Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for removing boron B from a metal silicon by a simple method.
- the obtained silicon further removes impurities other than boron. It can be used as a raw material.
- Silicon used in solar cells generally needs to have a purity of about 99.99999%, various metal impurities are 0.1 ppm by mass or less, and B is at least 3 ppm by mass, and preferably 0.1 ppm or less. It is required to be less than mass ppm. Silicones satisfying this purity include silicon for semiconductors obtained by the Siemens method, that is, high-purity silicon obtained by distillation and thermal decomposition of silicon chloride. However, the Siemens method is expensive and unsuitable for solar cells that require large amounts of silicon.
- Inexpensive silicon includes metal silicon obtained by reducing silica with carbon using an arc furnace, but its purity is usually about 98%, and various metal impurities such as Fe, Al and Ca are used. And P, B, etc., which are also used as silicon dopants. For this reason, it cannot be used as a raw material for solar cells. Therefore, many attempts have been made to refine this inexpensive metal silicon and use it in solar cells.
- various metals such as Fe, Al, and Ca Impurities can be removed by unidirectional solidification.
- this purification method uses the phenomenon that when the silicon melt is solidified, a large amount of metal impurities are distributed to the coexisting melt silicon and only a small amount is incorporated into the solidified silicon.
- the “impurity concentration in the solid phase silicon” is called the segregation coefficient. Since various metal impurities such as Fe, Al, and Ca have a segregation coefficient much smaller than 1, It can be removed from silicon by unidirectional solidification. In other words, these impurities can be removed from most other silicon by concentrating these impurities in the part that finally solidifies.
- impurities having a high vapor pressure in the metal silicon such as P, Ca, and Na, are removed from the silicon by dissolving the silicon under reduced pressure, that is, by a vacuum melting method. Can be.
- B has a segregation coefficient close to 1 and a low vapor pressure, so that it is difficult to remove B by the above method.
- various methods have been proposed.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-32319 discloses a method for removing silicon from silicon by a slag refining method, together with a method for washing silicon with acid, a vacuum melting method, and a unidirectional solidification method. According to this, the extraction lysates For more dissolved together CaF 2 + CaO + Si0 2 force of total 10 kg, a silicon Luo comprising slag and 5 kg at 1,450-1,500 ° C, boron in silicon B From 30 mass ppm to 8 mass ppm. However, the rate of reduction of B is small and the B content is large even after the treatment, so that it is insufficient for silicon used in solar cells.
- the slag refining method B in the molten silicon is absorbed and removed by the slag, but the slag with the above composition has a B distribution ratio (B concentration in the molten slag / B concentration in the molten silicon).
- B concentration in the molten slag / B concentration in the molten silicon There is an inconvenience that the slag refining method has to be repeated many times, as small as 1.375.
- the concentration of B in silicon is 10 ppm by mass.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-130114 discloses a slag or a slag component containing one or both of an alkaline earth metal and an alkaline metal oxide and a milled crude silicon (purity equivalent to that of metallic silicon).
- a slag refining method is described in which) is mixed vigorously before melting before melting.
- pulverizing crude silicon as a raw material requires considerable cost, and in many cases, contamination occurs during pulverization.
- strong mixing requires considerable costs.
- the silicon must be crushed and mixed with the slag, which is extremely time-consuming. For this reason, in the industrial process, a process including a grinding step and a mixing step is not preferred.
- the B concentration in the finally obtained silicon is 1 mass ppm, which is unsuitable for use in solar cells. It is enough.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-12317 discloses a slag refining method in which a flux (slag) is added to metal silicon and an oxidizing gas is blown. According to this method, high basicity of slag and high oxygen partial pressure can be simultaneously realized, and B in silicon can be removed efficiently.
- the base component in the slag has been mentioned CaO, CaC0 3, Na 2 0 , in the embodiment, B is reduced that power S according to 14 ppm by weight of the initial concentration up to 7.6 ppm by weight .
