The invention discloses a method for cleaning circulation
tailings generated in the polycrystalline-
silicon ingot-
casting half-melting technology, and relates to the solar
silicon material cleaning technology. The method includes the following steps that a, impurities with which the surfaces of the
tailings are covered are cleanly removed with
compressed air; b, soaking is carried out with cleaning liquid, wherein
hydrofluoric acid,
hydrogen peroxide and pure water are prepared into the cleaning liquid; c, after impurities in tailing gaps are cleaned and removed, the surface covered substances are washed down with pure water; d, cleaning is carried out with acid mixed liquid, wherein
nitric acid and electronic-grade
hydrofluoric acid are prepared into the acid mixed liquid, acid cleaning is carried out, and then rinsing is carried out with pure water; e, ultrasonic cleaning is carried out, wherein
dirt in the surfaces,
dirt in
silicon material gaps and acid liquid residues are cleaned and removed, and clean
tailings are obtained. The method has the advantages that according to preparing of different kinds of acid liquid and multiple-time cleaning, waste
cutting liquid and impurities generated in the on-line
cutting process in the circulation tailing gaps in the
ingot-
casting half-melting technology are thoroughly removed, the
quality level of the half-melting tailings is improved, the
ingot-
casting production cost is reduced, the furnace putting quantities of the circulation materials are increased accordingly, and the aims of reducing the cost and improving the efficiency are achieved.
