Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent belongs to the field of industrial silicon production technology, specifically relating to a method for calculating the quality of industrial silicon smelting products. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial silicon is a product smelted from silicon ore and carbonaceous reducing agents in a submerged arc furnace. Its main component, silicon, contains over 99% silicon, with the remaining impurities being iron, aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, titanium, boron, etc. Industrial silicon production involves using silicon ore as raw material and carbon materials as reducing agents in a submerged arc furnace to obtain industrial silicon products. These products mainly include organosilicon, polycrystalline silicon, and metallurgical silicon.
[0003] Patent application number 202311250090.5 discloses a method for guiding the batching of industrial silicon production. Specifically, it discloses a method for forward calculation of the theoretical chemical composition of the industrial silicon product based on the chemical composition and proportions of the raw materials, as well as the empirical consumption values of each raw material. The method also calculates the actual consumption values. Then, it compares the theoretical chemical composition of the industrial silicon product with the chemical composition of the actually produced industrial silicon product, thereby guiding adjustments to the raw material composition and proportions for industrial silicon production. Using the adjusted raw material composition and proportions and the actual consumption values, the method again forward calculates the theoretical chemical composition of the industrial silicon product and calculates the actual consumption values. Finally, it compares the theoretical chemical composition of the industrial silicon product with the chemical composition of the actually produced industrial silicon product, thereby guiding adjustments to the raw material composition and proportions for industrial silicon production, forming a closed loop. This method improves the cost-effectiveness of industrial silicon products, significantly increases silicon recovery rates, and is beneficial for the long-term stable operation of the submerged arc furnace.
[0004] However, the above guidance method has the following problems: 1. Industrial silicon smelted in an electric arc furnace needs to be refined to remove impurities before casting and cooling to obtain the product. The chemical composition of the industrial silicon product in the above guidance method does not take into account the influence of refining and impurity removal, so the calculated results are inaccurate and cannot accurately guide the batching of industrial silicon production; 2. In the process of smelting in an electric arc furnace, refining in a silicon ladle, and casting in molds to form the product, the iron materials of the electric arc furnace hood, furnace nozzle, silicon ladle nozzle, etc. are very easy to melt into the silicon water. Therefore, the above guidance method only considers the iron impurities in the raw materials, resulting in inaccurate calculation results and thus failing to accurately guide the batching of industrial silicon production; 3. The above guidance method only calculates the impurities of iron, calcium, and aluminum, and does not consider the impact of the content of impurities such as phosphorus, titanium, and boron in the raw materials on the product, nor does it consider the impact of the explosion resistance of various types of silica and the fixed carbon of various carbon materials on the product.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a calculation model that can accurately guide the smelting and production of industrial silicon products. Summary of the Invention
