Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor technology, and specifically relates to a system and method for recycling waste gas and waste liquid in crystalline silicon pickling. Background Art

[0002] The main preparation process of crystalline silicon can be roughly divided into hydrogenation, distillation, reduction, crushing and pickling. Pickling mainly involves etching the silicon surface by mixing a certain ratio of nitric acid (nitric acid content is the main component) and hydrofluoric acid to reduce the surface impurity content of silicon.

[0003] The impurity content in the pickling solution gradually increases with the increase in the number of pickling times. Therefore, after a certain number of pickling times, the quality of the crystalline silicon after pickling cannot reach the level required by the enterprise, so the pickling solution needs to be replaced. The replaced pickling solution belongs to hazardous waste liquid and needs to be treated as hazardous waste. If the waste liquid after pickling is treated as hazardous waste, not only will the cost of hazardous waste disposal be high, but a large amount of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid will be directly wasted. Therefore, the recycling process of waste gas and waste liquid in crystalline silicon pickling needs to be studied. Summary of the invention

[0050] The second aspect of the present application proposes a method for recycling waste gas and waste liquid in crystalline silicon pickling, comprising:

[0051] S1: Provide waste gas and waste liquid from crystalline silicon pickling, the waste gas contains NO 2 and NO, the waste liquid contains HNO 3 , HF, H 2 SiF 6 , water, metal impurities.

[0052] Among them, crystalline silicon can be either single crystal silicon or polycrystalline silicon. The principle of etching silicon with pickling solution is: nitric acid reacts with crystalline silicon to form silicon dioxide, and silicon dioxide reacts with hydrofluoric acid to form fluorosilicic acid. The overall chemical reaction equation is: 2HNO 3 +Si+6HF=H 2 SiF 6 +3H 2 O+NO 2 +NO. The main reason why pickling waste liquid cannot be used is the high content of water, metal impurities and fluorosilicic acid. The present application can achieve effective recovery and reuse of waste liquid by reducing the content of water, metal impurities and fluorosilicic acid in the waste liquid, thereby reducing the cost of hazardous waste treatment and improving resource utilization efficiency.

NO 2 HNO is formed by spraying 3 and NO. The specific chemical reaction equation is as follows: 2 O+NO 2 =HNO 3 +NO, the generated NO enters the photochemical reaction device to continue to form NO 2 This operation not only keeps the nitrogen content in the pickling process unchanged, but also increases the HNO 3 content, convenient for subsequent operations.

[0061] S5: Separating HNO from the third mixed liquid 3 , HF, water, to obtain HNO 3 , a fourth mixed liquid of HF and water, and a fifth mixed liquid containing metal impurities.

[0062] In some embodiments, the HNO in the third mixed liquid is separated 3 , HF and water are removed by a second distillation, and the distillation temperature of the second distillation is 60°C to 85°C, for example, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C or 85°C.

[0063] It can be understood that the third mixed liquid in the bottom of the first distillation unit enters the second distillation unit through the third delivery pump, is first heated by the second reboiler, and the top gas is condensed by the second condenser to form HNO 3 , HF, water, and then enter the product tank through the fourth delivery pump.

The metal impurities include B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, P, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and other elements, which exist in the form of ions.

[0064] The above-mentioned recycling method of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0065] (1) The effective recycling of waste gas and waste liquid from pickling is achieved, and the impurity content is reduced to the pptw level, which reduces the purchase cost of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid and significantly reduces the pickling cost of the enterprise;

[0066] (2) Reduce the cost of hazardous waste disposal of waste acid liquid.

[0067] In some embodiments, the H in the first mixed liquid is separated 2 SiF 6and water, further comprising separating H 2 SiF 6 For example, it can be carried out through a fluorosilicic acid adsorption device, and the adsorbed fluorosilicic acid has high purity and can be used as a raw material for producing white carbon black and hydrofluoric acid. This is conducive to improving the recovery efficiency.
