Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To prevent solidified aluminum chloride from adhering to and accumulating on a pipe and also prevent stress-corrosion cracking in the pipe, a method for producing trichlorosilane includes a cooling step of cooling a discharge gas that is discharged from a fluidized-bed reactor and that contains the trichlorosilane, the cooling step involving causing a fluid to flow through a space ( 4 ) inside a side wall ( 3 ) of a pipe ( 10 ), the pipe being a pipe for discharging the discharge gas from the fluidized-bed reactor, in such a manner that the side wall ( 3 ) has a surface ( 1 a ) having a temperature of not lower than 110° C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing trichlorosilane, the method comprising: a cooling step of cooling a discharge gas that is discharged from a fluidized-bed reactor configured to produce the trichlorosilane and that contains the trichlorosilane, in the cooling step, by causing a fluid to flow through a space inside a side wall of a pipe in such a manner that the side wall has a surface at a temperature of not lower than 110° C., the discharge gas being cooled so that in the pipe upstream of a lower end portion of the wall where the space is provided, the discharge gas flowing through the pipe is kept at a temperature of not lower than a sublimation temperature of aluminum chloride, the pipe being a pipe for discharging the discharge gas from the fluidized-bed reactor, the discharge gas flowing through the pipe being in contact with the surface. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling step involves causing the fluid to flow through the space in such a manner that the side wall has a lowermost portion having a surface temperature of lower than 125° C. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid is air having a temperature of not lower than 30° C. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid is high-temperature water having a temperature of not lower than 100° C.
