The paper presents research results of vacuum refining of silicon melt in the conditions of magnetohydrodynamic stirring. The results of silicon purification dynamics from impurities with high saturated vapor pressure at the temperature above the melting point of silicon are presented (for example, P, Zn, Na, Mg, Ca, Al, Cu). The influence of stirring speed on the rate of silicon purification is determined. Basic regularities and factors that limit the rate of cleaning are shown. The studies were carried out by mathematical modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics programs.
Key words: mathematical modeling, refining, silicon, magnetohydrodynamic stirring.
