Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of embodiments. Furthermore, in the description of this application, the term "comprising" means "including but not limited to". Various embodiments of the present invention may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of the invention; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within that range. For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges, such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single digits within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, regardless of the range. Additionally, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range.

[0051] This application provides a method for extracting elemental silicon powder from waste organosilicon catalysts. The core of this method lies in first determining the actual particle size distribution range of silica in the waste organosilicon catalysts (e.g., 400-550 mesh, 500-600 mesh, 600-700 mesh, etc.) through sieving combined with XRD and chemical analysis. Based on the silica particle size distribution, the waste organosilicon catalysts are subjected to three-stage airflow separation. The three-stage airflow separation parameters are adjusted accordingly to achieve precise separation and obtain silicon powder. The specific steps include:

[0052] S1. Determine the particle size distribution of silica in the organosilicon waste catalyst;

[0053] S2. Based on the particle size distribution of silica, the organosilicon waste catalyst is subjected to three-stage airflow separation to obtain silicon powder;

[0054] If the particle size distribution of silica is between 500 and 600 mesh, then the three-stage gas flow separation specifically includes:

[0055] Waste organosilicon catalysts were placed in a primary air classifier, and the process parameters were controlled to separate products of 50-500 mesh. The process parameters controlled by the primary air classifier were: airflow rate of 1500-1600 m³ / h. 3 / h, rotation speed 1000~1100r / min;

[0056] The organosilicon waste catalyst, after separating the 50-500 mesh product, was placed in a two-stage air classifier. Under controlled process parameters, a 500-600 mesh product was obtained. The controlled process parameters for the two-stage air classifier were: airflow rate of 1100-1200 m³ / h. 3 / h, rotation speed 1800~1900 r / min;

[0057] The organosilicon waste catalyst, after separating the 500-600 mesh product, was placed in a three-stage air classifier. Under controlled process parameters, products with a mesh size of 600 mesh or larger were obtained. The controlled process parameters for the three-stage air classifier were: airflow rate of 800-1000 m³ / h. 3 / h, rotation speed is 2500~2600r / min.

[0058] This invention relates to a method for extracting elemental silicon powder from waste organosilicon catalysts. Due to the significant difference in particle size distribution between elemental silicon and silica in the waste organosilicon catalysts, this method utilizes this characteristic. It achieves precise separation based on particle size through the dynamic balance between the high-speed rotating centrifugal force field generated by an airflow classifier and the centripetal force of the airflow. Specifically, for silica with a particle size distribution of 500-600 mesh (i.e., 21.17-25.40 μm), a primary airflow separation is performed, and process parameters are controlled.

[0059] The process involves separating products of 50-500 mesh (i.e., 25.40-296.94μm) (most of which are silicon powder), then separating the remaining material through a two-stage airflow separation process with controlled process parameters to separate products of 500-600 mesh (most of which are silicon dioxide). The remaining material is then separated again through a three-stage airflow separation process with controlled process parameters to separate products of 600 mesh and above (most of which are silicon powder). By adjusting the speed of the classifier wheel and optimizing the airflow parameters, efficient separation of materials of different particle sizes can be achieved, significantly improving the purity of elemental silicon.

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, primary separation: The material is fed into the multi-rotor primary air classifier 11 via the vacuum feeder 10, with the classifier wheel speed set to 1000~1100 r / min and the air flow rate to 1500~1600 m³ / min. 3At 10:00 AM, under centrifugal force, 50-500 mesh elemental silicon particles, due to their larger particle size, experience a centrifugal force greater than the centripetal force of the airflow, falling along the cylinder wall and exiting from the primary discharge port as the first-stage product. Secondary separation (500-600 mesh mixture separation): Fine particles that did not settle after primary separation enter the secondary classification zone. The rotation speed of the 12 classifying wheel in the secondary air classifier is adjusted to 1800-1900 r / min, and the airflow rate is 1100-1200 m³ / min. 3 / h, increasing the centrifugal force field intensity, separates the 500-600 mesh elemental silicon and silica mixed particles, which are discharged from the secondary discharge port and can be returned to the pretreatment process for re-crushing and classification, improving resource utilization; Tertiary separation (separation of high-purity elemental silicon above 600 mesh): The fine particles above 600 mesh remaining after the secondary classification enter the tertiary classification zone. The speed of the 13 classifying wheel of the secondary air classifier is set to 2500-2600 r / min, and the air flow rate is 800-1000 m³ / min. 3 / h; High-purity elemental silicon particles, due to their small size, pass through the gaps between the classifying blades with the airflow and are collected in a pulse dust collector as the third-stage product (elemental silicon purity 85%~90%). The dust-laden gas generated during the classification process is filtered and purified by the dust collector before being discharged, meeting environmental protection standards; the three-stage classification products are dried (temperature 60~80℃, time 2~4h) to remove moisture.
