Boron Removal from MG-Si by Slag Treatment with Copper Addition

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of slag treatment with Copper addition in silicon purification by metallurgical methods was examined in this paper. The microstructures and contents of Si-Cu alloy after slag refining were investigated by XRD and ICP, respectively. The majority phases in the Si-Cu alloy were Cu3Si and Si. The partition ratio of boron (LB) between slag and silicon was studied with and without Cu addition. Experimental results show that slag treatment with Cu addition can improve the LB in CaO-SiO2-CaF2 slag system, where a maximum boron removal ratio of 85% could be achieved.
