Description

Method for purifying polycrystalline silicon waste by utilizing waste glass of solar cell
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of recycling of solar waste components, and particularly relates to a method for purifying polycrystalline silicon waste by utilizing waste glass of a solar cell.
Background
In recent years, with the continuous development of new energy industry, the demand and specific gravity of solar modules are increasing, and a large amount of crystalline silicon waste and waste solar modules are generated.
The service life of the solar cell module is 20 years, but the actual service life is only about 10 years. With the progressive retirement of the earliest batch of solar cell modules, development of recycling technologies for solar cell modules is urgent. The crystalline silicon solar cell module mainly comprises the following components: aluminum frame, glass, EVA encapsulation glued membrane, TPT backplate, connector, silicon-based solar cell piece. Wherein, aluminium frame and connector accessible mechanical automation's equipment get rid of and retrieve, and the technique is comparatively mature. The rest materials are not effectively utilized, particularly glass, accounting for 70% of the scrapped solar cell module, and the direct discarding can cause great resource waste. Therefore, it is necessary to dispose of these failed battery modules and recycle the materials of the respective components.
In the solar cell industry manufacturing, the main silicon scraps include ingot casting scraps and crystalline silicon cutting scraps generated in the process of slicing crystalline silicon. In the ingot casting process for preparing the solar-grade polysilicon, the yield of the ingot casting is only 70%, and most factories directly discard the part of the offal material due to the excessive impurity content at the top, the bottom and the periphery, so that the offal is finally formed. In the process of producing polycrystalline silicon chips by a multi-wire cutting method, at least more than 40% of silicon powder and silicon carbide abrasive materials are mixed to form cutting waste materials, and the cutting waste materials are basically in a stacking or low-value utilization state at present. The silicon scrap contains metal impurities such as Al and inclusions such as silicon carbide and silicon nitride. Therefore, the selection of a proper method for separating inclusions such as SiC is important for recycling and purifying the waste silicon material of the solar cell.
At present, no clear and effective recycling means exists for waste glass and crystalline silicon waste in photovoltaic modules. The technology for purifying the crystalline silicon waste is not mature, and the recovery treatment means for the waste glass is deficient, so the conventional method is directly abandoned, but the available materials in the waste glass are lost, so that the resource waste and the environmental burden are caused. On the other hand, aiming at hard inclusions such as silicon carbide, silicon nitride and the like in the polycrystalline silicon tailings, the emerging slag refining method achieves a certain effect, but the slag dosage is large, and the cost is increased for waste recovery. Therefore, the selection of a novel slag agent with low cost and high efficiency for recycling the silicon waste is one of the important research directions at present.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a method for purifying polysilicon waste by utilizing waste glass of a solar cell, which uses the waste glass as refining slag, has simple operation and no pollutant in the process. The glass refining slag has low melting point and low viscosity, has good wettability with inclusions and strong affinity with impurities such as Al, and can effectively remove the inclusions and metal impurities in the crystalline silicon waste.
In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
a method for purifying polysilicon waste by using solar cell waste glass, the method comprising the steps of:

(5) Placing the crucible containing the crystalline silicon waste and the refining slag into a high-temperature furnace, setting the temperature to be 1450-1700 ℃ at Wen Lugong, preserving heat for 0.5-5h, carrying out heat preservation refining for 1-5 times, and then separating the two phases of the silicon slag.
In the above technical scheme, further, the diameter of the glass slag in the step (2) is 0.6-1mm.
In the above technical scheme, further, in the step (3), the glass content in the refining slag is 50-95%.

In the technical scheme, further, after each heat preservation refining is finished, the slag is poured off, and meanwhile, newly prepared refining slag is put in to continue the heat preservation refining.
In the technical scheme, further, the heat preservation refining process is performed under the air atmosphere.
According to the invention, the waste glass and auxiliary materials in the solar cell module form refining slag, the crystalline silicon waste material and the refining slag are subjected to eutectic melting under the action of high temperature, the good wettability between the refining slag and nonmetallic inclusion and the good affinity between oxygen and aluminum and other impurities in the refining slag are utilized, the impurities and metal impurities in the crystalline silicon waste material are removed by utilizing the refining slag, and finally, the high-purity crystalline silicon material is obtained through slag-silicon separation, so that the recycling of the crystalline silicon waste material and the waste glass of the solar cell module can be realized in one step. The method has low cost, high efficiency of removing impurities and metal impurities, no pollution in the process, and the separated refining slag can be used as raw materials for reproducing glass, marble and the like, thereby increasing the economical efficiency of the technology.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
the traditional slag-making refining is mainly used for removing Al, mg, ba, ca, B, P and other impurities, the non-metallic inclusions still need to be removed by a directional solidification means in the follow-up process, and the traditional slag-making means needs to prepare slag agents for slag-making refining, and the slag agents have high melting point, high viscosity and limited separation effect; the method can directly utilize the waste glass slag as the main component of refining slag, is convenient to operate, greatly improves the removal rate of nonmetallic inclusion, improves the quality of polysilicon, and has the purity of 2N-6N after purification, wherein the purity of the inclusion is lower than 1 percent, and secondly, the slag agent is selected to realize the reutilization of solar cell module waste, thereby greatly reducing the recovery cost.
The invention relates to a low-cost and environment-friendly production method, which belongs to an energy-saving and environment-friendly manufacturing technology. The large-scale application and popularization of the technology can improve the market competitiveness of enterprises and protect the environment.
