Hydrometallurgy is considered a promising method to produce solar-grade silicon (SOG-Si)
from metallurgical-grade silicon (MG-Si) due to its advantages of low cost, simple operation …

Silicon (Si) has been considered as one of the most promising candidates for the next-
generation lithium-ion battery (LIB) anode materials owing to its huge theoretical specific …

The high concentration of potassium in sodium aluminate solution seriously threatens the
seed precipitation process and reduces the quality of alumina products, but the separation of …

Si-based photovoltaic solar power has been rapidly developed as a renewable and green
energy source. The widespread use of Si-based solar cells requires large amounts of solar …

Ti-bearing blast-furnace slag is a metallurgical waste but a promising Ti resource. In this
study, Ti and Al–Si alloys can be prepared directly by separating a Ti–Si–Al alloy that was …

Segregation behavior of transition metal impurities (Fe and Ti) during the Al–Si solvent
refining of silicon was investigated. A directional solidification with induction heating was …

In this paper, the separation of phosphorus from metallurgical-grade silicon was investigated
based on an Mg alloying and HCl leaching approach. Experimental results show that P …

Currently, the elimination of Fe from Al-Si alloy for recycling Al-Si scraps, and the purification
of Si using Al-Si solvent for recycling Si wafers in solar cells or production of new Si wafers …

Diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) waste is an important strategic secondary
resource that determines the sustainable development of photovoltaic (PV) industry …

Phosphorus (P) is a critical impurity in metallurgical-grade Si that needed to be removed for
solar-grade Si production. The Si-Ca-Al-P system is one of the most crucial alloy systems for …
