TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the polycrystalline silicon production technical field, concretely relates to an energy -conserving high -efficient chlorosilane separation system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Trichlorosilane rectification is one of the core technologies of polycrystalline silicon production process, and the degree of trichlorosilane purification directly affects the purity of the final product polycrystalline silicon, and the purity of polycrystalline silicon affects the power generation effect of downstream solar cells. The raw materials of polycrystalline silicon production, such as silicon powder, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride and intermediate products produced in each process in chemical reaction, contain phosphorus, boron and metal impurities that affect the quality of polycrystalline silicon.

[0003] Most of the existing electronic grade polycrystalline silicon production adopts improved Siemens method, and adopts a five-stage or six-stage rectification tower series rectification system to separate hydrogenation liquid raw materials. Because of the existence of impurities, part of the chlorosilane raw materials cannot be completely recycled. It is usually impossible to meet the needs of electronic grade polycrystalline silicon production, and there are problems such as high energy consumption and low material utilization.

[0004] Most of the polycrystalline silicon production enterprises currently adopt multi-tower rectification for rectification and purification, usually adopting a 5-stage rectification process, and the process is as follows: coarse separation tower → light removal tower → heavy removal tower → light removal tower → heavy removal tower. The problems of this process are as follows: ① The multi-stage rectification equipment investment is large; ② The separation effect of each rectification tower is not good, which easily causes large tower cutting, low product recovery rate, high energy consumption, and also easily causes unqualified products; ③ The material is high, and the recycling rate is low; ④ The product quality is unstable due to the influence of raw material impurities.

[0005] The Chinese patent with publication number CN116534864A and publication date 2023-08-04 discloses a chlorosilane rectification and impurity removal process and system in polycrystalline silicon production. The raw material chlorosilane passes through the raw material adsorption tower to remove part of the impurities; the impurity-removed raw material chlorosilane enters the coarse separation tower, the dichlorodihydrogen silicon and light impurities are cut off from the top of the tower, the silicon tetrachloride and heavy impurities are cut off from the tower kettle, the trichlorosilane is taken out from the middle side line of the tower and enters the light removal tower, the light impurities are cut off from the upper tower top of the light removal tower, and the material taken out from the lower tower kettle of the light removal tower enters the heavy removal tower; the heavy impurities are cut off from the lower tower kettle of the heavy removal tower, and the qualified trichlorosilane product is taken out from the upper tower top of the heavy removal tower; after all the cut-off impurities are recycled, they are sent into the post-reversion separation tower for component separation, the separated dichlorodihydrogen silicon and silicon tetrachloride are mixed and sent into the reversion reactor for reversion reaction to generate trichlorosilane, and the generated trichlorosilane, unreacted dichlorodihydrogen silicon and silicon tetrachloride re-enter the post-reversion separation tower for component separation; the trichlorosilane is separated from the side line of the post-reversion separation tower and returned for rectification and impurity removal. The patent has the shortcomings of not fully utilizing heat and high energy consumption. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

The DCS controller controls the first pressure regulating valve 133 according to the preset pressure value of the first distillation column 100. If the pressure detected at the first pressure sensor 131 is greater than the preset value, the valve opening of the first pressure regulating valve 133 is increased (until fully open); if the pressure detected at the first pressure sensor 131 is less than the preset value, the valve opening of the first pressure regulating valve 133 is decreased (until fully closed), thus ensuring the pressure inside the first distillation column 100 is stable.

The DCS controller controls the fourth pressure regulating valve 443 according to a preset pressure value of the fourth distillation column 400. If the pressure detected by the fourth pressure sensor 441 is greater than the preset value, the valve opening of the fourth pressure regulating valve 443 is increased (until fully open); if the pressure detected by the fourth pressure sensor 441 is less than the preset value, the valve opening of the fourth pressure regulating valve 443 is decreased (until fully closed), thus ensuring pressure stability within the fourth distillation column 400.

The temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 141 is transmitted to the DCS controller. The DCS controller controls the first steam regulating valve 143 according to the preset temperature value of the first distillation column 100. If the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 141 is greater than the preset value, the valve opening of the first steam regulating valve 143 is reduced (until it is fully closed); if the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor 141 is less than the preset value, the valve opening of the first steam regulating valve 143 is increased (until it is fully open), thus ensuring temperature stability within the first distillation column 100.

The liquid level detected by the first liquid level sensor 151 is transmitted to the DCS controller. The DCS controller controls the first reboiler discharge valve 152 according to the preset liquid level value of the first distillation column 100. If the liquid level detected by the first liquid level sensor 151 is greater than the preset value, the valve opening of the first reboiler discharge valve 152 is increased (until fully open); if the liquid level detected by the first liquid level sensor 151 is less than the preset value, the valve opening of the first reboiler discharge valve 152 is decreased (until fully closed), thus ensuring the stability of the liquid level in the first distillation column 100.

The liquid level detected by the second liquid level sensor 251 is transmitted to the DCS controller. The DCS controller controls the second column bottom discharge valve 252 according to the preset liquid level value of the second distillation column 200. If the liquid level detected by the second liquid level sensor 251 is greater than the preset value, the valve opening of the second column bottom discharge valve 252 is increased (until it is fully open); if the liquid level detected by the second liquid level sensor 251 is less than the preset value, the valve opening of the second column bottom discharge valve 252 is decreased (until it is fully closed), thus ensuring the stability of the liquid level in the second distillation column 200.
