Industrial silicon is also known as metallic silicon or crystalline silicon. It belongs to metallurgical grade silicon materials. Its smelting principle is to reduce silica at high temperature in an electric arc furnace with carbonaceous reducing agents to obtain liquid silicon, which is then cast to form elemental silicon products.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219233901U discloses a split-type modular silicon ingot casting mold, comprising multiple ingot mold sections, which are assembled into an upward-opening groove structure. Adjacent ingot mold sections are connected by connecting units. Lifting lugs are pre-embedded on the outer wall of each ingot mold section. The advantages are: by using a split-type casting mold, if the mold lining is damaged, only the damaged section needs to be replaced, thus reducing mold replacement costs and consequently production costs. By incorporating cooling pipes, a cooling medium, such as cooling water or gas, can be introduced into the cooling pipes after molten silicon is poured in, accelerating the cooling speed of the casting mold through water or air cooling, thereby improving production efficiency and shortening the production cycle. The presence of a heat-conducting layer on the surface of the cooling base plate allows for rapid heat transfer from the casting mold to the cooling base plate, accelerating the cooling process.
