Results from scaling up the new universal chemical recycling procedure for CIS, CIGS and CdTe photovoltaic waste

The authors report the results from scaling up of an universal chemical recycling procedure for copper-indium-gallium-diselenide, copper-indium-diselenide and cadmiumtelluride and similar thinfilm-photovoltaic-waste, including EOL. They present the analytical data for the obtained solutions containing the metals in very high concentration. The analytical data for the yielded clean glass are also reported. The treated glass is useful for float glass production as has been shown successfully in a large-scale test.
