The research results have shown that complete leaching of aluminum from the silicon matrix is not possible. It can be explained by formation of aluminum compounds with oxygen and silicon on the aluminum particles. Total silver leaching is achieved at maximal 4M concentrations of nitric acid. The influence of nitric acid concentrations on the leaching efficiency of these metals is significantly reduced at higher temperatures (up to 50°C). Higher metal leaching efficiency is characteristic of larger SCA particles under more favourable spatial conditions for penetration of nitric acid ions.en0235-721620203137145Lithuanian Academy of Sciences PublishersAluminumDiffusionLeaching efficiencySiliconSilverSolar cells wasteTreatment by nitric acidChemieTechnikJournal Article10.6001/CHEMIJA.V31I3.4287Other
