Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental governance technology, specifically to a silane combustion tower based on heat exchange. Background Technology
[0002] Silanes are widely used as raw materials in semiconductor manufacturing, especially in processes such as etching and deposition, where they participate in reactions as either raw materials or auxiliary gases. During these processes, silanes may be converted into desired substances through combustion or catalytic oxidation, generating waste gases in the process. These waste gases may contain incompletely burned silanes, carbon monoxide, and other toxic and harmful substances. Furthermore, in the manufacturing of solar cells, silanes may also combust at specific stages, such as during silicon wafer surface treatment, where the waste gases produced by silane combustion contain various pollutants.
[0003] Silane combustion towers are commonly used equipment in the photovoltaic solar energy industry. Their working principle is that silane comes into contact with the input compressed air and nitrogen and spontaneously combusts or undergoes an oxidation reaction. After the reaction, a large amount of silica dust is generated. The dust is carried by the airflow to the spray system and dissolves into the water.
[0004] Existing silane combustion towers have the following drawbacks: ① Due to the corrosive and flammable nature of silane, the equipment requires strict material and sealing specifications, increasing maintenance difficulty and cost. ② The operation of silane combustion towers requires precise control of parameters such as combustion temperature and oxygen concentration to ensure complete combustion of silane and reduce the emission of harmful substances. Any errors or improper operation during the process may lead to equipment failure or excessive flue gas emissions, causing environmental pollution. ③ Silane combustion releases a large amount of heat energy. Although some heat can be recovered and utilized, the overall energy consumption remains high. ④ Silane exhaust gas contains various toxic and harmful substances, such as incompletely burned silane and carbon monoxide. These substances may be converted into other harmful substances during combustion, increasing the pressure on exhaust gas treatment. Utility Model Content

[0041] Compressed air and nitrogen gas inlet 5 are arranged at the top of combustion chamber 4.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the spraying system comprises a first spraying pipe and a second spraying pipe, one end of the first spraying pipe is a spraying liquid inlet, and the first spraying pipe is fixed on the inner wall of the side of the combustion chamber connected with the first regenerator.

[0047] The fourth valve 204 is arranged at one end of the gas return pipeline close to the second regenerator 302.
[0048] Suppose that the first regenerator 301 exchanges heat with the waste gas of combustion during the previous operation, at this time, the first regenerator 301 is in a high-temperature state, and the second regenerator 302 is in a low-temperature state, and the operation process of one processing cycle of the silane combustion tower based on heat exchange provided in the embodiment is described:
[0049] As shown in the figure, the first half cycle is as follows: Figure 2
[0050] ① The valve 201 is opened, and the valves 202, 203 and 204 are closed.
[0051] ② The silane waste gas enters from the total waste gas inlet pipeline 1, enters the first regenerator 301 from the left end, and enters the combustion chamber 4 after being heated by the first regenerator 301.
[0052] ③ The valve at the gas inlet 5 is opened, the compressed air and nitrogen gas are introduced into the combustion chamber 4 from the gas inlet 5, the silane waste gas is fully combusted, and the heat is absorbed by the second regenerator 302. After full combustion, the valve at the gas inlet 5 is closed.
[0053] ④ The valves 204 and 203 are opened, and the waste gas after being cooled enters the combustion chamber 4 through the gas return pipeline and the first regenerator 301. The heat in the first regenerator 301 has been exchanged into the silane waste gas, and the first regenerator 301 is in a low-temperature state, while the second regenerator 302 is in a high-temperature state.
[0054] ⑤ At this time, the combustion chamber is not in a combustion state, and the spraying system is started to spray the waste gas.
[0055] ⑥ After the spraying is completed, the exhaust pipeline is opened, and the treated gas is discharged outward.
[0056] ⑦ The blowdown port is opened, and the spraying waste liquid is discharged.
[0057] As shown in the figure, the second half cycle is as follows: Figure 3
[0058] ① Valve 202 is opened, and valves 201, 203, and 204 are closed.
[0059] ② Silane waste gas enters from the total waste gas inlet pipeline 1, enters the second regenerator 302 from the right end, and after being warmed up by the second regenerator 302, enters the combustion chamber 4.
[0060] ③ The valve at the air inlet 5 is opened, and compressed air and nitrogen are introduced into the combustion chamber 4 from the air inlet 5, and the silane waste gas is fully combusted and absorbs heat in the first regenerator 301. After full combustion, the valve at the air inlet 5 is closed.
[0061] ④ Valves 203 and 204 are opened, and the cooled waste gas enters the combustion chamber 4 through the return gas pipeline and the second regenerator 302. The heat in the second regenerator 302 has been exchanged to the silane waste gas, and the second regenerator 302 is in a low-temperature state, while the first regenerator 301 is in a high-temperature state.
[0062] ⑤ At this time, the combustion chamber is not in a combustion state, and the spraying system is started to spray the waste gas.
[0063] ⑥ After spraying is completed, the exhaust pipeline is opened, and the treated gas is discharged outward.

[0065] In addition, citric acid is added to the equipment to prevent silicon dioxide from depositing on the pipeline and equipment, reducing clogging and maintenance problems.
[0066] By adding regenerators, the silane combustion tower based on heat exchange provided in this embodiment can efficiently recover the heat energy generated during combustion. The regenerators can store heat energy and release it when needed, thereby improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing energy waste.
[0067] Traditional silane combustion towers need to be provided with complex heat insulation layers to prevent heat energy loss. However, since the regenerators are used in this embodiment, heat energy loss through the tower body is effectively reduced, so there is no need to set up heat insulation layers, thereby reducing equipment cost and maintenance difficulty.
[0068] By preheating the gas, the silane reaches a more suitable temperature before combustion, thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the silane. Preheating the gas helps the silane to burn more completely, reduces harmful substances produced by incomplete combustion, and improves waste gas treatment effect.
[0069] By adding a coating on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, deposition of combustion products on the inner wall of the combustion barrel can be effectively prevented. This not only prolongs the service life of the combustion chamber, but also reduces the problem of decreased combustion efficiency and increased difficulty of waste gas treatment caused by deposits.
[0070] The silane combustion tower based on heat exchange provided by the embodiment is more simple in structure, reduces the complex heat insulation layer and other auxiliary equipment in the traditional silane combustion tower, and reduces the equipment cost.
[0071] Although the embodiments of the present application are described in conjunction with the drawings, various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and changes fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
