Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of polysilicon production, and particularly relates to a closed sample preparation device for chlorosilane impurity analysis. Background Art

[0002] In polysilicon production, chlorosilane is a key raw material. By testing and analyzing the impurity content in chlorosilane, the entire production process is monitored to ensure continuous and stable operation, thereby achieving control over product quality. The impurity content in chlorosilane is a major factor affecting the quality of polysilicon products.

[0003] The analysis of impurity elements in chlorosilanes is a trace analysis requiring demanding technical expertise. Furthermore, the sample collection and preparation process are susceptible to contamination. Therefore, reducing or avoiding contamination during sample preparation and optimizing the enrichment of boron, phosphorus, and other metal elements has become a major research challenge.

[0004] Chlorosilane is a chemical that reacts violently with compounds containing active hydrogen and evaporates rapidly in the air. According to literature research, there are a variety of pretreatment methods for chlorosilane samples, with hydrolysis and concentration methods currently being the most commonly used. The hydrolysis method involves first hydrolyzing the chlorosilane, adding acid to dissolve the hydrolyzate, and converting the boron and phosphorus in the sample into boric acid or phosphoric acid. After digestion, the boron and phosphorus content is detected. During sample pretreatment, boron and phosphorus easily evaporate with the chlorosilane, resulting in inaccurate test results and poor test stability. The concentration method involves adding a chelating agent to the sample solution to form a stable complex with the metal ions. However, if a polytetrafluoroethylene tongs is used in an open state during sample processing, the sample is easily contaminated, resulting in poor test results and reproducibility. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the utility model: The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a closed sample preparation device to reduce the risk of contamination of samples to be analyzed in response to the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A closed sample preparation device for chlorosilane impurity analysis comprises a furnace body, a porous heating plate, a digestion tank, and a nitrogen pipeline; the porous heating plate is arranged inside the furnace body, and a group of fixing holes for placing the digestion tank are reserved on the plate surface; one end of the nitrogen pipeline is connected to an external nitrogen gas source through a nitrogen inlet pipe, and the other end is connected to the corresponding digestion tank through a group of manifolds; the digestion tank is provided with an air inlet for connecting to the nitrogen pipeline and a feed port for the sample.

[0008] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed on the porous heating plate through a thread, and the temperature sensor is connected to a control panel outside the furnace body for displaying the temperature inside the furnace body.

[0009] Furthermore, a pressure reducing valve and a nitrogen flow meter are installed on the nitrogen pipeline. The nitrogen flow meter is connected to a control panel outside the furnace body and is used to monitor the real-time flow of nitrogen in the nitrogen pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the control panel is also provided with a power indicator light, a power switch and a temperature control display screen.

[0011] Furthermore, the furnace body is formed by CNC precision processing of aluminum plates and is entirely coated with a high-temperature resistant PVDF coating.

[0012] Furthermore, a furnace door that can be opened and closed is provided on one side of the furnace body, and the furnace door is connected to the furnace body through a hinge.

[0013] Furthermore, the digestion tank is made of PFA material.

[0014] Furthermore, a group of PTFE footings are provided at the bottom of the furnace body.

[0015] Furthermore, the porous heating plate is provided with 3×6 fixed holes, a total of 18 holes, corresponding to the placement of 18 digestion tanks.

[0016] Furthermore, the nitrogen pipeline, nitrogen inlet pipe and diversion pipe are all made of PU material.

[0017] When in use, install a pressure reducing valve on the front end of the nitrogen inlet pipe and insert it into the nitrogen flow meter inlet port. Then screw the temperature sensor thread head into the internal thread on the heating plate to connect the heating plate and the temperature control display. Place the digestion tank on the heating plate.

[0018] Use PU tubing to connect the digestion tank to the nitrogen diversion hole on the furnace body. Purge the sample during the chlorosilane treatment process to prevent direct contact between the sample and air. To use it, adjust the nitrogen flow meter, turn on the power switch, and adjust the temperature of the hot plate. Place the digestion tank with two holes on the hot plate. One hole is connected to the nitrogen diversion hole in the furnace body with PU tubing, and the other hole is used to add the sample and the acid used for digestion. Nitrogen is continuously purged during the heating and concentration process to prevent direct contact between the sample and air, thereby achieving the purpose of closed sample preparation. Beneficial effects

[0019] This device effectively avoids and reduces systematic errors caused by sample contamination. A nitrogen-assisted purge system, combined with a nitrogen-assisted device, provides a safer, more efficient method for purging samples during the heating and concentration process, preventing direct contact and reaction with air. This reduces the risk of introducing other impurities during chlorosilane sample preparation, which could lead to sample contamination and systematic errors. Adjusting the heating plate temperature and nitrogen purge flow rate as needed effectively prevents spontaneous combustion of chlorosilane during heating, under the protection of nitrogen, and prevents fire hazards.
