Description

[0029] The following will describe the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model discloses a silicon powder detection device, which includes a housing 1. A detachable top cover is provided at the top of the housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a heat-receiving bottle 6, a chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, a first tail gas inspection bottle 16, and a second tail gas inspection bottle 17 are sequentially arranged.

[0031] Inside the housing 1 at the bottom of the heat-receiving bottle 6, there is a partition 2 which is made of heat-insulating material and has the function of heat insulation. On the partition 2, there is a heating seat 3. At the top of the heating seat 3, there is a seat groove 4. At the bottom of the seat groove 4, there is a heating plate 5. The heat-receiving bottle 6 is arranged in the seat groove 4.

[0032] Inside the top bottle mouths of the heat-receiving bottle 6, the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17, there are bottle stoppers 7. Inside the bottle stoppers 7, there are air inlet pipes 8 and air outlet pipes 9. The bottom end of the air inlet pipe 8 extends vertically downward to the lower part inside the bottle body where the bottle stopper 7 is located. The bottom end of the air outlet pipe 9 is at the bottom of the bottle stopper 7.

[0033] The air inlet pipe 8 on the bottle stopper 7 of the heat-receiving bottle 6 passes through the side wall of the housing 1. A first valve 10 is arranged on the air inlet pipe 8 and is located outside the housing 1. The air outlet pipe 9 on the bottle stopper 7 of the heat-receiving bottle 6 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 8 on the bottle stopper 7 of the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 through a pipeline.

[0034] The air outlet pipe 9 on the bottle stopper 7 of the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 8 on the bottle stopper 7 of the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 through a pipeline. The air outlet pipe 9 on the bottle stopper 7 of the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 is communicated with the air inlet pipe 8 on the bottle stopper 7 of the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 through a pipeline. The air outlet pipe 9 on the bottle stopper 7 of the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 extends outside the housing 1.

[0035] On the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17, there are liquid inlet pipes 13 and liquid discharge pipes 14. The liquid inlet pipes 13 are communicated with the top of the bottle body below the bottle stopper 7. The liquid discharge pipes 14 are communicated with the bottom of the bottle body. Both the liquid inlet pipes 13 and the liquid discharge pipes 14 extend outside the housing 1. A second valve 11 is arranged on the liquid inlet pipe 13 outside the housing 1. A third valve 12 is arranged on the liquid discharge pipe 14 outside the housing 1. Both the liquid inlet pipes 13 and the liquid discharge pipes 14 are inclined. The lower end of the liquid inlet pipe 13 is communicated with the bottle body. The higher end of the liquid discharge pipe 14 is communicated with the bottle body.

[0036] Inside the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, there is water with a liquid level higher than the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 8 inside it. Inside the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17, there is a neutral indicator with a liquid level higher than the bottom end of the air inlet pipe 8 inside it. The neutral indicator can be bromothymol blue indicator.

[0037] Before the silicon powder is detected, water is injected into the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 through the liquid inlet pipe 13 to submerge the bottom end of the gas inlet pipe 8. A neutral indicator is injected into the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 through the liquid inlet pipe 13 to submerge the bottom end of the gas inlet pipe 8. The top cover and the bottle stopper 7 of the heating bottle 6 are opened, and the silicon powder is placed into the heating bottle 6. When the silicon powder is detected, the heating bottle 6 is heated by the heating plate 5, and the heating temperature is 130-140 degrees. The gas inlet pipe 8 of the heating bottle 6 is connected to the gas source of the inert gas and the first valve 10 is opened. The inert gas is introduced into the bottom of the heating bottle 6 to carry away the low-boiling-point chlorosilane evaporated from the silicon powder. The chlorosilane enters the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 with the inert gas for hydrolysis and produces hydrogen chloride. The inert gas then enters the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 in sequence through the pipeline and is output.

[0038] Under normal circumstances, the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 can absorb the chlorosilane completely. The inert gas entering the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 usually does not contain chlorosilane and hydrogen chloride. At this time, the third valve 12 on the drain pipe 14 of the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 is opened, and the solution in the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 is discharged and the hydrogen chloride content is detected, so as to indirectly detect the chlorosilane. The hydrogen chloride content detection can use the titration method, which is the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0039] In a few cases, if the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 changes color and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 does not change color, it means that the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 has not absorbed the chlorosilane completely, and there is chlorosilane or hydrogen chloride entering the first tail gas inspection bottle 16, and the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 absorbs the chlorosilane and hydrogen chloride completely. The absorption liquid in the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 also needs to be included in the calculation. At this time, the solutions in the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15 and the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 need to be combined for titration and calculation.

[0040] In extremely rare cases, both the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 change color. In this case, a small amount of chlorosilane and hydrogen chloride may be output outside the housing 1 with the inert gas. Due to the three-time absorption of the chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17, the amount of chlorosilane and hydrogen chloride output outside the housing 1 is also very small and will not cause damage to the environment and human body. At this time, since it is impossible to judge whether the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 has completely absorbed the remaining chlorosilane and hydrogen chloride, the detection operation fails and the detection needs to be carried out again or the detection device needs to be checked for faults.

[0041] After the detection operation is completed, the heating bottle 6 can be taken out for cleaning. The chlorosilane absorption and hydrolysis bottle 15, the first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and the second tail gas inspection bottle 17 can be cleaned through the liquid inlet pipe 13 and the drain pipe 14, or they can be taken out for cleaning by opening the top cover.

[0042] Chlorosilanes in silicon powder may cause accidents such as fires during transportation and smelting. However, not all chlorosilanes cause accidents. For example, the boiling point of hexachloroethylsilane reaches 144 degrees, which is safe under normal operating conditions. Therefore, for the risk assessment of silicon powder in this utility model, it is only necessary to detect the low-boiling components in chlorosilanes. Thus, the heating temperature is 130 - 140 degrees, and then the chlorosilanes are detected by indirectly detecting the hydrogen chloride after hydrolysis, avoiding the use of a relatively expensive gas chromatograph, with relatively simple operation, simplified detection procedures, and being easier to operate.

[0043] This utility model has a simple structure, low cost, and is portable. It can quickly detect the chlorosilane content in silicon powder, with simple operation and high efficiency. The provided first tail gas inspection bottle 16 and second tail gas inspection bottle 17 can re-absorb the unabsorbed chlorosilanes and hydrogen chloride, improving the safety of the device during use.

[0044] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of this utility model, and do not limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solutions that can be achieved on the basis of the above embodiments without creative labor shall be regarded as falling within the scope of the patent rights of this utility model.
