Restoring the Reactivity of Organic Acid Solution Used for Silver Recovery from Solar Cells by Fractional Distillation

Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) is used to recover silver (Ag) from solar cells by adding an oxidizing agent. It is possible to regenerate by substituting of H<sup>+</sup> for Ag<sup>+</sup>, and thus it can be reused for additional reactions. However, MSA is highly hygroscopic, a...
