Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polycrystalline silicon production technology, specifically to a slurry high-boiling point recovery system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the technology used in my country's polysilicon production is primarily the modified Siemens process, accounting for over 80% of the country's total polysilicon output. A crucial step in the modified Siemens process is cold hydrogenation. Cold hydrogenation involves mixing and heating hydrogen and silicon tetrachloride in a fluidized bed reactor at 530℃-560℃ and 2.5MPa-3.0MPa, where they undergo an endothermic reaction with silicon powder. This reaction requires the addition of a certain proportion of catalyst to improve the conversion rate. The exhaust gas from the reaction undergoes heat recovery, dust removal, washing, and condensation to obtain chlorosilane products, which are then sent to the distillation process for further processing. Unreacted hydrogen is compressed and reused using a circulating hydrogen compressor. The advent of cold hydrogenation effectively converts silicon tetrachloride into trichlorosilane, solving the closed-loop chlorine cycle problem and reducing the overall power consumption of polysilicon production. It is a significant cost-reduction approach in the modified Siemens process for polysilicon production. After the tail gas from the cold hydrogenation reaction is washed by a scrubbing tower, the silicon powder, metal chlorides, high boiling points, etc. in the tail gas are discharged from the bottom of the scrubbing tower to the slurry treatment unit.
[0003] In existing technologies, the high-boiling-point substances emitted from the scrubbing tower cannot be fully recovered by simple distillation technology. The high-boiling-point substances at the bottom of the distillation tower and in the settling tank contain a large amount of chlorosilanes. These two parts undergo hydrolysis, resulting in a slurry recovery rate of about 92%, which is low. This leads to high overall silicon consumption, high water consumption, and a large amount of solid waste generated, resulting in high production costs. Utility Model Content

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a high-boiling-point slurry recovery system, including a settling unit, a high-boiling-point removal unit, a high-boiling-point cracking and distillation unit. The settling unit settles and filters the high-boiling-point slurry to remove metal chlorides and silicon powder. Then, the high-boiling-point removal unit removes silicon tetrachloride (tetrasilicon) and trichlorosilane (trisilicon), so that the high-boiling-point purity reaches more than 90%. Finally, the high-boiling-point pyrolysis and distillation unit cracks the high-boiling-point slurry, and then distills the cracked high-boiling-point mixture.
[0027] The settling unit includes a collection tank 1, a settling tank 2, a dryer 3, a third condenser 5, and a third recovery tank 6, which are connected by sequential pipelines. The collection tank 1 collects high-boiling-point materials, which enter the settling tank 2 from the bottom of the collection tank 1 for 1-3 hours of settling. The bottom of the settling tank 2 contains a large amount of silica powder and metal chloride solids, which enter the dryer 3 for processing. The dryer 3 uses 0.4-0.6 MPa steam to heat and evaporate the internal materials. The gas phase at the top of the dryer 3 enters the third condenser 5 and condenses into liquid, which then enters the third recovery tank 6. The slag-containing solids at the bottom of the dryer 3 are sent for hydrolysis treatment.
[0028] A filter 4 is also connected between the settling tank 2 and the dryer 3. The clear liquid at the top of the settling tank 2 enters the filter 4 for filtration, and the solid impurities filtered by the filter 4 are discharged into the dryer 3 for processing.
[0029] The high-boiling-point removal unit includes a high-boiling-point removal tower 8, a filter 4, and a third recovery tank 6 connected to the high-boiling-point removal tower 8 via pipeline. A third pump 7 is installed on the pipeline between the third recovery tank 6 and the high-boiling-point removal tower 8. The clear liquid at the top of the filter 4 enters the high-boiling-point removal tower 8 for treatment, and the liquid in the third recovery tank 6 is pumped into the high-boiling-point removal tower 8 for treatment by the third pump 7.
