摘要
The separation of SiC and Si3N4 inclusions from solar cell Si scraps to the slag phase during slag refining is essential to the recovery and production of high-purity Si. This study characterized the SiC and Si3N4 inclusions in solar cell Si scraps, which formed large clusters with complex shapes. According to the experimental and theoretical investigations, the inclusions with large diameters were found to be conducive to passing through the Si/slag interface and then being retained in the slag phase. The favorable conditions such as positive overall wettability, high operating temperature, low viscosity slag, and prolonged-time can promote the small inclusion removal from molten Si scraps.