- injecting gas into molten silicon is quite difficult, especially for practical use for gas injection. There is no suitable material for the chisel.
- the B concentration in the finally obtained silicon is 7.6 ppm by mass, which is insufficient for silicon used in solar cells.
- Slag used is Na 2 0- Ca0-S i0 2 , after manufacture in the slag beforehand 1700 ° C (1973 K), was charged into the initial B concentration is high metal silicon bath, subjected to slag Sei ⁇ ing. It is stated that the B distribution ratio at this time was 3.5 at the maximum, and was improved from the maximum value of the B distribution ratio up to about 2.2.
- the B concentration in silicon can be reduced to only about 0.4 mass ppm in principle, making it difficult to produce silicon for solar cells. is there. This is because, as described below, the B concentration in the slag used cannot be set to “zero”, and it always contains about 1 to several ppm by mass.
- An industrial process in which slag refining is generally performed is an iron making process, but since B oxide is much more stable than iron oxide, it does not oxidize iron in the iron making process. B can be easily removed by a method of oxidizing B and absorbing the generated B oxide into slag. On the other hand, the stability of B oxide and silicon oxide is almost the same, and if B is oxidized and absorbed by slag, the silicon will also be oxidized. As described above, the characteristics of silicon and iron are so different that it is impossible to apply slag refining technology in the steelmaking process directly to silicon.
- the JP-4 one 130009 discloses that by adding H 2 0 gas or 0 2, C0 oxidizing such 2 gas and Ca0, Si0 2 oxygen containing substance such as the plasma gas, advantageously removed such as B A method for doing so is disclosed. According to the example, B has decreased from an initial 8.0 ppm by mass to 0.2 ppm by mass. Also JP-4 one 228 414 JP-added steam to the plasma jet, silica force (S i0 2), there is disclosed a method for purifying silicon co emissions. According to the examples, B has dropped from an initial 17 ppm by mass to 1.0 ppm by mass.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-246706 discloses a B removal method in which an arc is generated between a molten silicon and an upper electrode, and an inert gas, preferably an oxidizing gas, is blown into the container.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-193706 discloses a method mainly comprising silica having a gas blowing tuyere at the bottom. construed dissolved the silicon in the vessel, Ar or H 2 gas or a mixed gas from the tuyere, rather preferably further a mixture of at least H 2 0, C0 2 or 0 2 of a kind of the oxidizing gas, blown A method of implanting is disclosed. In this method, it is believed that B is removed in the form of oxide gas.
- JP-A-9-202611 decompose below 1400 ° C, H 2 0 or C0 1 or generating one or both of the two or two or more solid, molten silicon bath together with a carrier gas B removal method is disclosed.

- W089 / 02415 discloses a method for removing boron by generating chloride by adding chloride.
- the B concentration is reduced from 17 ppm by mass to 5 ppm by mass.
- the first group is a method of absorbing and distributing B in molten silicon to slag to lower B in silicon. These include methods of grinding and mixing silicon and slag components before dissolving, and methods of introducing oxidizing gas in addition to slag.
- the second group using plasma, arc, a special torch, oxidizing gas or S i 0 2, further adding CaO, BaO, and one or more kinds of CaF 2, the B oxide, vaporized How to remove.

- This is a method in which solids are blown into a molten silicon bath.
- focus on the use of chlorides There is also a method of disclosure of the invention.
- slag or slag raw material contains about 1 to several ppm by mass of B. From a laboratory perspective, it may not be impossible to purify the slag itself to obtain extremely pure B-slag, but technically, it is not possible to obtain a slag containing almost no B. It is impossible. For this reason, the addition of slag to silicon itself contaminates silicon, and it is not possible to sufficiently reduce B in silicon simply by absorbing and distributing B to slag. For example, a B is 1. 5 ppm in the slag, B distribution ratio, "S i0 2 saturated NaO 5 -..
- the method using plasma or the like in the second group can remove B by vaporization, so there is no fundamental difficulty unlike the method in the first group, but the equipment is large and costly, and industrially Not preferred.
