It was found that a particle size less than 0.1 mm was most effective for acid leaching; the extraction yield of impurities was increased by 9% with HF leaching compared with HCl leaching and HNO3 leaching, and increased by 7% with ultrasonic stirring compared with mechanical stirring. The principle of hydrometallurgical purification of metallurgical grade silicon under ultrasonic fields was also discussed.展开更多