[0030] Filter 4 is equipped with multiple layers of metal filter screens, which are inclined at a 45° angle to the horizontal plane. The mesh size of the filter screens is 50-200 mesh. The settling tank 2 is connected to the lower part of filter 4, and the high-boiling point removal tower 8 is connected to the upper part of filter 4 via a pipeline. A backflushing mechanism is installed at the top of filter 4 above the filter screen. The backflushing mechanism can backflush the filter screen with nitrogen and clear liquid. High-boiling point particles enter filter 4 from the middle. Solid particles in the high-boiling point are intercepted by the filter screen and deposited at the bottom of filter 4, while clear liquid is discharged upward through the filter screen. To ensure the filtration effect, filter 4 is backflushed periodically with clear liquid and nitrogen, and the deposited and backflushed solid particles are discharged periodically.
[0031] The high-boiling-point removal unit also includes a first condenser 9 and a first recovery tank 10, which are sequentially connected to the top of the high-boiling-point removal tower 8. The top of the high-boiling-point removal tower 8 is connected to a first material pipe 12. The first recovery tank 10 is connected to the first material pipe 12 and a first pump 11 is installed on the pipe. In the high-boiling-point removal tower 8, the material fed in by the settling unit is heated and vaporized, enters the first condenser 9 from the top, condenses into liquid, and then enters the first recovery tank 10. It is then pumped by the first pump 11 to the first material pipe 12. Part of it enters the top of the high-boiling-point removal tower 8 through the first material pipe 12 for re-distillation, and the other part is collected as product. The collected product is silicon tetrachloride and trichlorosilane.
[0032] The high-boiling cracking and distillation unit includes a stirred tank 13, a reaction tank 14, a distillation column 15, a second condenser 16, and a second recovery tank 17, which are connected by sequential pipelines.
[0033] The stirred tank 13 is connected to the bottom pipeline of the high-boiling tower 8, and the top of the stirred tank 13 is connected to the catalyst tube. The high boiling point of about 120-130℃ at the bottom of the high-boiling tower 8 enters the stirred tank 13 and is mixed evenly with the catalyst. The catalyst addition ratio is 1‰~5‰, and the catalyst composition is a mixture of alkylamine and aniline.
[0034] The bottom of the stirred tank 13 is connected to the top of the waste liquid tank via a pipeline. The side and top of the reaction tank 14 are respectively connected to the bottom of the distillation column 15 via pipelines. An inlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the reaction tank 14, and a jacket is installed on the outside of the reaction tank 14. The top of the distillation column 15 is connected to the second condenser 16 via a pipeline. A second material pipe 19 is also connected to the top of the distillation column 15. The second recovery tank 17 is connected to the second material pipe 19 via a pipeline, and a second pump 18 is installed on the pipeline. Both the reaction tank 14 and the stirred tank 13 are equipped with stirring mechanisms.
[0035] The high-boiling point is fed into the reaction tank 14 from the bottom of the stirred tank 13 for reaction. 1.2MPa steam is introduced into the jacket of the reaction tank 14 to maintain the reaction temperature at 145-155℃. At the same time, hydrogen chloride gas with a flow rate of 30-80Nm3 / h is introduced from the bottom of the reaction tank 14 through the gas inlet pipe to crack the high-boiling point. The cracked chlorosilane gas enters the second condenser 16 from the top of the distillation column 15 and is condensed into chlorosilane liquid. Then it enters the second recovery tank 17 and is then transported into the second material pipe 19 through the second pump 18. Part of it enters the top of the distillation column 15 through the second material pipe 19 for re-distillation, and the other part is collected as product. The slag solid at the bottom of the reaction tank 14 is sent for hydrolysis treatment.
[0036] This invention first removes metal chlorides and silicon powder by settling and filtering high-boiling-point materials. Then, tetrasilicon and trisilicon are removed from the top of the high-boiling-point removal tower 8, achieving a high-boiling-point purity of over 90% at the bottom. A catalyst is then added to crack the high-boiling-point materials into smaller molecules. The cracked high-boiling-point mixture is then distilled, solving the high-boiling-point recovery problem and increasing the overall slurry yield to 99%. This significantly reduces overall silicon consumption and lowers production costs.