- the third group is a method of injecting slag raw material together with gas.
- molten silicon is very reactive, so it is used as a gas introduction part.
- a structure with tuyeres and nozzles causes corrosion * destruction and is not industrially preferable.
- the method mainly using chlorides generates gas containing chlorides, which requires considerable exhaust gas treatment, which is also industrially undesirable.
- the second and third group methods also had the problem that the B distribution ratio was low.
- a method for increasing the B distribution ratio in slag refining is provided.
- a very simple furnace without tuyeres and nozzles will be used to provide a method that can simultaneously absorb and distribute B into slag and vaporize and remove B.
- the configuration of the present invention is as follows.
- step (2) the solid mainly composed of silicon dioxide and the solid mainly composed of one or both of the alkali metal carbonate and the alkali metal carbonate hydrate are melted.
- the solid mainly containing silicon dioxide and / or the hydrate of alkali metal carbonate or alkali metal carbonate hydrate.
- one of the solid containing silicon dioxide as a main component and the alkali metal carbonate or the alkali metal carbonate hydrate is used. Or a method for removing boron from silicon by adding a new solid containing both as main components.
- the addition amount of the solid mainly composed of silicon dioxide and the solid mainly composed of one or both of alkali metal carbonate and alkali metal carbonate hydrate is a method for removing boron from silicon in an amount that does not completely cover the surface of the molten silicon with the slag that forms.
- the number of moles of silicon in the silicon dioxide to be added depends on the alkali metal in one or both of the alkali metal carbonate and the metal hydrate.
- a method for removing boron from silicon that is 0.05 to 20 times the number of moles of an element.
- one or both alkali elements of the alkali metal carbonate and the alkali metal carbonate hydrate are lithium, sodium, or one of the lithium metals.
- one or both of the alkali metal carbonate and the alkali metal carbonate hydrate may be lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium hydrogen carbonate, A method for removing boron from silicon which is one or more of sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, and hydrates thereof.
- the main configuration of the present invention is as follows.
- the main constitution of the present invention is that both silicon dioxide and carbonate of alkali metal are directly added to molten silicon, and B is absorbed and distributed to the generated slag, and at this time, a considerable amount of B is added.
- This is a method in which silicon is separated from slag by evaporation. In this method, the gas Blowing is not required, so that there is no need to install tuyeres or nozzles in the furnace, and the present invention can be carried out in a very simple furnace.
- the first is that the carbonate of silicon dioxide and the alkali metal is added to the molten silicon as it is, and that the carbonate of silicon dioxide and the alkali metal is treated in advance to prevent slag formation.
- Partition behavior of boron between Si 0 2 saturated NaO .. 5 — CaO _ Si 0 2 flux and molten silicon cited earlier (Tanahashi et al .; Resources and materials vol. 118, No. 7, 497 in ⁇ 505 (20 02)), Na 2 0- CaO- S i0 after manufacture in advance 1700 ° slag 2 composition C (1973 K), was charged into the initial B concentration is high metal silicon bath, slag refining It is carried out.
- the carbonate of silicon dioxide and the alkali metal be added to the molten silicon as it is without being slagged in advance.
- an extremely high value of 5 to 10 or more can be obtained as the B distribution ratio, and B can be reduced to 0.1 mass ppm or less. If slag is added to silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonate beforehand, the B distribution ratio is about 2, which is the same level as the conventional technology. Also, the effect of vaporizing B is exhibited only when silicon dioxide and an alkali metal carbonate are directly added to molten silicon without being slagged in advance.
- alkali metal carbonates and alkali metal carbonate hydrates are also referred to as alkali metal carbonates and the like.
- the second important point is that the addition of silicon dioxide is essential.
- JP-A-9 one 202 611 cited above decompose below 1400 ° C, one or more solid for generating one or both of H 2 0 or C0 2, the carrier gas
- a method for removing B which is blown into a molten silicon bath.
