  • Fouling reduction in hydrochlorosilane production
    Patent number: 9463982
    Abstract: Embodiments of a method for reducing iron silicide and/or iron phosphide fouling and/or corrosion in a hydrochlorosilane production plant are disclosed. Sufficient trichlorosilane is included in a silicon tetrachloride process stream to minimize hydrogen chloride formation, thereby inhibiting iron (II) chloride formation and reducing iron silicide and/or iron phosphide fouling, superheater corrosion, or a combination thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 11, 2016
    Assignee: REC Silicon Inc
    Inventors: Stein Julsrud, Anja Olafsen Sjastad
  • CORROSION AND FOULING REDUCTION IN HYDROCHLOROSILANE PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20140314655
    Abstract: Methods for reducing iron silicide and/or iron phosphide fouling and/or corrosion in a hydrochlorosilane production plant are disclosed. Sufficient hydrogen is added to a silicon tetrachloride process stream to inhibit iron (II) chloride formation and reduce iron suicide and/or iron phosphide fouling, superheater corrosion, or a combination thereof. Trichlorosilane also may be added to the silicon tetrachloride process stream.

  • Process for Producing Silane
    Publication number: 20090304568
    Abstract: The invention describes a process for producing silane, wherein magnesium hydride and halosilanes are reacted into silane and a by-product separable into at least two compounds, in a liquid reaction medium at a temperature T?100° C. and a reaction time/residence time <60 min, and wherein at least one of said compounds is recycled.
