An object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a large
amount of inexpensive high purity silicon useful for a solar battery.
Disclosed is a method for producing high purity silicon by migrating
impurities in silicon to slag including performing a first slag
purification of a first silicon, separating the slag from the first
silicon after finishing the first slag purification, and feeding the
separated slag to a second molten silicon in a second purification of the
second silicon, wherein purity of said second silicon prior to
purification is lower than purity of the first silicon after
purification.
