Abstract
Slag treatment is one of the pyrometallurgical routes to refine and remove impurities (such as boron) from silicon. Many studies have demonstrated that the rate-controlling step in the process is the mass transfer of boron (B) in the slag phase. Hence, information regarding the B diffusivity is vital. This paper discusses the diffusivity of B in the slag from secondary data collated from previous kinetics studies and compares it with semi-empirical diffusivity equations.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy is dedicated to presenting metallurgical processes and related research aimed at improving the sustainability of metal-producing industries, with a particular emphasis on materials recovery, reuse, and recycling. Its editorial scope encompasses new techniques, as well as optimization of existing processes, including utilization, treatment, and management of metallurgically generated residues. Articles on non-technical barriers and drivers that can affect sustainability will also be considered.
