Thermal decomposition apparatus and thermal decomposition method applying the same

A thermal decomposition apparatus, configured to decompose a solar cell module, the thermal decomposition apparatus comprising:

• a heating zone, having a first space, a first inlet and a first outlet that are in space communication connection with one another, wherein the first inlet and the first outlet are located at two opposite sides of the first space;
• a cooling zone, having a second space, a second inlet and a second outlet that are in space communication connection with one another, wherein the second inlet is selectively in space communication connection with the first outlet of the heating zone;
• a first conveying mechanism, at least partially disposed in the first space, wherein the first conveying mechanism is configured to move the solar cell module from the first inlet to the first outlet;
• and
• a second conveying mechanism, comprising:
• a carrier, disposed in the second space, wherein the carrier has an inclined surface, a position of the inclined surface located adjacent to the second inlet is higher than a position of the inclined surface located adjacent to the second outlet along a gravity direction, the carrier is configured to move the solar cell module from the second inlet to the second outlet via the inclined surface;
• wherein a direction from the first inlet to the first outlet is non-parallel to a direction from the second inlet to the second outlet.
