Most industries today have waste or side streams that are deposited or sold as bi-products. Industries that are cutting and grinding silicon metal, such as the photovoltaic and semi-conductor industry, are depositing valuable metal powder materials. ReSiTec has worked on research projects for several years and developed new technology for recycling and purification of valuable metal powders. The focus has been silicon metal powder from cutting and grinding production. The process has been developed to collect fine particles, with a size range of 0–150 μm, from highly diluted waste water. Furthermore, known separation and classification techniques for metal powder processing have been adapted with the purpose of purifying and upgrading silicon metal powder from waste to new products. The tests performed were successful and the results showed an increase in purity level from 50% to >99% metallic silicon and an acceptable yield. It is believed that this new technology can be suitable for similar types of industrial metal powder waste streams. Today, ReSiTec is supporting the process industry with R&D services and is producing more than 500 tons per year of recycled, high-purity silicon metal powder.
