Article Synopsis
- Reducing the stages and energy costs in recycling is important for the environment; using deep eutectic solvents (DES) can improve traditional acid methods, making them safer and more eco-friendly.
- This study explores using DES, particularly Ethaline, in recycling silver from solar panels, achieving an impressive 99.9% leaching efficiency from silicon cell scraps at 75 °C.
- Results indicate that the concentration of iron(iii) chloride affects silver recovery kinetics, and high-quality silver can be electrodeposited under oxygen-free conditions at 50 °C after leaching.
