To eliminate B effectively from Si for its use in a solar cell, a novel process involving the slag refining of molten Si with Sn addition was investigated. The partition ratio of B between CaO-SiO2-24 mol pct CaF2 slag and Si-Sn alloy at 1673 K (1400 A degrees C) was determined by the chemical equilibrium technique. It was found that the partition ratio of B was remarkably increased with the increase in Sn content of alloy, which attributes to the increase in activity coefficient of B as well as the oxygen partial pressure. The partition function was accounted as much as 200 when the alloy composition was Si-82.4 mol pct Sn, which was much higher than the reported values in the range of 1 to 3. The required amounts of slag used for B removal from Si-30, 50, and 70 mol pct Sn melts were only 15.6 pct, 6.5 pct, and 1.2 pct of that used for the removal of B directly from MG-Si without Sn addition in a single slag treatment.
