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
