Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of polysilicon production, and particularly to a slag discharging method and its application in the polysilicon production process. Background Art

[0002] In the process of producing polysilicon by the improved Siemens method, the need for slag discharging is inevitable. This is mainly because after the metallurgical grade silicon (99% purity) undergoes the cold hydro - chlorination reaction, about 30% of the elemental silicon is converted into chlorosilane products, and at the same time, some by - products are generated, such as high - boiling substances like hexachloro - disilane and hexachloro - disiloxane. The remaining silicon powder and metal impurities need to formulate a slag discharging strategy to remove the silicon powder and metal impurities whose activity and particle size do not meet the requirements from the system, so as to ensure the quality requirements of the terminal polysilicon product.

[0003] In the existing slag discharging process of producing polysilicon by the improved Siemens method, it is mainly achieved through a large number of cyclone separators for slag discharging and slurry slag discharging, and combined with technical means such as adsorption, rectification, or chemical complexation separately set in each section. For example, in a general production process, cyclone separators are installed inside the fluidized bed in the cold hydro - chlorination section. Mainly, part of the silicon powder with large particle size is returned to the fluidized bed to achieve the efficient utilization of silicon powder. At the same time, cyclone separators are set in the part of the fluidized bed synthesis gas heat recovery. The silicon powder not captured by the cyclone separators will be removed through wet spray dust removal in the subsequent quench tower and sent to the slurry section from the bottom of the quench tower as slurry for chlorosilane recovery and impurity discharge. The waste silicon powder generated in other sections will also be discharged from the system continuously or intermittently, including the outer - rotating silicon powder, slurry silicon powder, maintenance silicon powder, and slag - discharging silicon powder in the chlor - alkali synthesis system, tail - gas silicon powder in the tail - gas system, reduction silicon powder in the reduction system, etc. A large amount of metal impurities mainly composed of iron, aluminum, and calcium are carried in the above - mentioned slag - discharging silicon powder.

[0004] Therefore, in order to avoid the cyclic accumulation of metal impurities during the production process and ensure the stable operation of the production device, a special slag - discharging plan needs to be formulated before starting up. However, the current slag - discharging plan cannot cope with the problems of unstable production process and poor final product quality caused by fluctuations in the silicon powder raw materials. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems that the existing slag - discharging plan cannot cope with the unstable production process and poor final product quality caused by fluctuations in the silicon powder raw materials, and to provide a slag - discharging method for the polysilicon production process, which can ensure the stability of the polysilicon production process and the better quality of the final product.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, on the one hand, the present invention provides a slag - discharging method for the polysilicon production process, which includes: performing slag - discharging treatment on the polysilicon production slurry to obtain slag - discharging silicon powder; the slag - discharging amount Y of the slag - discharging treatment is determined according to formula (1);

[0010] In addition, the mass O of metal impurities in the outer-rotating silicon powder is determined according to Equation (2);

[0011] Equation (2): O = c×10 d P 2 +eP - f;

[0012] Among them, P is the mass of the discharged outer-rotating silicon powder, and the unit is Kg / time; c is any value in the range of -3.0 to 1.0, d is any value in the range of -7 to -4, e is any value in the range of 0.005 - 0.200, and f is any value in the range of 1 - 90.

[0013] The second aspect of the present invention provides the application of the slag discharging method of the polysilicon production process described in the first aspect of the present invention in the field of polysilicon production.

[0014] Through the above technical solutions, it is possible to achieve refined production of polysilicon, cope with the incoming material fluctuations that may occur during the production process and the changes in the quality requirements of end products, and ensure the quality of polysilicon products and the stable operation of the overall production.
