Picking up where my first post 6N Silicon: Solar Grade Silicon from Ontario left off, a new 6N Silicon Corporate Presentation details key Milestones In Process (slide 9) for 2008 as shown in the image above.

Since my last search, a 6N Silicon international patent has been published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO):

(WO/2007/112592) METHOD FOR PURIFYING SILICON

The present invention provides for methods of purifying silicon, methods for obtaining purified silicon, as well as methods for obtaining purified silicon crystals, purified granulized silicon and/or purified silicon ingots.

Analysis of 6N Silicon’s process will have to wait for a future post.
