Problems solved by technology

In actual production, the bottom blowing refining of one nozzle will not only cause insufficient stirring of the silicon melt, uneven composition of the silicon melt, thus affecting product quality, but also cause longer refining time and more heat loss, which will eventually affect the output and increase energy consumption

Abstract

The invention relates to a silicon melt external refining device and method and belongs to the technical field of industrial silicon purification. A ladle bottom of the device is equipped with two gas nozzles, and an included angle theta between each nozzle circle center and a ladle bottom circle center meets a relationship of 90 degrees<=theta<=180 degrees; and the distance between each nozzle circle center and the ladle bottom circle center, nozzle radius r and ladle bottom radius R meet a relationship shown in the description. Compressed air or refining gas is continuously introduced into the two gas nozzles arranged on the ladle bottom; silicon melt which is smelted from a submerged arc furnace is placed into a ladle; with the increase of silicon melt discharged from the ladle, refining agents are added and the refining gas component and flow are adjusted; external blowing and slagging refining are performed; dross on the surface of the silicon melt is skimmed; and pouring is performed on the silicon melt to obtain a high-purification industrial silicon product. The device and method provided by the invention ensure the dynamic conditions of the silicon melt in the specially-made ladle, eliminate stirring dead angles, and effectively increase qualities of the silicon product.
