[VIDEO] ICARUS – Silicon : A strategic and critical raw material
A lot of challenges surround Silicon, a material both strategic and critical, at the center of the ICARUS project. On one hand, this material is responsible for the designation “Silicon Age” of the 20th Century due to its overwhelming use
[VIDEO] ICARUS – Silicon-Kerf recovery & Mono crystalline ingot growth
One of the steps of the manufacturing process of solar silicon wafers consists in shaping silicon ingots, into bricks and into wafers. Wafer slicing leads to a loss of 35% in mass and a contamination of the Silicon-Kerf. ICARUS aims

[VIDEO] ICARUS – Waste Assessment
Waste assessment aims to collect information about other processes outputs and their properties beside the product. This assessment allows to know if we have a waste or a byproduct and if it is hazardous or not. The results of the
ICARUS on RMIS
RMIS, the EC initiative on Raw Materials Information System, gathers knowledge platform on non-fuel, non-agricultural raw materials from primary and secondary sources. It recently includes our project ICARUS in its database.
[VIDEO] First pilot campaign: Production of Silicon metal utilising waste from the PV industry
Northern Silicon AS and SINTEF have joined forces and successfully conducted a first pilot campaign, during which for the first time we produced silicon metal utilising waste from the PV industry. In this campaign, virgin high purity quartz raw material
Video: silicon waste inventory
During the production of solar panels large resource flows are generated. Currently some largely end up as waste. Here the challenge in re-use is connected to the material properties: the composition, purity and morphology will determine how the current waste
