Patent abstract
The silicon feedstock for solar cells is made from metallurgical grade silicon by the successive steps of treating the silicon with a calcium-silicate slag, solidifying the treated silicon, leaching the solid silicon with acid, remelting the leached silicon, resolidifying the remelted silicon into an ingot, removing the upper part of the ingot and then crushing and sizing.
