Abstract
Diamond wire saw silicon powder (DWSSP) waste is a highly promising secondary resource for recycling high-purity silicon, which is crucial for the sustainable development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry. However, because DWSSP is prone to oxidation, the purity and yield of the recovered silicon are generally low. In this study, the oxidation mechanism of DWSSP in water was systematically investigated, and kinetics analysis and microstructure analysis were conducted to determine the relationship between water diffusion and the growth of the oxide layer. The results indicated that oxidation was determined by the kinetic parameter b in the Reisman model. At T < 328 K and particle size > 1.56 μm, b was less than 1, indicating that the oxidation process was governed by the diffusion of H2O molecules. Through temperature regulation to achieve b < 1, the oxidation was inhibited, which could enhance recovery efficiency. Overall, this study demonstrated the feasibility of inhibiting oxidation by regulating the viscous flow of SiO2 molecules to promote the recycling of silicon resources and support sustainable development.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
