Hyper pure quartz for photovoltaic solar is limited.
- philipkglass 5y agoAre you thinking of purified silicon? Silicon is made starting with quartz, quartzite, or similar minerals rich in silicon dioxide. Crude silicon always requires additional purification for solar uses after it's initially created, so the purity of quartz going into the electric furnace isn't critical. You can see the process flow from raw materials to completed PV modules here: http://oasis.mechse.illinois.edu/me432/ME432_L31_Nov4.pdf http://oasis.mechse.illinois.edu/me432/ME432_L31_Nov4.pdf
- sudosysgen 5y agoNo, I'm talking of high purity silicon necessary for the crucibles used to manufacture polysilicon wafers suitable for PV solar panels.
