摘要
The purification of upgraded metallurgical silicon by extraction of boron and phosphorus was experimentally demonstrated using concentrated solar radiation in the temperature range 1550-1700 degrees C. The process operated with a flow of Ar at reduced pressure (0.05 atm) for elimination of P, and with a flow of H2O for elimination of B. Impurity content decreased by a factor of 3 after a 50-min solar treatment, yielding Si samples with final average content of 2.1 ppm(w) B and 3.2 ppm(w) P. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
