• CFD Modeling of boron removal from liquid silicon with cold gases and plasma 

      Vadon, Mathieu; Sortland, Øyvind Sunde; Nuta, Ioana; Chatillon, Christian; Tangstad, Merete; Chichignoud, Guy; Delannoy, Yves (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The present study focuses on a specific step of the metallurgical path of purification to provide solar-grade silicon: the removal of boron through the injection of H2O(g)-H2(g)-Ar(g) (cold gas process) or of Ar-H2-O2 ...
