• Boron Removal from Silicon by Humidified Gases 

      Safarian-Dastjerdi, Jafar; Tang, Kai; Hildal, Kjetil; Tranell, Gabriella (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Boron (B) is one of the most problematic impurities to remove from metallurgical grade silicon in the production of more pure solar grade silicon (SoG-Si). In the present work, recent progresses in the application of ...
    • Removal of Phosphorus in Metallurgical Silicon by Rare Earth Elements 

      Tang, Kai; Løvvik, Ole Martin; Safarian-Dastjerdi, Jafar; Ma, Xiang; Tangstad, Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Removal of phosphorus in metallurgical silicon is one of the crucial steps for the production of solar grade Si feedstock. The possibility of doping rare earth elements for phosphorus removal has in this work been studied ...
    • Thermodynamic and Kinetic Behavior of B and Na Through the Contact of B-Doped Silicon with Na2O-SiO2 Slags 

      Safarian-Dastjerdi, Jafar; Tranell, Gabriella; Tangstad, Merete (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Boron (B) is the most problematic impurity to be removed in the processes applied for the production of solar grade silicon. Boron removal from liquid silicon by sodium-silicate slags is experimentally studied and it is ...