- the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-202611 uses a nozzle or the like and blows solids into molten silicon, which is different from the present invention in which simple addition is possible.
- a critical difference from the present invention is that silicon dioxide is not added.
- the alkali metal carbonate if only the alkali metal carbonate is added without adding silicon dioxide, most of the alkali metal carbonate evaporates quickly, and almost no slag is formed. There is no. Also, since it evaporates quickly, the function of distributing and absorbing B to the slag that may be generated slightly and the function of evaporating B are greatly lost. Only when the alkali metal carbonate is added together with silicon dioxide, the function of distributing and absorbing B in the slag and the function of evaporating B are greatly exhibited.
- an inexpensive metallic silicon containing B can be obtained by a simple method using an extremely simple atmospheric melting furnace, in which only silicon dioxide and a carbonate of an alkali metal are charged into molten silicon. B can be removed to 0.3 ppm by mass or less, and further to 0.1 ppm by mass or less.
- metal silicon can be purified at extremely low cost into high-purity silicon that can be used for solar cells.
- one or both of silicon dioxide and carbonate of aluminum metal or hydrate of aluminum metal carbonate are directly added to molten silicon, and B is absorbed in the generated slag. At this time, a considerable amount of B is vaporized and removed, and then silicon and slag are separated.
- the temperature of the molten silicon is preferably not less than the melting point of silicon (1414 ° C) and not more than 2200 ° C. If the temperature is higher than this, the reaction between the molten silicon and the added hydrates such as silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metal is intensified, which is not industrially preferable.
- silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metals it is sufficient to add molten silicon from the upper part of the rutupo.
- a predetermined amount of silicon dioxide and a carbonate of alkali metal may be added at the same time, but a slight time interval may be provided for convenience of the apparatus.
- the important point is to create a state in which silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonate coexist. Silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metals gradually react to form slag, but this reaction takes about several to 30 minutes. However, unreacted silicon dioxide and carbonates of aluminum metal coexist with molten silicon.
- the method of adding the silicon dioxide and the carbonate of the alkali metal is not limited to the charging method, and other methods such as blowing may be used if there are circumstances on the apparatus.
- the B distribution ratio (B concentration in molten slag / B concentration in molten silicon) to slag formed from silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metals is 5 to 10 or more. Extremely high. At the same time, B vaporization and emission occur, so the effect of removing B from silicon becomes extremely high. It is not clear why these two phenomena occur, but the inventors believe that the alkali oxide is formed efficiently. For example, when using Na 2 C0 3 as the alkali metal carbonate is, NaB0 2 is formed, and to estimate the possibility of dissolving in the slag.
- NaB0 2 is a stable compound, and, since the boiling point has a sufficient vapor pressure in Siri co emissions above the melting point at about 1430 ° C, it is fully possible to vaporize dissipated in the form status of the NaB0 2 It is considered to be. Therefore, it is presumed that the method of the present invention for simultaneously adding silicon dioxide and an alkali metal carbonate is a method for efficiently converting B in molten silicon to alkali borate. Furthermore, when comparing alkali metal carbonates and their hydrates, the use of hydrates results in a slightly higher distribution ratio. However, the reaction with silicon becomes slightly intense, so which one or both should be used should be determined based on the equipment structure and operating environment.
- the B distribution ratio increases as the boron concentration in the molten silicon decreases. No such effect has been reported so far, and the effects of silicon dioxide and alkaline metal This is considered to be a characteristic effect when carbonates or the like are used as raw materials for slag, and all of them are added to molten silicon in their original form.
- B distribution coefficient is about 5-7.
- the B distribution ratio is sufficiently large even when the B distribution ratio is 5 to 7, but when the boron concentration in the molten silicon drops to about 1 ppm by mass, the B distribution ratio becomes an extremely large value of 10 or more. In other words, the more the removal of B in the silicon, the easier the removal of B becomes, which is a very great advantage of the present invention.
- the present inventors presume as follows.
