- *Abstract
-
: This invention reports a novel method for recycling of thin film Cadmium Telluride photovoltaic modules at the end of their life, and manufacturing scrap. This process allows for minimum glass fine generation, requires little or no acid compared to other methods, and generates a pure cadmium and tellurium product at recoveries in excess of 80 percent. In addition, the process allows for the recovery of a clean soda-lime plate glass product.
