Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of resource recycling, and relates to a method for preparing high-purity silicon from a fused silica crucible after polysilicon ingot casting. The method specifically comprises the following steps: (1) preliminarily crushing the fused silica crucible; (2) purifying crucible scraps; (3) secondarily crushing the purified crucible scraps; (4) ball-milling the crucible scraps to obtain quartz powder with the particle size distribution of 800 to 1,000 meshes; (5) adding silicon carbonate powder and an adhesive into quartz powder slurry, and performing compression molding and drying for later use; (6) performing high-temperature smelting and directional solidification on a compressed mixture in a submerged arc furnace or an electric arc furnace to prepare industrial silicon, high-purity silicon or solar-grade crystalline silicon. According to the method, the waste fused silica crucible is effectively utilized, not only is cost of an enterprise in treatment of the waste fused silica crucible reduced, but also silicon products of various grades are prepared from the waste silica crucible to implement resource recycling and achieve consistency with the characteristic of circular economy, and the method has higher economic value and social significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of resource regeneration, and relates to a method for recovering and reusing a fused silica crucible after polycrystalline silicon ingot casting. Background technique [0002] With the development of society, the photovoltaic industry represented by polycrystalline silicon solar cells has developed rapidly. Polysilicon ingot casting is one of the important links in the preparation of polysilicon solar cells, and the quartz crucible used in this process is a disposable product, and the consumption is particularly large. After the ingot casting is complete, the fused silica crucible is converted to cristobalite material and becomes industrial waste. In the past, the processing method was generally to be used as building filler after simple crushing, but now it has developed to the point that people are willing to take it away only after paying the freight. In the future, with the continuous improvement of en...
