20110262336 | PRODUCTION OF SOLAR-GRADE SILICON FROM SILICON DIOXIDE - The invention relates to a complete method for producing pure silicon that is suitable for use as solar-grade silicon, comprising the reduction of a silicon oxide, purified by acidic precipitation from an aqueous solution of a silicon oxide dissolved in an aqueous phase, using one or more pure carbon sources, the purified silicon oxide being obtained, in particular, by the precipitation of a silicon oxide dissolved in an aqueous phase in an acidifier. The invention also relates to a formulation containing an activator and to a device for producing silicon, a reactor and electrodes. | 10-27-2011 |
20110262339 | PRODUCTION OF SOLAR-GRADE SILICON FROM SILICON DIOXIDE - The invention relates to a complete method for producing pure silicon that is suitable for use as solar-grade silicon, comprising the reduction of a purified silicon oxide using one or more pure carbon sources, the purified silicon oxide, which was purified as silicon oxide dissolved in an aqueous phase, having a content of other polyvalent metals or metal oxides, in relation to the silicon oxide, of less than or equal to 300 ppm, preferably less than 100 ppm, especially preferably less than 50 ppm and according to the invention less than 10 ppm of the other metals and being obtained advantageously by gel formation in alkaline conditions. The invention also relates to a formulation containing an activator and to the use of purified silicon oxide together with an activator for producing silicon. | 10-27-2011 |
20140017155 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING TRICHLOROSILANE - The present invention relates to a process for preparing trichlorosilane and optionally, if required, HCDS and OCTS, by a) in a first step, allowing silicon tetrachloride and silicon to react at a temperature of >800 to 1450° C., b) in a step two, cooling the product stream (PS) thus obtained from step one to obtain a product stream (PG2), c) optionally, in a step three, removing STC and HCDS from the product stream (PG2) to obtain, as a residue or bottom product, a product mixture (PG3), d) optionally, in a step four, removing OCTS from the product stream PG3 from step three, to obtain, as a residue or bottom product, a product mixture (PG4), e) in a step five, reacting the product stream (PG2) originating from step two or the product mixture (PG3) originating from step three or the product mixture (PG4) originating from step four, or a mixture of product streams PG2 and PG3 or a mixture of product streams PG2 and PG4 with hydrogen chloride to obtain a product stream (PHS), and f) in a subsequent step six, removing trichlorosilane from a product stream (PHS) thus obtained, and discharging the remaining STC-containing bottoms or recycling them as a reactant component into step one of the process. | 01-16-2014 |
20140296555 | LOW CHLORIDE COMPOSITIONS OF OLEFINICALLY FUNCTIONALISED SILOXANE OLIGOMERS BASED ON ALKOXYSILANES - The invention relates to a composition comprising olefinically functionalized siloxane oligomers derived from olefinically functionalized alkoxysilanes and optionally alkoxysilanes functionalized with saturated hydrocarbons, and also, optionally, a tetraalkoxysilane, which have not more than one olefinic radical on the silicon atom, and whose chloride content is reduced, and also to processes for preparing them and to the use thereof. | 10-02-2014 |
20150080531 | MIXTURES, PARTICULARLY LOW IN VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC), OF OLEFINICALLY FUNCTIONALISED SILOXANE OLIGOMERS BASED O ALKOXY SILANES - The invention relates to a composition containing olefinically functionalized siloxane oligomers which are derived from olefinically functionalized alkoxy silanes and optionally alkoxy silanes functionalized with saturated hydrocarbons and optionally a tetraalkoxysilane, at most comprising an olefinic group on the silicon atom having a reduced chloride content and the VOC content being lower with respect to the hydrolysable alkoxy-groups. The invention also relates to methods for the production thereof and to the use thereof. | 03-19-2015 |
