Reuse of by-products[recovery process] 

By-products in the reduction process for the manufacture of polycrystalline silicon include silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen gas. The silicon tetrachloride is reused as a feedstock for making trichlorosilane in the conversion process, but part of it is refined over and over again to make it ultra-pure, and shipped as a material for making products such as precision optical lenses. The hydrogen gas, the other by-product in the reduction process, is used as a feedstock for the conversion process, and is also reused in the reduction process. 

Silicon tetrachloride production 

The process for reducing trichlorosilane with hydrogen produces polycrystalline silicon and also a gas that includes unreacted trichlorosilane, hydrogen chloride, and silicon tetrachloride. This gas is cooled to recover various components individually, and among of them, silicon tetrachloride is highly purified by distillation.

Applications of Silicon tetrachloride 

Our ultra-pure silicon tetrachloride can be utilized for uses such as a material for the manufacture of precision optical lenses, a material for the manufacture of synthetic quartz, silicon dioxide, silica and as a photomask for semiconductor manufacture. It is also used for optical fibers.
