[0024] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0025] At least one embodiment of the present invention provides a device for disproportionation of chlorosilanes, such as Figure 1As shown, the apparatus for chlorosilane disproportionation may include a fixed-bed reactor 1, a first structural element 2, a second structural element 3, a chlorosilane feed line 4, and a chlorosilane discharge line 5. The fixed-bed reactor 1 is a reactor filled with granular solid catalyst or solid reactants, forming a stacked bed of a certain height. Gas or liquid flows through the interstices between the particles and through the stationary fixed bed, achieving a heterogeneous reaction process. This type of reactor is characterized by the stationary solid particles within the device, unlike moving beds and fluidized beds, where the solid material moves within the device. It is also called a packed bed reactor.

[0026] In this embodiment, the second structural member 3 is disposed at the lower portion of the fixed-bed reactor 1 and connected to the chlorosilane feed line 4. The first structural member 2 is disposed at the upper portion of the fixed-bed reactor 1 and connected to the chlorosilane discharge line 5. The first structural member 2 and the second structural member 3 are each designed to be formed by a Johnson mesh, which is used in petrochemical filtration equipment. Furthermore, the chlorosilane feed line 4 is mounted on the lower outer side of the fixed-bed reactor 1, and the chlorosilane discharge line 5 is mounted on the outer top of the fixed-bed reactor 1.

[0027] For example: In the initial state, chlorosilane is normally fed into the second structural component 3 through the chlorosilane feed pipeline 4 to isolate impurities, and then evenly distributed to fully contact with the resin in the fixed bed reactor 1. After sufficient contact, the chlorosilane is collected through the first structural component 2 and then enters the chlorosilane discharge pipeline 5 for normal discharge.

[0028] Therefore, the present invention evenly distributes the chlorosilane through the first structural member 2, ensuring that impurities do not directly contact the resin and that the chlorosilane and resin are in sufficient contact. The fully contacted chlorosilane is then collected by the second structural member 3 and enters the chlorosilane discharge line 5, preventing the resin from escaping. Specifically, the fixed-bed reactor 1 with the first structural member 2 and the second structural member 3 effectively intercepts impurities in the chlorosilane, preventing them from directly contacting the resin and damaging it, while also preventing the resin from escaping.

[0029] Preferred embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device for disproportionation of chlorosilane further includes a feed port 11 disposed at the top of the fixed bed reactor 1 and communicating with the upper layer of the first structural member 2. In other preferred embodiments, the device for disproportionation of chlorosilane further includes a discharge port 12 disposed at the bottom of the fixed bed reactor 1 and communicating with the lower layer of the second structural member 3.

[0030] As other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the first structural member 2 of the device for disproportionation of chlorosilane comprises a main pipe and a plurality of branch pipes. The main pipe is connected to the chlorosilane discharge pipe 5, and the plurality of branch pipes are arranged and connected to the main pipe, and the branch pipes are designed as a Johnson network. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of branch pipes are evenly distributed and respectively connected to the main pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the chlorosilane discharge pipe 5 extends into the fixed bed reactor 1 and is vertically connected to the middle position of the main pipe (see Figure 2 In addition, the gap size of the branch pipe designed as the Johnson net is smaller than the resin size.

[0031] For example, the fully reacted material enters the first structural element 2 through a branch pipe designed as a Johnson net, achieving uniform distribution and separating the material from the resin. The material is then collected and discharged from the top of the fixed-bed reactor 1 via the chlorosilane discharge line 5. The specific number and connection locations of the branch pipes can be calculated based on actual flow rate, contact area, and other parameters. During backwashing, the material can be collected and discharged from the top of the fixed-bed reactor 1 to prevent the resin from escaping with the material.

[0032] In some other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the second structural component 3 of the chlorosilane disproportionation device comprises a main pipe and multiple branch pipes. The main pipe is connected to the chlorosilane feed line 4, and the multiple branch pipes are arranged and connected to the main pipe, respectively. The branch pipes are designed as a Johnson net. In a preferred embodiment, the multiple branch pipes are evenly distributed and respectively connected to the main pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the chlorosilane feed line 4 is connected to the main pipe horizontally. In addition, the gap size of the branch pipes designed as a Johnson net is smaller than the resin size.

[0033] For example, the feed enters the main pipe from chlorosilane feed line 4. Branch pipes connected to the main pipe can evenly distribute the feed, ensuring sufficient contact between the feed and the resin. The specific number and connection positions of the branch pipes can be calculated based on actual flow rate, contact area, and other parameters.

[0034] In some further embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the device for disproportionation of chlorosilane includes a reactor feed pressure gauge 6, a reactor discharge pressure gauge 7, and a reactor differential pressure gauge 8. The reactor feed pressure gauge 6 is installed on the chlorosilane feed pipeline 4, the reactor discharge pressure gauge 7 is installed on the chlorosilane discharge pipeline 5, and the reactor differential pressure gauge 8 is installed between the reactor feed pressure gauge 6 and the reactor discharge pressure gauge 7.

