Vacuum distillation refining of metallurgical grade silicon (Ⅰ) ——Thermodynamics on removal of phosphorus from metallurgical grade silicon
The removal of impurity phosphorus from metallurgical grade silicon is one of the major problems on purification of metallurgical grade silicon for solar grade silicon preparation.The thermodynamics on vacuum refining process of the metallurgical grade silicon was studied via separation coefficient of impurity phosphorus in the metallurgical grade silicon and vapor-liquid equilibrium composition diagram of Si-P binary alloy at different temperatures.The behaviors of impurity phosphorus in the vacuum distillation process were examined.The results show that the vacuum distillation should be taken to obtain silicon with less than 107 P,and the impurity phosphorus is volatilized easily by vacuum distillation in thermodynamics.Phosphorus is distilled from the molten silicon and concentrated in vapor phase.
