- the pulse or discharge energy is between 1 J and 50 J, especially preferably between 1 J and 20 J.

- the supply (charging) of the silicon pieces via the side of the container attached to the nozzle 17 for material supply.
- the container 4 is closed with the (container) cover 6, in which the electrode system 23 and a vent pipe are integrated.
- the electrode system 23 comprises a plurality of second electrodes 10 designed as high-voltage electrodes, so that the largest possible, in particular large-area, (treatment area) process area is realized in the container 4.
- the first electrodes 9 designed as ground electrodes are either likewise integrated in the container lid 6 or alternatively in the base 12.
- the distance between each electrode pair consisting of one of the second electrodes 10 and the or one of the first electrodes 9 is set between 10 mm and 40 mm.
- the distance between two adjacent second electrodes is set between 50 mm and 200 mm.
- Underwater spark gaps are formed on the basis of the high voltage and ground electrodes, in which by means of the pulse generator, which is formed by the charger 20, the capacitor 18 and the high voltage switch S1, cyclic discharge with a pulse rate (repetition rate, pulse frequency) per high voltage electrode between 20 and 100 discharges per second and a pulse or discharge energy between 20 J and 100 J are generated.
- the working voltage for generating the shock discharges is set between 30 kV and 50 kV.
- the period duration of each high-voltage pulse is set between 0.5 ps and 3 ps.
- the pressure wave which arises following the electrical breakdown between the high-voltage and ground electrodes 10 and 9 propagates in the water and leads to the comminution of the silicon pieces.
- the sieve bottom 12 allows the discharge of the silicon according to the required target grain size, which is for example 1 mm. Downstream of the sieve is a conveyor belt 26 designed as a so-called bunker conveyor, which conveys the comminuted material fraction out of the water bath. Subsequently, the silicon grain produced can be dried and classified as needed.
- the method and the device 2 are suitable according to the second embodiment shown below for the efficient disassembly of glass polymer composites such as solar modules.
- a complete solar module or pre-shredded pieces of the solar module are placed in the container 4 filled with the (process) liquid F, preferably demineralized water.
- the polymer film as well as the metal contacts remain largely in their original size.
- the detached glass and the semiconductor material can be removed from the process space with the aid of the sieve bottom 12 and discharged with a downstream conveyor belt 26.
- the coarse pieces, that is, comparatively large, polymer film and the metal contacts can be transported continuously or discontinuously out of the container 4 by a flush of water and discharged by means of a downstream conveyor belt 26.
- a coarse, low-contamination glass fraction, a semiconductor fraction rich in fine fraction and a coarse fraction of polymer films and metal contacts can be separated and then dried if necessary.
