Technology comment
The core of the silane fluidized bed process for producing granular silicon is the direct decomposition of silane gas (SiH4) in a fluidized bed reactor into granular polycrystalline silicon product. The production process includes key steps such as alkali electrolysis of water for hydrogen generation, hydrogen purification, hydrogen drying and regeneration, cold hydrogenation, silane preparation, granular silicon fluidized bed, and post-treatment.
