Highly efficient delamination technologies to recover and reuse metals, glass, polymers from end-of-life photovoltaic panels (EVERPV)

EVERPV的目标是为欧盟提供有效的解决方案，以实现对报废光伏电池板的可持续处理，并回收高纯度和高完整性材料。基于对光伏电池板背面废料的研磨和/或使用红外线灯加热，EVERPV将展示两种将光伏电池板不同层剥离的创新技术。与回收工艺相结合，它将能够回收杂质低于1%的玻璃，纯度高于99%的封装剂和背板聚合物，以及纯度99%的银。此外，该项目将与其他欧盟资助的财团一起解决硅的回收问题(例如PHOTORAMA)，以提供全球解决方案。新的分层技术将分别在Envie回收厂和9TECH上进行演示，达到TRL7。在EVERPV项目期间展示的技术目标是每年加工超过3000吨太阳能电池板，从而回收足够的原材料，到2030年每年生产超过35万块新电池板。EVERPV将最终展示回收材料在几个产业价值链中重复使用的潜力，特别是在光伏产业中。该项目将根据估计的光伏废物产生量以及环境和社会影响评估，对新的EoL电池板循环价值链的潜力进行战略分析。EVERPV汇集了来自8个国家的16名参与者组成的联合体，他们的专长包括太阳能光伏材料和回收工艺(CEA、CSEM、ENEA、TEC)、回收商(ENVIE，9TECH)、加工业和材料供应商(SGB、DTF、DPL、JBR)、光伏组件制造(VAL)、收集和废物处理组织(Soren、Erion)、政策制定、商业和培训促进者(SPE、训研所、BI)。

EVERPV’s objective is to provide EU with efficient solutions for a sustainable treatment of end-of-life PV panels and recovery of high purity and high integrity materials. Based on the grinding of PV panels waste from the backside and/or the use of IR lamps heating, EVERPV will demonstrate two innovative technologies to delaminate the different layers of the PV panel. Combined with recycling processes, it will enable to recover glass with less than 1% impurities, encapsulant and backsheet polymers with a purity over 99%, and silver with a purity of 99%. Besides, the project will cluster with other EU-funded consortia already addressing the recycling of silicon (e.g. PHOTORAMA) to provide with a global solution. The new delamination technologies will be respectively demonstrated at ENVIE recycling plant and at 9TECH to reach TRL7. The technology demonstrated during EVERPV project targets to process more than 3000 tons of solar panels per year, thus recovering enough raw materials recovered to produce more than 350 000 new panels per year by 2030. EVERPV will finally demonstrate the potential for reusability of recovered materials in several industrial value chains in particular in the PV industry. The project will lead a strategic analysis on the potential of new EoL panels circular value chains based on estimated PV waste generation together with environmental and societal impact assessments. EVERPV has gathered a consortium of 16 participants from 8 countries whose expertise ranges from solar PV materials and recycling processes (CEA, CSEM, ENEA, TEC), recyclers (ENVIE, 9TECH), process industries and materials suppliers (SGB, DTF, DPL, JBR), PV modules manufacturing (VAL), collecting and waste treatment organizations (SOREN, ERION), policy-making, business and training facilitators (SPE, UNITAR, BI).
