Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to systems and methods of synthesizing trichlorosilane. The disclosed systems and methods can involve increasing the concentration of the solids in the slurry to recover or separate the volatilized metal salts and reduce the obstructions created by the solidification of the metal salts in downstream operations of the during trichlorosilane synthesis. Rather than heating to raise the temperature to vaporize chlorosilane compounds, and subsequently condensing the volatilized chlorosilane compounds, the present invention can involve increasing the solids concentration in the slurry stream by utilizing a non-condensable gas, such as hydrogen, to volatilize the chlorosilane components, which can consequently promote evaporative conditions that can reduce the slurry temperature. The lower slurry temperature results in a lower volatility of the metal salts, which reduces the likelihood of carryover to downstream unit operations.
