This project focuses on recycling silicon waste generated during the production of solar cells, specifically from fixed abrasive sawing. It aims to enhance the sustainability of solar energy by developing a method to remove contaminants from silicon melt, ultimately improving the quality of solar-grade silicon blocks.
Solar energy direct conversion to electricity is expanding rapidly to satisfy the demand for renewable energy.
The most efficient commercial photovoltaic solar cells are based on silicon.
While the reuse of feedstock is a severe concern of the photovoltaic industry, up to 50% of the valuable resource is lost into sawdust during wafering.
Presently, the majority of silicon ingots are sliced in thin wafers by LAS (loose abrasive sawing) using slurry of abrasive silicon carbide particles.
The silic…
