EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A LOCAL FURNACE FOR MELTING ALUMINUM FROM USED SOLAR MODULES IN BURKINA FASO
Abdoul Aziz Ouiminga, Boureima Kaboré, Germain Wende Pouiré Ouedraogo, Sié KamThe manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) panels is evolving increasingly around the world. Used panels are a source
of environmental pollution because recycling them is difficult. In this experimental study, we propose a solution
for recycling aluminum from PV solar modules using a local furnace...
