Abstract

In order to widen the industrial uses of Taghit sand (Bechar) different investigations have been performed to characterize the natural raw material using several techniques. Mineralogical and physic chemical characterizations of the natural raw material indicate that pure Bechar sand can be yield a very interesting for silicon production for photovoltaic application.
