  • Reduction of SiCl4 in the presence of BCl3
    Patent number: 10010853
    Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to the purification of boron trichloride (BCl3). More particularly, the invention relates to a process for minimizing silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) formation in BCl3 production and/or the removal of SiCl4 in BCl3 product stream by preventing/minimizing the silicon source in the reaction chambers. In addition, a hydride material may be used to convert any SiCl4 present to SiH4 which is easier to remove. Lastly freeze separation would replace fractional distillation to remove SiCl4 from BCl3 that has been partially purified to remove light boilers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 3, 2018
    Assignee: Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark W. Raynor, Daniel J. Tempel, Junpin Yao, Larry Wagg, Adam Seymour
