Abstract:
      Recovery of selenium in Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell waste materials is of great importance. Recovery of selenium from sulfuric acid leaching solution of waste CIGS solar cell materials was studied. Effects of three reducing agents, namely copper powder, sodium sulfite and sulfur dioxide, on precipitation of selenium were studied. The results show that precipitation rate is better when using SO2, and impurity elements in acid leaching solution can hardly precipitate together with selenium, which has good selectivity. Effects of temperature, sulfur dioxide flow rate and initial acid concentration on selenium precipitation were investigated. Precipitation rate of selenium is about 94.51% and selenium content in crude selenium precipitate is about 95.67% under the optimum conditions including initial acid concentration of CIGS sulfuric acid leaching solution of 20 g/L, 100 mL of acid leaching solution is fed with SO2 at flow rate of 1.8 L/h, reacting temperature of 80 ℃ and reaction time of 2 h. It provides an effective method for recycling of waste CIGS materials.
