Diamond wire sawing (DWS) is the primary stage in the semiconductor industry for slicing
hard and brittle materials, delivering high surface quality with minimum kerf losses. Despite …

The installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power generation has grown rapidly in the last
decades. With the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry, the demand for Si wafers …

During the processing of silicon wafers for photovoltaic power generation, nearly 30–40% of
silicon ingot will be lost as diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) waste; this can result …

With the rapid growth of the photovoltaic (PV) industry, the amount of the silicon waste has
substantially increased, resulting in serious environmental problems. This waste mainly …

Iron is one of the most stubborn impurities in quartz minerals, and the iron content partly
determines the various applications of quartz. Iron can exist in quartz in the forms of iron …

Silicon cutting waste (SCW) produced during silicon wafer producing process mainly
consists of Si (80–85 wt%), SiO 2 (13–16 wt%) and other impurities (2–4 wt%). In this paper …

Abstract Approximately 35%–40% crystalline silicon becomes silicon powder waste (SPW)
when producing silicon wafers. Substantial amount of SPW will be produced as the demand …

Recycling diamond wire sawing silicon powders (DWSSP) from photovoltaic (PV) silicon
wafers production has become an urgent problem. The challenge of recovery is the surface …

With global warming becoming increasingly severe, environmental issues are receiving
international attention. Crystalline silicon is an indispensable and important raw material for …