- the possibility that B transfers to slag in the form of aluminum boroxide is already pointed out above, but the added silicon dioxide and carbonate of aluminum metal react with B to form alkali borane. While forming oxides, silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonates themselves react with each other to form an alkali silicate glass. If the reaction rates for forming these aluminum oxide and aluminum silicate glass have a certain ratio, this ratio will limit the amount of silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonate added. Only a limited amount of alkali borate is produced. For this reason, when the B concentration is high, there is a possibility that a certain upper limit value may appear in the production amount of the alkali borate.
- silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metal there are no particular restrictions on the number of additions of silicon dioxide and carbonates of alkali metal, etc., and they may be performed once or twice or more. There is no particular limitation on the amount of each injection and the total amount of input, but the amount of B contained in the metal silicon as the raw material, the amount of B in the silicon ultimately desired to reach, and the distribution of B It can be determined from the ratio and the amount of vaporization and emission described later. Of course, it is also possible to charge the silicon dioxide and the alkali metal carbonate etc. an appropriate number of times, discharge the slag there, and perform the charging operation of the silicon dioxide and the alkali metal carbonate again.
- a sufficient amount of silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonate can be added only once to silicon to lower the boron concentration in silicon to a predetermined value.However, if possible, silicon dioxide and alkali It is better to repeat the series of refining of remetal carbonates and slag discharge several times. Then, when boron concentration in the molten silicon is about 1 ppm by mass or less, when a new material such as silicon dioxide and a carbonate of an alkali metal is added, the B distribution ratio can be increased, and B removal can be extremely reduced. It is advantageous.
- the vaporization species B is referred to be a NaB0 2, for example, generated this vaporized species, region vaporization, melting silicon and silicon dioxide and Al force Li metal This phenomenon can be explained by considering that it is a multiphase interface between the air and the like or the slag produced from these and the atmosphere.
- the exposure of the molten silicon surface is not indispensable for the vaporization and emission of B, but is only effective in increasing the amount of vaporization relatively. The extent to which the amount of vaporization increases will be described in Examples.
- the ratio of the added silicon dioxide to the alkali metal carbonate, etc. is such that the mole number of the silicon element in the silicon dioxide is 0.05 to 20 times the mole number of the alkali element in the alkali metal carbonate, etc. Preferably it is twice. More preferably, it is in the range of 0.2 to 4 times. With these composition ratios, B can be efficiently removed from the molten silicon.
- As the form of silicon dioxide fine powder of 1 mm or less, granular of several mm, larger lump, or a mixture thereof can be used. However, if the size is too large, a long time is required for the reaction.
- alkali metal carbonate examples include lithium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, lithium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and one or more of these hydrates. Two or more can be used.
- a fine powder, a lump, a flake, or a mixture thereof can be used. .
- the atmosphere for carrying out the present invention may be either an inert atmosphere or an air atmosphere.
- Molten silicon seems to be oxidized in air, but when it is actually tested in air, the amount of silicon oxidized by air is extremely small.
- the present invention it is possible to use a simple atmospheric furnace, and it is only necessary to add the addition of carbonates of alkali metal in silicon dioxide and alkali metal to the molten silicon. It can be implemented very easily.
- the conditions for carrying out the present invention are not limited to the atmospheric pressure, and the present invention can be carried out under reduced pressure or under increased pressure. Slag generated from silicon dioxide and alkali metal carbonates and molten silicon can be used.
- a common method can be used for separation from the corn. For example, a method in which the crucible is tilted to discharge the upper slag, the molten silicon is left, and the molten silicon is later transferred to a predetermined mold or the like may be used.
- the equipment is complicated, but if an openable tap is provided at the bottom of the crucible, It is also possible to discharge only the molten silicon first while leaving the slag.
- A1 2 0 3 of about 10% of the total amount of such as silicon dioxide and carbonate of alkali metals, slag viscosity is high, the separation of the silicon will be better.
- A1 2 0 3 itself has no effect on B removal, it is advantageous for this purpose.
