Abstract

Recently, it is increasing a amount of installized solar-cell rapidly, and waste Solar cell module are generated in according to the reduction of efficiency largely. Therefore, it is concerned at the environmental problems and recycling of valuable materials, greatly. The treatment processes of end-of-life photovoltaic modules are composed the disassembly of Aluminum frames, separation of Tempered glass, removal of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate and recovery of valuable Metals. For the efficient recycling, we are considered to the treatment technology seriously. And we are proposed on the general opinions according to the developing technology, EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) problems and promotion plans for the activation of recycling industry.

최근에 들어 태양광 발전의 시설용량이 급격히 증가되고 기 설치된 태양광 패널의 수명이 다하여 폐기될 모듈의 양이 점점 많아짐에 따라, 이에 대한 처리가 환경문제 해결뿐만 아니라 유가물질의 회수차원에서도 크나큰 관심을 받고 있다. 사용 후 태양광 모듈의 처리 공정은 대부분 알루미늄 프레임의 해체, 강화유리의 분리 회수, 실리콘 웨이퍼에 부착된 에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트(EVA)의 제거 및 태양광 셀 중에 함유된 유가금속의 회수 등으로 구성되어 있다. 전술한 태양광 폐모듈의 리싸이클링 기술들을 치밀하게 검토한 다음, 물질 선별기술을 포함한 효과적인 처리 기술을 제시하였다. 그리고 리싸이클링 산업의 활성화를 위해서 필수적인 생산자 책임제도의 시행을 비롯한 종합적인 의견을 제안하였다.
