Problems solved by technology

[0004] The following problems still exist in the current slagging method: (1) limited by the solubility of boron oxides in the slag agent, the existing B removal technology tends to increase the distribution coefficient value as much as possible to obtain low borosilicate, so it is necessary to Raw materials with as low a B content as possible
(2) The refining and holding time is too long, which increases the cost
(3) Slag and silicon are not easy to separate after refining

Abstract

The invention provides a boron removal method and system for industrial silicon refining. The method comprises the following steps of (1) performing heating on a slag forming agent which is placed into a graphite crucible to be molten to obtain a slag forming agent melt; (2) enabling silicon powder and argon to be added from the bottom in the graphite crucible, wherein the silicon powder is moltento form a silicon melt and rises from the bottom to the top of the slag forming agent melt; (3) after the reaction is complete, enabling the slag forming agent melt in the graphite crucible to be discharged from a discharge pipeline at the bottom of the graphite crucible; and (4) enabling the silicon melt to be discharged into water from a sprue in the upper part of the graphite crucible, and collecting silicon particles. Therefore, the boron removal method for industrial silicon refining is not limited by the influence of the size of the distribution coefficient of boron in the slag formingagent and a silicon liquid, the boron content in the product is low, the operation is simple and convenient, the time consumption is short, the cost is low, and the method is suitable for large-scaleapplication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of metallurgy. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method and system for boron removal in industrial silicon refining. Background technique [0002] The performance indicators of metallurgical solar-grade polysilicon in the new material product catalog are: low cost, low energy consumption, purity above 6N, boron (B) content <0.15ppm, phosphorus (P) <0.35ppm. And as the raw material industrial silicon for preparing solar-grade polysilicon by metallurgical method, its purity is only 98%-99%, the B content is as high as 10-40ppmw, and the P content is 10-60ppmw, so the production steps of the existing metallurgical method for solar-grade polysilicon are: First off-furnace refining to remove B in industrial silicon, then remove P, and finally remove metal impurities to obtain qualified solar-grade polysilicon. Existing technologies for removing boron in out-of-furnace refining include hydrome...
