Abstract: A connection between a graphite or carbon block having a cavity therein and the end of an electrical conductor disposed therein is made with a tamping material comprising flowable graphite powder, a metal oxide, a resin binder, and a flow promoter such a silica or a resin. The finished connection is treated with an acid dopant which reacts with the metal oxide to form a bond between the conductor and the block.

Abstract: A battery of special burners, each adapted for the treatment of a particular range of waste material formed during the conversion of metallurgical grade silicon to high purity silane and silicon, is accompanied by a series arrangement of filters to recover fumed silica by-product and a scrubber to recover muriatic acid as another by-product. All of the wastes are processed, during normal and plant upset waste load conditions, to produce useful by-products in an environmentally acceptable manner rather than waste materials having associated handling and disposal problems.

Abstract: A storage container is formed by joining together the sides and top of a pair of matched laminated flat sheets. The bottom portions are joined together adjacent the sides, but the center is sealed along the sealing surfaces of a tube connector assembly, the connector portion being in the form of a parallel pipe head, the center of which is enclosed a tube. The tube extends through the connector and projects outwardly therefrom to provide a closable access path for filling and draining the container. The projected portion of said tube is corrugated.A sleeve is formed along the top edge of the sealed top portion of sealed container and a stiffener rod is installed in the sleeve to provide a more stable structure for handling when the container is filled. Below the sleeve and horizontally centered is a hook mounting aperture for holding the container in the drain position.

Abstract: Tri- and dichlorosilanes formed by hydrogenation in the course of the reaction of metallurgical silicon, hydrogen and recycle silicon tetrachloride are employed as feed into a separation column arrangement of sequential separation columns and redistribution reactors which processes the feed into ultrahigh purity silane and recycle silicon tetrachloride. A slip stream is removed from the bottom of two sequential columns and added to the recycle silicon tetrachloride process stream causing impurities in the slip streams to be subjected to reactions in the hydrogenation step whereby waste materials can be formed and readily separated.

Abstract: Capacitive electrical heating of a fluidized bed enables the individual solid particles within the bed to constitute the hottest portion thereof. This effect is achieved by applying an A. C. voltage potential between dielectric coated electrodes, one of which is advantageously the wall of the fluidized bed rejection zone, sufficient to create electrical currents in said particles so as to dissipate heat therein. In the decomposition of silane or halosilanes in a fluidized bed reaction zone, such heating enhances the desired deposition of silicon product on the surface of the seed particles within the fluidized bed and minimizes undesired coating of silicon on the wall of the reaction zone and the homogeneous formation of fine silicon powder within said zone.
