Description
図1はPVパネル100の全体構造を模式的に示す斜視図である。図2はPVパネル100の断面構造を模式的に示す断面図である。図3は太陽電池セル群10の平面構成を模式的に示す平面図である。図1~図3それぞれにXYZ直交座標系を記している。なお、図2は説明の都合上、5つの太陽電池セル1を示している。
図6は実施の形態1の貴金属回収システム20の構成を模式的に示す説明図である。図6にXYZ直交座標系を記す。貴金属回収システム20は、廃棄対象のPVパネル100の一部である加熱対象PVパネル部分90に対する太陽光パネル用分離装置として機能する。
図7は、廃棄対象のPVパネル100から貴金属である銀を分離して回収する貴金属の回収方法の処理の流れを模式的に示す説明図である。なお、貴金属の回収方法に含まれる一部の処理は、図6で示した貴金属回収システム20を用いて実行される。以下、図7を参照して、本実施の形態の貴金属の回収方法の処理手順を説明する。
第1の加熱機構(セル分離用加熱室21+局所加熱機構23)による第1の局所加熱処理及び、第2の加熱機構(貴金属分離用加熱室22+局所加熱機構24)による第2の局所加熱処理を実行する局所加熱方法として、電磁場加熱方法、水蒸気加熱方法、赤外線加熱方法及び誘導加熱方法のうち、いずれか1つの方法を用いれば良い。上述した加熱方法は、いずれも、加熱対象となる加熱対象PVパネル部分90や太陽電池セル1と接触することなく、局所的な加熱処理を実行することができる。
図7で示した処理におけるステップS3~S8の処理は、廃PVパネル部分100Bから銀を分離する貴金属の分離方法と考えることができる。
(a) 廃PVパネル部分100Bに対し、複数の太陽電池セル1の上方に設けられた透明基板であるガラスパネル12を除去して加熱対象PVパネル部分90を得るステップと、
(b) 加熱対象PVパネル部分90の残存封止材(封止材11及び16)に対し第1の加熱対象領域を第1の温度で局所加熱する第1の局所加熱処理を実行するステップと、
(c) 複数の太陽電池セル1それぞれに対し第2の加熱対象領域を第2の温度で局所加熱する第2の局所加熱処理を実行するステップとを備えている。
上述した実施の形態では、貴金属としてフィンガー電極3等の構成材料となる銀を示したが、それ以外に銅、金、パラジウム、白金及び銀パラジウム合金のうち、少なくとも1つが貴金属として考えられる。この場合、第2の温度は貴金属となる構成材料の融点以上に設定される。
本開示の貴金属の分離方法では、図3のステップS3において、ガラスパネル12のみを剥離する工程を示した。ステップS3の変形ステップとして、ガラスパネル12と共に封止材11の大部分を剥離する工程が考えられる。変形ステップを採用することにより、加熱対象PVパネル部分90における封止材11の膜厚を薄くして、ステップS5の第1の局所加熱処理の実行時に、加熱対象PVパネル部分90から複数の太陽電池セル1の分離を容易にすることが期待できる。
