3. Process for s-Si Production • Every process must start from stage I and end up at stage IX • Goal: to find the process that minimizes the purification cost while also limiting the cost from buying the ore

4. Stage Process Factors • This is a graph shows the different stages’ cost and percent reduction of the impurities • Reducing impurity of Boron and aluminum is much easier

5. Stage Process Factors Inexpensive sources produce silica with a low amount of phosphorus As seen in a previous slide the phosphorus is expensive to reduce the impurities

6. Stage Process Factors Possible Processes I II III IV IX I II IV IX 1) 2)

7. Processes Data Sources Feldspar Corp. Norwegian Quartz 1 Process 1 $18.53 per kg of s-SI Process 2 $18.02 per kg of s-SI Process 1 was Chosen

8. Sources Issues Feldspar Corp. Owned by Norwegian Quartz 1 Mine is shared with Unimum Based in North Carolina Produces a significant amount of waste that needs to be taken care of • Norwegian Quartz 1 • No limit to how much can be produced • Government provides funding for research in mine • China’s request for silicon increasing
