Recovery of Si from Liquid Si-Zn Alloy Using Si Rod
摘要
As part of the development of a new production process for solar grade Si, a method for Si recovery from liquid Si-Zn alloys was investigated. It was found that Si could be recovered using a Si rod. The removal fraction of impurity elements from metallurgical grade Si was more than 99 pct for Al, Ti, and Fe, 97 pct for B and Ca, and 86 pct for P, owing to the solvent refining effect of the Si-Zn alloy.
