Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chlorosilane separation, and in particular relates to a partition coupling process for reducing, recovering, separating and purifying chlorosilane. Background Art

[0002] Polysilicon is the basic raw material for the photovoltaic industry and the semiconductor industry. At present, the main production process of polysilicon is the modified Siemens process. First, metallurgical silicon is reacted with hydrogen chloride to synthesize crude trichlorosilane, and then the crude trichlorosilane is distilled and purified to obtain high-purity trichlorosilane. Then, the high-purity trichlorosilane is converted into high-purity polysilicon through reduction reaction and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The tail gas generated after reduction is dry-recovered, and the recovered hydrogen is returned to the reduction process. The recovered liquid chlorosilane is sent to the distillation device for component separation of chlorosilane. The separated high-purity trichlorosilane is returned to the reduction process, and silicon tetrachloride is sent to the cold hydrogenation process to prepare trichlorosilane. Dichlorodihydrosilane reacts with silicon tetrachloride to produce trichlorosilane and is also sent to the distillation process. The modified Siemens process realizes the closed-loop recycling of hydrogen and chlorosilane, and has the advantages of maturity, good safety performance, and easy expansion.

[0003] During the hydrogen reduction of trichlorosilane, the conversion rate of trichlorosilane is only about 10%, resulting in a large amount of unreacted trichlorosilane in the reduction tail gas, and the recovery process is bound to require a lot of energy consumption. At the same time, in addition to the by-products of silicon tetrachloride and dichlorosilane, the reduction reaction process will also produce polychlorosilanes such as hexachlorodisilane with a higher boiling point than silicon tetrachloride, as well as light impurities with a lower boiling point than dichlorosilane and heavy impurities with a boiling point between trichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride. Therefore, the separation and purification process of the reduction recovery of chlorosilane is very important and is related to the quality of polysilicon products.

[0004] Patent CN105366681B discloses a method and device for treating chlorosilane recovered from the reduction production of polysilicon, and a method and system for treating chlorosilane in the production of polysilicon, which includes three distillation towers and ancillary equipment connected together. The device can only perform simple component separation and does not refine the product, resulting in a very low purity product that cannot meet the market's increasingly high quality requirements for polysilicon.

[0005] Patent CN209411790U discloses a distillation energy-saving device for purifying reduced chlorosilane, which adopts a distillation process consisting of three distillation towers, two of which are in a series structure. However, the process is very complicated, and the separated silicon tetrachloride does not remove high boiling substances, and the trichlorosilane product does not remove light and heavy impurities, resulting in low purity of the separated and recovered products, and has no application value. Summary of the invention
