Metallurgical method to purify Si has many advantages, such as low energy-loss, environmental-friendly, low cost, and so on, which has become one of the most potential and inexpensive method in the solar industry. The project will be based on the solute segregation of Al-Si alloy during solidification to obtain the solar-Si crystal, and suggests a method to use the electromagnetic field to control the nucleation and growth of the primary Si phase during semi-continuous casting process. The nucleation, growth, segregation, collision and combination mechanism of primary Si phase under electromagnetic field, and the inbeing relationship with the purification result will be uncovered. The relationship between the segregation coefficient of impurity element and impurity content in the inter-region of primary Si phase will be clarified. The heat conduction between alloy and mold and liquid metal flow under electromagnetic field will be investigated. The formation condition and evolution law of Si-rich layer will be revealed, and the corresponding mathematic and physical models will be established. Finally, the project will provide a new independent technology to purify polycrystalline Si from hypereutectic Al-Si alloy by electromagnetic continuous casting, and to supply the cheap polycrystalline Si for the solar industry of our country.
