Description
Photovoltaic silver paste can be used in the production of photovoltaic cells; this dataset includes the major raw and auxiliary material consumption, energy use, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during the production process. Infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and construction of facilities are not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The inventory data are compiled from multiple data sources. The production process of photovoltaic silver paste includes glass frit production (processes such as feeding, mixing, firing, cooling, screening, drying), solvent carrier production (processes such as feeding, mixing, discharging, grinding), and solar cell electronic paste production (processes such as feeding, mixing, grinding, filtering, testing).
Activity Description
The production process of photovoltaic silver paste includes the glass frit production process (procedures such as feeding, mixing, firing, cooling, screening, and drying), the solvent carrier production process (procedures such as feeding, mixing, discharging, and grinding), and the solar electronic paste production process (procedures such as feeding, mixing, grinding, filtering, and testing).
Process Description
Photovoltaic silver paste is a uniform paste formed by mixing high-purity silver powder as the conductive functional phase, glass oxide as the binder phase, and an organic carrier, then stirred and rolled using a three-roll mill. It can be used in the production of photovoltaic cells.
