Abstract

The paper studies the theoretical analysis of silicon purification process using the method of extraction from solid phase in fine-dyspersated condition. Axial profile impurity concentration in silicon particles, time dynamics of average impurity concentration at various purification conditions (temperature, particle size, impurity concentration in extractant) are obtained by numerical simulation. The requirements to a particle size and temperature condition when practically important purification efficiency is reached, are determined. The design of an industrial-scale plant is shown schematically.
