摘要:
The invention concerns a process for recovering silver (10) from a mass of scrap (12) of photovoltaic cells (14). The process comprises the steps of: providing the scrap of photovoltaic cells, each comprising a silicon wafer (16) on the upper surface of which an anti-reflective layer and silver lines are provided; immersing the scrap in water or in an aqueous solution (18); applying ultrasound to cause the silver to detach; sieving the solution to remove the coarse solid fraction containing the silicon wafer residue; and separating the fine solid fraction (22) containing the silver from the solution.

Li-bearing slags are typically produced when Li-batteries or their waste are recycled on a smelter. The Li recovery process comprises the steps of: - powdering the metallurgical slag to a particle size distribution having a D50 of less than 100 µm; - contacting, in an aqueous medium, the Li-containing metallurgical slag, and an alkaline Ca-compound, provided in amounts selected to obtain a molar ratio of the Ca in the Ca-compound to Li in the slag of at least 0.75, thereby obtaining a suspension; - heating the suspension to a temperature of more than 80 °C for at least 30 min, thereby obtaining a leached suspension; and, - separating solids from liquids in the leached suspension, thereby obtaining a leach solution containing a major part of the Li, and a solid residue containing Ca. This alkaline leaching process allows for a straightforward recovery of battery-grade LiOH from the leach solution, while consuming less reagents than known acidic leaching processes.
摘要:
A method for the acid dissolution of LiCoO 2 contained in the cathode of lithium ion batteries, using acetic or tartaric acid as leaching agent, the method being characterized in that it comprises a first stage and a second stage, wherein said first stage comprises the step of separating the cathode components, while said second stage comprises the step of dissolving the pure LiCoO 2 with at least one acid. The method allows achieving an economically viable complete recycling process with low environmental impact.
摘要:
Method for the production by thermal way of a concentrated solid - substantially iron free - enriched in contents of indium, germanium, zinc, silver, lead and possibly other metals, starting from the residuals generated in the zinc production chain, such as jarositic and/or goethitic sludge and/or mixed sludges from the zinc extraction processes by direct leaching, with the simultaneous production of an iron alloy with chemical composition from cast iron to alloy steel and of an inert product with physical structure from vitrified amorphous to crystallized ceramic. Figure 1 represents a simplified and qualitative block diagram of one embodiment of the method according to the invention.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for the treatment of photovoltaic end-of-life panels, such as those made of CdTe and crystalline and amorphous silicon. The process involves automated physical and chemical operations that, combined in a sequence, allow recovering glass in the first place and also tellurium, zinc, cadmium, iron, and concentrate silicon, T1O2 and silver. By means of this process the different types of panel can also be treated all together, without any kind of preliminary selection. The process guarantees a recovery of glass of 80 to 85% by weight, which alone can satisfy the minimum target for the recovery of material imposed by the recent European directive 2012/19/EU.
摘要:
A preheat charging system for preheating scrap metal prior to delivery to a melting furnace. The system includes a preheating station having a heating chamber adapted to receive scrap metal. Hot gas from a burner chamber is circulated around the scrap metal. The burner chamber is adapted to receive exhaust gas from a hot exhaust gas source such as a melting furnace. A burner apparatus is mounted within the burner chamber in a flow path of an exhaust inlet port. The burner is configured to supply supplemental heat on demand to the heating chamber to supplement the hot exhaust gas. A first fan can be provided to direct exhaust air from a furnace to the burner chamber. A second fan can be provided for directing air into the burner apparatus.
摘要:
A method of recovering magnetite from bauxite residue, comprising reducing the pH of the bauxite residue to form a treated bauxite residue, drying the treated bauxite residue, adding to and mixing into the treated bauxite residue a solid source of carbon, to create a mixture, heating the mixture to a reduction temperature of at least 800° C. in a reducing reactor to produce a reduced bauxite residue in which a major portion of Fe2O3 present in the treated bauxite residue has been converted to Fe3O4, exposing the reduced bauxite residue to a particle separation step, and then separating the reduced bauxite residue into an iron-enriched portion and an iron-depleted portion.
