Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of polysilicon production, and in particular relates to a cold hydrogenated nitrogen recovery system. Background Art

[0002] In the hydrogenation process for polysilicon production, the silicon powder required as raw material for the fluidized bed reactor is transported from the silicon powder silo to the silicon powder low-pressure tank using nitrogen. When the silicon powder high-pressure tank is empty, the silicon powder is replenished from the low-pressure tank to the high-pressure tank.

[0003] After the silicon powder is transported from the silicon powder silo to the silicon powder low-pressure tank by nitrogen, the nitrogen required for transportation flows from the top of the silicon powder low-pressure tank to the low-pressure dust collector, and is discharged into the atmosphere after dust removal by the low-pressure dust collector; since the pressure of the silicon powder high-pressure tank is controlled by the hydrogen pressure, the silicon powder low-pressure tank is connected to the silicon powder low-pressure tank. In order to prevent the hydrogen in the silicon powder high-pressure tank from flowing into the silicon powder low-pressure tank, the silicon powder low-pressure tank is often protected by nitrogen. The protective nitrogen flows from the top of the silicon powder low-pressure tank to the low-pressure dust collector, and is discharged into the atmosphere after dust removal by the low-pressure dust collector.

[0004] The cold hydrogenation fluidized bed system needs to be shut down for maintenance periodically. After the maintenance is completed, nitrogen must be used to replace the fluid to the dew point and the micro-oxygen level must be qualified before the system can be used to start up with materials. The replacement nitrogen used after the system maintenance is completed is discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in a large amount of nitrogen waste. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Purpose of the utility model: The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a cold hydrogenated nitrogen recovery system to address the deficiencies of the existing technology, to recover nitrogen from the cold hydrogenated silicon powder conveying unit and to replace nitrogen after the system maintenance is completed, thereby reducing nitrogen waste and lowering the overall production cost.

[0009] Furthermore, the air inlet of the nitrogen compressor inlet dust collector is also connected to the cold hydrogenation system maintenance venting device, and the nitrogen vented during maintenance is sent to the nitrogen compressor inlet dust collector for dust removal and recovery.

[0010] Furthermore, a nitrogen drying device is provided on the pipeline between the nitrogen recovery tank and the nitrogen compressor.

[0011] Furthermore, a nitrogen compressor air intake buffer tank is provided on the pipeline between the nitrogen drying device and the nitrogen compressor.

[0017] This new cold hydrogenation nitrogen recovery system recycles nitrogen from the cold hydrogenated silicon powder delivery unit and nitrogen replacement after system maintenance into a nitrogen storage tank. The nitrogen then flows through the top of the nitrogen storage tank into a nitrogen drying unit. After drying, the nitrogen enters a nitrogen compressor, where the low-pressure nitrogen is compressed and then delivered to a high-pressure nitrogen storage tank. The compressor powers the nitrogen flow throughout this process. The compressed nitrogen can be used to pressurize the residual liquid storage tank generated by the replacement of cold hydrogenation equipment, transporting the residual liquid to downstream slurry processing equipment via a pressure differential. It can also be used to replace materials in cold hydrogenation fluidized bed systems prior to maintenance.

[0018] This system recycles nitrogen from the cold hydrogenated silicon powder conveying unit and replaces nitrogen after system maintenance, and reuses it after drying, reducing nitrogen waste and lowering overall production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
