Problems solved by technology

Plasma beam oxidation refining can effectively remove impurities, but the equipment is complicated and the conditions are harsh, and it is currently limited to a small scale; The coagulation method adopts eutectic alloying metal and industrial silicon, so that impurities enter the alloying metal, and the silicon and alloying metal are separated after cooling or the alloying elements and impurities are removed by pickling. There are problems such as large amount of alloy usage and high energy consumption. , and the impurity content still cannot reach the standard when purifying industrial silicon

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing solar grade polycrystalline silicon by molten salt electrolysis and directional solidification combination technique. The method is characterized by adopting the following processing steps: (1) preparing an aluminium-silicon alloy through eutectoid molten salt electrolysis; (2) separating aluminium from silicon through directional solidification; and (3) carrying out vacuum distillation and directional solidification on high-purity silicon. The phosphorus content of high-purity polycrystalline silicon obtained by the method is reduced to 0.08*10<-6>, the boron content is less than 0.1*10<-6> and the purity is more than 99.99995%, thus meeting the impurity content requirements (less than 0.5*10<-6>) of solar grade silicon.

Description
