Problems solved by technology

[0010] Glow discharge to generate cold plasma purification technology can also be processed at lower temperatures, but its ion density is low (below 10 10 ), the ion energy is small (less than 1eV), and the treatment effect is limited. In addition, its low-pressure working conditions limit its material transportation;

Embodiment 1

[0051] In this embodiment, the background vacuum of the system is first evacuated to 1mTorr, and then the carrier gas (Ar:H 2 : HCl=98:1:1), the gas preheating temperature is 900°C. Adjust the pressure to normal pressure, and then apply a sinusoidal AC power supply with a voltage of 4kV and a frequency of 10kHz to the system. After the discharge is stable, the silicon material to be treated is filled into the system through the feed system 1 along with the carrier gas. In the embodiment, the silicon material powder will be heated to 900° C. along with the carrier gas, so as to facilitate the progress of solid phase diffusion in the particles. The average particle size of the particles is 50 μm. The average residence time of particles in the device is 1h, and multi-stage purification or repeated purification can be implemented according to the condition of the silicon material itself.

Embodiment 2

[0053] This embodiment is under relatively low degree of vacuum (10 4 Pa) To implement the experimental scheme, it is necessary to further refine the particle size of the silicon material (1 μm), otherwise the average processing time will be shortened accordingly. Other parameters are similar to Example 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of purification of solar-grade polycrystalline silicon materials, particularly a physical purification method and device of metallic silicon. The device comprises a fluidized bed, a feed system, a plasma excitation power supply and a material collection and gas circulation device. A dielectric barrier discharge method is used in the fluidized bed as a plasma generation way; the fluidized bed is used for preheating and transmitting silicon powder; the granule average treatment time is controlled by granularity of silicon powder, preheating temperature of carrier gas and flow rate of carrier gas; the purification effect is controlled by preheating temperature of carrier gas, atmosphere type of carrier gas and power of the plasma excitation power supply for dielectric barrier discharge; the silicon powder restricted into the plasma is purified in the flow process; and finally, the purified silicon material is output from the tail end of the fluidized bed. The invention can be used for purifying the silicon material under the atmospheric pressure or near-atmospheric pressure, and has the advantages of high density of ions for purification, high energy, high purification efficiency and low cost.
