  • Study of Phosphorus Behaviour in Levitated Silicon-Iron Droplets
    STUDY OF PHOSPHORUS BEHAVIOUR IN LEVITATED SILICON-IRON DROPLETS by Katherine Le A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Katherine Le 2016 ii Study of Phosphorus Behaviour in Levitated Si-Fe Droplets Katherine Le Master of Applied Science Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Toronto 2016 Abstract While the treatment of relatively inexpensive ferrosilicon alloys is a potential refining route in order to generate solar grade silicon, phosphorus is one of the more difficult impurities to remove by conventional processing. In this project, electromagnetic levitation was used to investigate the dephosphorization of ferrosilicon alloy droplets exposed to H2-Ar gas mixtures under various experimental conditions including, refining time, temperature (1450°C-1720°C), H2-Ar gas concentrations and flow rate, iron alloying content, and initial phosphorus concentration. Reaction rates increased with higher refining times, temperatures, and H2 gas concentrations. With unknown parameters associated with the kinetics of gas phase reactions, the approach involved comparison of apparent activation energies derived for the chemical reaction and gas diffusion steps of the dephosphorization process. The phosphorus removal rate is thought to be controlled by the interfacial reaction step; further work is required to confirm this conclusion. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude and respect to my supervisor, Prof. Alex McLean for the opportunity to work on this research. I am thankful for his guidance, wisdom and encouragement throughout the course of my studies. He is a truly inspiring person, and a great enabler of new learning opportunities.

Received: December 3, 2014 Accepted: December 9, 2014 Online Published: May 30, 2015 doi:10.5539/mas.v9n6p160 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/mas.v9n6p160 Abstract This article contains the research results of thermodynamic modelling of the chemical interaction of iron phosphides (Fe3P, Fe 2P, FeP and FeP2) with ferrosilicon FeSi2. The results were received by a method of the full thermodynamic analysis using the program HSC-5.1 of the Finnish metallurgical company Outokumpu, which was developed on a principle of the Gibbs energy minimization. The article considers the experimental results concerning to kinetics of the phosphorus extraction from electrothermal ferrophosphorus using ferrosilicon of a grade FS65. In addition, optimum technological parameters of the phosphorus extraction from the industrial ferrophosphorus, containing 26,4 % of phosphorus, and manufacture of a ferroalloy were determined. Keywords: iron phosphides, ferrophosphorus, iron silicides, thermodynamic modelling, kinetics, ferrosilicon, phosphorus 1. Introduction At the electrothermal production of yellow phosphorus from a phosphorite, quartzite and coke mixture, 1 ton of the phosphorus produced gives to 300 kg of a by-product – ferrophosphorus (1). The basic consumer of ferrophosphorus is the ferrous metallurgy, in which ferrophosphorus is used for melting of alloyed phosphorus-containing steels (for example, automatic steels), and iron casting.

Phosphorus is a crucial element for life, but the natural phosphorus cycle has been perturbed to such an extent that humanity faces two dovetailing problems: the dwindling supply of phosphate rock as a resource, and the overabundance of phosphate in water systems leading to eutrophication.
