Background technology
At present, China has become world energy sources production and consumption big country, but energy expenditure level is also very low per capita.Along with economical and social development, China's energy demand is by sustainable growth, for current energy shortage situation, deep thinking is all being carried out in countries in the world, and effort improves efficiency of energy utilization, promote the development and application of renewable energy source, reduce the dependence to Imported oil, strengthen energy security.
Solar energy power generating development in recent years as one of important development direction of renewable energy source is swift and violent, and its proportion is increasing.According to the preliminary statistics, China 2010 newly-increased grid-connected photovoltaic power generation installation 530,000 kW, accumulative total installation reaches 830,000 kW, ground large grid-connected photovoltaic power generation accumulative total 700,000 kW that install wherein, architecture-integral grid-connected photovoltaic power generation approximately 130,000 kW that install.The newly-increased installation in 2010 of photovoltaic generation market, the whole world is estimated to increase and surpass 120% on year-on-year basis, more than reaching 1,700 ten thousand kW, drives China's photovoltaic industry size to expand rapidly.
The development of photovoltaic industry depends on the purification to silicon raw material.In the process that silicon raw material is purified, there is crucial, a requisite link, exactly silicon raw material is carried out to directional freeze purification, directional solidification technique used is widely used in field of metallurgy purification.Utilize the segregation coefficient between silicon and impurity in silicon raw material to have this feature of larger difference, in process of setting, first the silicon liquid of crucible bottom start to solidify, for reaching fractional condensation balance, the impurity that segregation coefficient is little is out gathered in liquid state to the continuous separation by diffusion of liquid state from the silicon solidifying, along with solidifying constantly, carry out, the concentration of impurity in liquid state is more and more higher, under finally solidifying on the top of ingot casting, after having solidified, under comparatively high temps, be incubated for some time, make each composition fully spread to reach fractional condensation balance, finally the higher one end of foreign matter content is removed, obtain the polycrystalline silicon ingot casting of purifying.
