Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS
(1) The double extreme case analysis (DECA) method is proposed, which quantitatively evaluates gas-liquid inclusions by analysing the ratio of transparent (T) to non-transparent (NT) particles through microscopic image analysis.

(2) The use of reagent soaking and microscopic image statistical methods enables the coloration of inclusions, addressing the challenges of detecting gas-liquid inclusions in high-purity quartz.

(3) The quality of quartz sand crucibles under DECA detection method is studied: quartz sand crucibles with a high T ratio exhibit excellent transparency, whereas those with a high NT ratio display poor transparency.

ABSTRACT

High-purity quartz sand serves as a critical material in various strategic emerging industries, such as semiconductors and photovoltaics. The quality of quartz sand is crucial for the application of products like single crystal silicon crucibles and quartz tubes. Besides impurity elements, gas-liquid inclusions are a significant factor affecting quartz quality. However, current detection methods for gas-liquid inclusions are mainly qualitative, lacking efficient and precise quantitative analysis techniques. The double extreme case analysis (DECA) method is innovatively proposed here to quantitatively assess the content of gas-liquid inclusions. The process involves quartz sand slices treated with reagent and put under a microscope for observation and photographing, obtaining at least 300 images of quartz particles where the quartz appears transparent and the inclusions appear black. By statistically analyzing the images, the ratio of transparent (T) to non-transparent (NT) particles is calculated to evaluate quartz quality. The crucible study of different quartz sands using DECA shows that quartz sand with a high T ratio and low NT ratio produces crucibles of excellent transparency, while quartz sand with a low T ratio and high NT ratio results in poor transparency. This method effectively addresses the challenge of quantitative gas-liquid inclusion detection and provides a reliable basis for evaluating high-purity quartz sand quality.
