Thermodynamic Study of Removing Boron from Metallurgical Silicon by Si – Al Melt Refining

Article Preview

Abstract:

The distribution of boron between solid silicon and melt Si-Al alloy (KB) and the interaction coefficients between aluminum and boron in solid silicon were investigated by establishing the equilibrium between Si–B alloy and aluminum at 1623 K ~ 1723 K for 4 h and then quenching them to obtain the content of boron and aluminum in silicon and Si-Al melt. The results shown that the distribution coefficients of boron KB are 0.139~0.325 (1623K), 0.332~0.587 (1673K), 0.684~0.956 (1723K), and the interaction coefficients are 32.8±2.34 (1623K), 16.3±1.17 (1673K) and 8.2±0.6 (1723K).