[0035] In other embodiments, the device for chlorosilane disproportionation further includes a backwash line 13 and a bypass line 14, wherein both ends of the backwash line 13 are respectively connected to the chlorosilane feed line 4 and the chlorosilane discharge line 5, and both ends of the bypass line 14 are respectively connected to the chlorosilane feed line 4 and the chlorosilane discharge line 5, and the port of the backwash line 13 connected to the chlorosilane feed line 4 is closer to the fixed bed reactor 1 than the port of the bypass line 14, and the port of the bypass line 14 connected to the chlorosilane discharge line 5 is closer to the fixed bed reactor 1 than the port of the backwash line 13.

[0036] For example: when a large amount of chlorosilane impurities accumulate in the second structural member 3, the pressure of the reactor discharge pressure gauge 7 will decrease and the pressure difference of the reactor differential pressure gauge 8 will increase. Online backwashing can be performed through the bypass line 14 and the backwash line 13 to carry out the impurities in the second structural member 3 to the downstream, so that the reactor pressure difference returns to normal, ensuring production continuity and stability.

[0037] In a further embodiment, the device for disproportionation of chlorosilane includes a first valve 15, a second valve 16, a third valve 17, a fourth valve 18, a fifth valve 19, a sixth valve 20, a seventh valve 21, and an eighth valve 22. The first valve 15 is disposed on the chlorosilane feed line 4 between the port of the backwash line 13 and the port of the bypass line 14; the second valve 16 is disposed on the chlorosilane feed line 4 between the port of the backwash line 13 and the fixed bed reactor 1; the third valve 17 is disposed on the chlorosilane discharge line 4 between the port of the bypass line 14 and the fixed bed reactor 1; the fourth valve 18 is disposed on the chlorosilane discharge line 4 between the port of the backwash line 13 and the port of the bypass line 14; the fifth valve 19 is disposed on the bypass line 14 near the chlorosilane feed line 4; and the sixth valve 20 is disposed on the backwash line 13 near the chlorosilane feed line 4. The seventh valve 21 is disposed on the bypass line 14 and close to the chlorosilane discharge line 5 , and the eighth valve 21 is disposed on the backwash line 13 and close to the chlorosilane discharge line 5 .

[0038] For example: In the initial state, chlorosilane is normally fed into the second structural component 3 through the chlorosilane feed pipeline 4 to isolate impurities, and then evenly distributed to fully contact with the resin in the fixed bed reactor 1. The chlorosilane after sufficient contact is then collected by the first structural component 2 and enters the chlorosilane discharge pipeline 5 for normal discharge. At this time, the first valve 15, the second valve 16, the third valve 17, the fourth valve 18, the seventh valve 21 and the eighth valve 22 remain open, and the fifth valve 19 and the sixth valve 20 are closed, without passing through the bypass pipeline 14 and the backwash pipeline 13.

[0039] When a large amount of chlorosilane impurities accumulate in the second structural component 3, the pressure of the reactor discharge pressure gauge 7 will be reduced, and the pressure difference of the reactor differential pressure gauge 8 will be increased. Online backwashing can be performed through the bypass pipeline 14 and the backwash pipeline 13. Specifically: open the fifth valve 19 and the sixth valve 20, close the first valve 15 and the fourth valve 18, and allow chlorosilane to be fed through the chlorosilane feed pipeline 4 via the bypass pipeline 14. After passing through the first structural component 2 to isolate impurities, the chlorosilane is evenly distributed and fully contacted with the resin in the reactor. After sufficient contact, the chlorosilane is collected by the second structural component 3 and then enters the backwash pipeline 13 to be merged into the chlorosilane discharge pipeline 5 for normal discharge. After the impurities are taken out, the normal state can be restored.

[0040] When the pressure difference of the reactor differential pressure gauge 8 increases again, the first valve 15 and the fourth valve 18 can be opened, and the fifth valve 19 and the sixth valve 20 can be closed to discharge the impurities accumulated in the first structural member 2 and return the fixed bed reactor 1 to normal operation.

[0041] It should be noted that when chlorosilane disproportionation is not required through fixed-bed reactor 1, fifth valve 19 can be opened and first valve 15 closed, allowing chlorosilane discharge line 4 and bypass line 14 to flow directly into chlorosilane discharge line 5. When fixed-bed reactor 1 is to be put into use again, first valve 15 can be opened and fifth valve 19 closed to restore normal operation.

[0042] As some examples, Figure 1 As shown, it includes a third structural member 9 formed by a Johnson net, wherein the third structural member 9 is arranged at the lower end of the fixed bed reactor 1 and is connected to the drain port 10 installed on the outer side of the bottom of the fixed bed reactor 1.

[0043] Preferred embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third structural member 9 includes a pipe designed with a gap, and the pipe is connected to the drain port 10. In a preferred embodiment, the gap size of the third structural member 9 designed as a Johnson net is smaller than the size of the resin.

[0044] For example, when chlorosilane needs to be completely drained from the fixed-bed reactor 1, the resin can be isolated through the third structural member 9 and the chlorosilane can be drained to a safe location. When the resin needs to be replaced, the liquid chlorosilane is first drained to a safe location through the third structural member 9 and the drain port 10. Pure STC is then fully replaced through the third structural member 9 and the drain port 10. After fully drying and replacing the resin with hot nitrogen, the resin is discharged to a safe location through the discharge port after safety is confirmed.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] The above specific embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model shall be included in the scope of protection of this utility model.
