ferrosilicon chloride method: first, Ferrosilicon is added into the chlorination furnace, and then heated to about 300 ° C. 5 m3/h chlorine gas was introduced into the reaction to produce silicon tetrachloride, and after condensation, crude silicon tetrachloride was obtained. Antimony powder (0.05% by weight based on the weight of silicon tetrachloride) was added to the crude silicon tetrachloride for distillation, and the mixture was refluxed for 30min, and then a fraction of 56 to 59 ° C. Was taken to obtain a commercial grade silicon tetrachloride product. High-purity silicon tetrachloride can be obtained by further rectification of technical grade silicon tetrachloride and reflux for a long time.
silicon tetrachloride is a by-product of the production of high-purity silicon. It is not only the main raw material for the production of optical fiber preform, but also the main raw material for inorganic silicon, silicone, rubber industry, used in electronics, aviation, precision casting and other fields.
