Solar glass antimony trioxide

The Dark Side of Solar Glass: Antimony, Geopolitics and the

In solar glass specifically, small amounts of antimony oxide help stabilize optical properties under years of UV exposure, reducing “solarization” (the tendency of glass to brown

Necessity for recycling photovoltaic glass: Managing resource

The production of this significant amount of (77.1–178 Mt) glass annually will place considerable pressure on raw materials, such as antimony (Sb), which is essential for PV glass manufacturing.

Addressing uncertain antimony content in solar glass for

Solar glass can be either low-iron paterned glass or low-iron float glass. Both can be recycled if the quality is acceptable, but this depends on the glass composi on and the end product to be
