[0002] Polysilicon is the most important basic material for the electronic information industry and the solar photovoltaic power generation industry. The existing polysilicon production process for large-scale industrial production is mainly the silane thermal decomposition method; the silane thermal decomposition method is a process of reducing silicon hydride with hydrogen, decomposing silicon hydride into silane, and then cracking it under high temperature conditions to obtain polysilicon.

[0003] The silane thermal decomposition method has many advantages.

[0027] In this embodiment, after the polysilicon production exhaust gas is filtered (the filtered polysilicon production exhaust gas includes silane gas, hydrogen and a trace amount of methane), it is transported to the liquefied storage device 1 through the exhaust gas delivery pipe 11, and first passes through the third heat exchanger 12 to cool it to about -155°C; then passes through the fourth heat exchanger 13 to cool it to about -170°C, and then the liquefied mixed liquid is stored in the storage tank 14; the mixed liquid in the storage tank 14 is transported to the first heat exchanger 2, and the mixed liquid is vaporized by the heat medium of the first heat exchanger 2; then the vaporized mixed gas enters the second heat exchanger 3.
