The invention discloses a
directional solidification purification method and
system for industrial
silicon. The method comprises the following steps: soaking
silicon powder with mixed acid to remove a
surface oxide layer and
metal impurities; mixing and melting the soaked
silicon powder and a
slag former according to the ratio of 10: 1, and continuously stirring for 30 minutes; and after standing for 10 minutes, removing furnace
slag on the surface of the melt, and enabling the furnace
slag to flow into a slag tank to obtain the silicon melt, so that the removal rate of Fe impurities is greater than or equal to 98%. After a flux is added into the silicon melt, stirring is performed, so that impurities such as Al, Ca and B can be effectively removed; a
reactive gas is blown into the bottom of the silicon melt, and the silicon melt is partially vacuumized, so that Al, Ca, Mg and P can be efficiently removed, and B impurities can be partially removed; by means of
crucible high-
temperature control and
induction coil arrangement,
Lorentz force distribution can be optimized for Al / Ca impurities,
impurity segregation is more thorough,
crystal defects are reduced, and the requirement for solar grade silicon purity is met. And finally, a
directional solidification method is adopted, so that most of
metal impurities can be gathered at the
tail end of the silicon
ingot, and the product purity reaches 99.5% or above.
