Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of polysilicon production, and in particular relates to a system and method for removing carbon impurities from chlorosilane. Background Art

[0002] The chlorosilane decarbonization process is a method for decarbonizing chlorosilane in polysilicon production. At present, the production of polysilicon mainly adopts the trichlorosilane reduction method. The trichlorosilane synthesis of this method uses industrial silicon powder, H2, hydrogen chloride and silicon tetrachloride as raw materials. Under the action of the catalyst in the hydrogenation furnace, a reaction occurs to produce trichlorosilane. In this process, carbon-containing impurities such as methyldichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, and dimethylchlorosilane will be produced. These carbon-containing impurities will be deposited in the silicon element, affecting the carbon index in the polysilicon to exceed the standard, and need to be separated before the trichlorosilane reduction reaction. The trichlorosilane purification process uses a distillation separation process, which uses the difference in boiling points between different substances for separation. Since the boiling point of methyldichlorosilane is 41°C, which is close to the boiling point of trichlorosilane (32°C), in order to reduce the content of methyldichlorosilane, a distillation tower with a high theoretical plate number and reflux ratio is required, resulting in high investment and operating costs for the distillation device. With the continuous development of science and technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the manufacturing process of chlorosilane decarbonization process.

[0003] The existing chlorosilane decarbonization process has certain drawbacks when used. The reactive distillation tower has safety issues such as the need to stop and overhaul when replacing the catalyst. The raw materials need to be pretreated before entering the reactor, and the decarbonization conversion rate is incomplete. The treated silicon tetrachloride and monomethyltrichlorosilane need to be further separated downstream. Patent CN109179426A proposes a method for reactive decarbonization, in which pretreated silicon tetrachloride and carbon-containing trichlorosilane are sent to a reactive distillation tower for chlorine atom redistribution reaction, and through the separation effect of reactive distillation, the reaction product trichlorosilane is extracted from the top of the tower, and the excess silicon tetrachloride and the generated methyltrichlorosilane are extracted from the bottom of the tower. This invention converts methyldichlorosilane, which is difficult to separate from trichlorosilane, into methyltrichlorosilane that is easy to separate by converting the reactive carbon, thereby achieving the decarbonization function of trichlorosilane. However, this reactive distillation technology requires the tower to be shut down when the catalyst in the tower fails and needs to be replaced, which affects the production stability of the system and brings safety risks. Excess silicon tetrachloride and monomethyltrichlorosilane are extracted from the bottom of the tower and need to be separated downstream, which places a burden on downstream separation. To prevent catalyst poisoning, a treatment device must be installed before entering the tower, making the decarbonization system more complicated.

[0004] Patent CN110980742A proposes a reactive decarbonization method that extracts unreacted chlorine donors through a side stream and returns them to the column for further reaction, allowing monomethyldichlorosilane to be extracted from the column bottom. This fully utilizes the chlorine donors, but it still presents a series of problems caused by replacing the reactive distillation catalyst after it expires. Furthermore, it is difficult to completely separate the chlorine donors from monomethyldichlorosilane in the side stream. Patent CN114956092A proposes a method for decarbonizing trichlorosilane. Carbon-containing trichlorosilane reacts with a resin catalyst, and the resulting materials are distilled and separated, yielding silicon tetrachloride and monomethyltrichlorosilane at the bottom. This process does not completely convert monomethyldichlorosilane, and the subsequent separation of silicon tetrachloride and monomethyltrichlorosilane is also incomplete. Patent CN 212740754 U proposes a trichlorosilane decarbonization reaction and distillation method, including a reactive distillation tower and a series of distillation towers. To improve the decarbonization conversion rate, multiple reactive distillation towers are set up in series or parallel, further increasing the complexity of the reactive distillation. We have proposed a process for decarbonizing chlorosilane in polysilicon production. Summary of the Invention
