Problems solved by technology

However, the methods described here are always limited to the separation of specific feed streams known in advance.
However, photoelectric separation of polysilicon fragments is problematic if there is a large amount of fine-grained components (more than 1% by weight of fragments smaller than 20 mm) in the feed, since the image recognition of larger fragments is thereby significantly disturbed
It is therefore not possible to flexibly separate the various feed materials with high precision into further particle groups, e.g. according to length and / or area, using known devices
Furthermore, adjustment methods to obtain more accurate grading results are not described

Embodiment 1

[0062] Polysilicon is deposited in rod form by the Siemens method. The sticks were removed from the Siemens reactor and broken into coarse polysilicon fragments according to methods known in the art (for example by hand crushing). These coarse-grained chips, with a side length of 0 to 250 mm, are discharged by means of a feed device, preferably a hopper, onto a chute which conveys the material to the device according to the invention.

[0063] The parameters of the granule group to be prepared are input to a superordinate measuring and control device. Since the respective desired particle size distributions in the different particle groups are predetermined by the respective further use of the fragments to be prepared, this particle group is usually stored as a formula in a superordinate measuring and control device and correspondingly choose. In this example, the device was used to prepare 6 different particle sets (FSO, FS1, FS2, FS3, FS4 and FS5). All parameters of the o...

Embodiment 2

[0071]The software parameters in terms of the separation limit of the individual fractions were changed slightly to stabilize the desired yield. In the formula used to control the photoelectric separation system, the maximum or minimum fragment length value allowed in each particle group varies by several millimeters (see FIG. 3 ). Thus, the blown separation limit varied from 27mm to 31mm between FS2 and FS3, and from 55mm to 57mm between FS3 and FS4. This process parameter variation of only a few millimeters is already evident in the product properties (e.g. length distribution), i.e. the separation limit between the individual particle groups can be flexibly adjusted to the respective specification with high precision by simple formula selection, Or it can be considered within the scope of online adjustment to achieve the desired theoretical value.

Embodiment 3

[0073] Polycrystalline fragments of different particle size distributions are classified by means of the device according to the invention.

[0074] a) Classify polycrystalline fragments with a main grain size larger than 100 mm into 6 grain groups (eg FS0 to FS5). The fine fraction (less than 12 mm, ie FS0+FS1) is first separated from the coarse fraction by means of a mechanical sieve. The separated fractions are further separated into fractions FS0 and FS1 by a subsequent second mechanical sieve. The coarse-grained components (≥FS2) are sent to the photoelectric classification system, and are separated into larger (≥FS4) and smaller (≤FS3) particles in the first separation stage (module 1, the first tree plane) group (separation limit FS3 / FS4 between ~50 and 70 mm). In the second tree plane, these two grain groups are sent to another separation stage (module 2 and module 3), and are separated into two grain groups in turn (separation limit FS2 / FS3 is about 25 to 45mm, whil...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device which allows fragmented polycrystalline silicon to be classified in a flexible manner. Said device is characterized in that the same comprises a mechanical sifting system and an optoelectronic sorting system. The polyfragment is separated into a fine silicon portion and a residual silicon portion by means of the mechanical sifting system while the residual silicon portion is separated into additional fractions via the optoelectronic sorting system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for flexible grading of polysilicon chips. Background technique [0002] High-purity silicon is produced by chemical vapor deposition of high-purity chlorosilane gases onto a heated substrate. This method produces polysilicon in the form of rods. The stick has to be crushed for other uses, for example using jaw crushers, roll crushers, hammers or chisels made of metal as crushing tools. The polycrystalline silicon fragments thus obtained, hereinafter referred to as polycrystalline fragments, are subsequently classified according to defined fragment sizes. [0003] Various mechanical sieving methods for fractionating polycrystalline fragments are known, for example, from EP 1 391 252 A1, US 6,874,713 B2, EP 1 338 682 A2 or EP 1553 214 A2. Furthermore, EP 1 043 249 B1 discloses a vibrating conveyor with a classifying device. Due to their mechanical principle of function, such sieving systems on...
