Abstract

In the refining of solar-grade silicon using slag treatment, boron dissolved in the silicon is oxidized and rejected to a liquid oxide (slag) phase. In this study the partitioning of boron between liquid silicon and SiO2–CaO–MgO slags was examined at 1 873 K over a range of slag compositions and oxygen partial pressures. It was found that the distribution of boron is indeed dependent on both the slag composition and the oxygen partial pressure. The concentration of MgO seems to have little impact on the partition ratio.

Keywords: Silicon; Boron; Slag; Partition ratio; Oxygen potential
