Problems solved by technology

(CSG Yichang project, Ningxia project) The existing problems are: the improvement of Siemens method requires huge investment, and the construction period is long
Extensive use of liquid chlorine and hydrogen has environmental and safety issues. Although high-purity brick silicon produced by physical metallurgy is not suitable for large-scale integrated circuits, polysilicon with a purity of 5N is very suitable for manufacturing solar-grade batteries.

Abstract

The invention discloses a solar grade silicon refinery method by using physical metallurgy. The method includes the following steps: firstly, a vacuum induction melting furnace is utilized and a high purity oxide crucible is selected to avoid carbon pollution; secondly, the vacuum pumping is operated simultaneously during the heating process; thirdly, the protective gases are injected into the furnace; when the melting temperature reaches a certain value, strong oxidative gases (chlorine) are injected into the bottom of the crucible; fourthly, while stirring the silicon solution, the strong oxidative gases carry out chemical reactions with Fe-Al-Ca-P-V etc impurity elements, which lead to the gasification and thermal insulation of the elements; fifthly, the refined silicon is injected into the tundish, and the directional crystallization program is processed. The invention has a simple method, an easy operation, rapid heating and no pollution. The silicon material refined by the invention can reach 5N or higher purity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of renewable energy materials, and more specifically relates to a method for refining solar-grade silicon by physical metallurgy, which directly uses vacuum induction melting and heating, and cooperates with strong oxidizing gas bottom blowing to remove impurities to produce silicon materials for solar cells. Background technique [0002] Since the publication of the Kyoto Protocol, the world has attached great importance to environmental protection and sustainable development. Petroleum, coal and other primary energy sources are gradually being exhausted. Everyone realizes that building a harmonious and sustainable society is empty talk without developing renewable energy as soon as possible. However, the traditional high-purity silicon production method requires large investment and great impact on the environment, and its production capacity is far below the pace of development of the solar photovoltaic industry. ...
