The longitudinal bar is connected to the crossbar. The extensible elements are connected to the longitudinal bar. The vacuum chucks are respectively connected to the extensible elements. One of the vacuum chucks is located beyond an end of the operative platform and the other vacuum chuck is located above the operative platform when the crossbar is in the first position. One of the vacuum chucks is located above the operative platform and the other vacuum chuck is located beyond another end of the operative platform when the crossbar is in the second position.

To provide a recycling apparatus for a solar cell module capable of peeling off and separating a glass substrate which has been accidentally broken reliably and readily from another material. It includes: a pressing and fixing unit 10 that has a pressing and fixing jig 11 and a conveying unit 20 including a slide surface plate 22 and that pushes and conveys a solar cell module 100 so as to slide on the slide surface plate to a downstream side in a state of pressing, fixing and holding it with the pressing and fixing jig; a cutter unit 30 that, with respect to the held solar cell module, separates a glass substrate 101 and another material from each other using a cutting tool; a downstream pushing-out and carrying-out unit 40 that, given the separated glass substrate, conveys it to the downstream side; and a controlling unit 60 that controls operation of each means, wherein the pressing and fixing jig has a pressing and fixing jig base board 12 that moves upward and downward with an upward and downward motion mechanism, and a module end face abutting member 16, and presses, fixes and holds a surface of the solar cell module on the slide surface plate with the pressing and fixing jig base board in a state of bringing an upstream-side end face of the solar cell module into contact with itself with the module end face abutting member, thereby making it possible to peel off and separate the glass substrate from the other material even in a state where it is broken.

Provided is a method for efficiently processing a waste solar cell.

A method for continuously processing a waste solar cell, the method including a heating step of heating a solar cell module including a resin back sheet and a sealing resin layer in a pyrolysis furnace to melt and oxidatively decompose a resin component included in the solar cell module, wherein in the heating step, in a state in which the solar cell module is placed above a porous ceramic support so as to be separated from the porous ceramic support, and the porous ceramic support is stacked on a porous material supporting a transition metal oxide, hot air is sent from a porous material side to insides of the porous material and the porous ceramic support and to a gap between the solar cell module and the porous ceramic support.

A process for recycling contaminated solid material is provided. The process comprises heating the material yielding a solid phase, an oil phase, and a gas phase. Prior to being heated, the material is subjected to a pre-treatment involving a dehalogenation agent (DHA). The gas phase obtained is further subjected to a purification treatment. The DHA agent used is regenerated using a regeneration agent (RGA) and further re-used in the process.

A method is provided for recycling an aerosol generating article comprising a non-liquid aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor. The method comprises a first step of shredding the aerosol generating article to break up the non-liquid aerosol material and the inductively heatable susceptor. The method comprises a second step of separating the inductively heatable susceptor and the non-liquid aerosol generating material.

Ultrafast flash Joule heating synthesis methods and systems, and more particularly, ultrafast synthesis methods to recover precious metals recovery and other metals from electronic waste (e-waste).

Embodiments relate to one or more techniques that may be employed alone or in combination, in the refurbishment or recycling of used solar modules. In certain approaches, a (heated) wire may be used to cut through one or more layers (e.g., front encapsulant, back encapsulant, both front and back encapsulant, backsheet) of a solar module that is being recycled or refurbished. Some approaches may employ testing of a used solar module, alone or in combination with information (e.g., as part of a received package) regarding parameters of a used solar module such as panel size, width, length, height, thickness of glass, or others. According to specific embodiments, used solar modules may be subjected to various cleaning processes at one or more points during refurbishment/recycling.

A grinding-type solar module recycling equipment having a platform, a grinding blade and a negative pressure collector. A solar module is placed on a solar module placement area of the platform and the grinding blade is controlled to touch and grind the solar module layer by layer. The powders ground from different layers of the solar module is separately and immediately recycled by the negative pressure suction head. Therefore, the powders do not fall around. The grinding-type solar module recycling equipment not only does not generate secondary pollutants, but also has high purity of powdered recycled materials, which is convenient for subsequent utilization.
