, metallurgy, and technologies for the refining and recycling of silicon solar cells. In addition to describing solar cell production process, the authors examine methods for improving solar cell quality, propose a new approach to purify silicon, and describe future solar energy development. They also introduce several low-cost, environmentally friendly, efficient, and fast processes for recycling silicon waste--top-cut scraps and sawing slurry--including high temperature remelting, bubble flotation, centrifugation, and filtration.
