Comparative kinetics study of different iron-containing pellets with hydrogen at isothermal conditions
Kar, Manish Kumar; Zhu, Mengyi; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Using hydrogen to produce iron is a promising way for the steel industry to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. The reducibility of iron-bearing oxides by hydrogen significantly impacts the productivity and energy ... -
Effects of La2O3 Addition into CaO-SiO2 Slag: Structural Evolution and Impurity Separation from Si-Sn Alloy
Zhu, Mengyi; Wu, Guixuan; Azarov, Alexander; Monakhov, Eduard; Tang, Kai; Müller, Michael; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Boron (B) and phosphorus (P) are the most problematic impurities to be removed in the production of solar-grade silicon by the metallurgical process. In this work, the distribution of B and P between CaO-(La2O3)-SiO2 slags ... -
Impurity removal from Si by Si-Ca-Mg ternary alloying-leaching system
Zhu, Mengyi; Wan, Di; Tang, Kai; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this work, Si-Ca-Mg alloys were made with different compositions and solidification conditions to investigate the impurity segregation and separation performance from Si, especially for the crucial P impurity at several ... -
New Insights into Silicon Purification by AlloyingLeaching Refining: A Comparative Study of MgSi, CaSi, and CaMgSi Systems
Zhu, Mengyi; Shengying, Yue; Tang, Kai; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the present work, a comparative study of the silicon alloying–leaching purification process was carried out on the recently developed Mg–Si system, the Ca–Si system, and the novel ternary Ca–Mg–Si system. Insights were ... -
P removal from Si by Si-Ca-Al alloying-leaching refining: Effect of Al and the CaAl2Si2 phase
Zhu, Mengyi; Yue, Shengying; Wu, Guixuan; Tang, Kai; Xu, Yijiang; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Phosphorus (P) is a critical impurity in metallurgical-grade Si that needed to be removed for solar-grade Si production. The Si-Ca-Al-P system is one of the most crucial alloy systems for Si refining, where P can be separated ... -
Phosphorus separation from metallurgical-grade silicon by magnesium alloying and acid leaching
Zhu, Mengyi; Azarov, Alexander; Monakhov, Eduard; Tang, Kai; Safarian, Jafar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)n this paper, the separation of phosphorus from metallurgical-grade silicon was investigated based on an Mgalloying and HCl leaching approach. Experimental results show that P concentration was reduced from initial15.1pp ... -
Recycling of industrial silicon-kerf waste via leaching and flux-melting.
Garshol, Askh Kano; Hannah, Skarsvåg (Bachelor thesis, 2023)Produksjonen av solar grade silisium oblater som brukes i solcelleproduksjon er en lang og kompleks prosess som resultater i at 50% av rent silisium blir kastet vekk etter kutte prossesen. Dette har vært et problem som har ... -
Silicon purification by acid leaching and slag refining techniques
Zhu, Mengyi (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:117, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Solar energy has become the most popular and fastest-growing renewable energy resource worldwide. However, it still requires the current solar-grade silicon (SoG-Si, purity 99.9999%) production with a larger manufacturing ... -
Silicon refining through alloying by calcium and magnesium, controlled solidification and leaching
Bergheim, Jarle (Bachelor thesis, 2022)I denne bacheloroppgaven var målet å bedre forstå hvordan avkjølingshastighet påvirker raffinering av silisium, når legeringssystemet Si-Ca-Mg brukes i forbindelse med utluting med syre. Mikrostruktur og effektiv fjerning ...
