SIKELOR - Silicon kerf loss recycling

Cramer, A.; Eckert, S.; Lombardi, I.; Dughiero, F.; Forzan, M.; Bojarevics, V.; Pericleous, K.; Kroschk, M.; Steinbach, H.

During slicing silicon block casts to wafers, about 50 % of the valuable material is lost into saw dust. The objective of the EU project SIKELOR is to process such silicon waste in an industrially viable and resource-friendly manner. To be competitive to virgin feedstock, maximum cumulative recycling costs of 10 $/kg are imposed as the economic goal.
