The novelty of the present work lies in (i) development of a reactive DEM-CFD (rDEM-CFD) model featuring complex inter-particle/phase interactions, heat transfer, heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions and its application in the pyrolysis process of solar panel particles;. . The novelty of the present work lies in (i) development of a reactive DEM-CFD (rDEM-CFD) model featuring complex inter-particle/phase interactions, heat transfer, heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions and its application in the pyrolysis process of solar panel particles;. . Some studies have reported different treatment technologies, including pyrolysis, stabilization, physical separation, landfill, and the use of chemicals. Each proposed treatment technique pollutes the environment and underutilizes the potential resources present in discarded solar panels (DSPs).
