Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention relates to a method of preparing trichlorosilane, which enables trichlorosilane to be obtained at improved yield using silicon having copper silicide uniformly formed thereon, by uniformly distributing and applying a copper compound on the surface of silicon and then performing heat treatment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of preparing trichlorosilane, comprising: forming a copper (Cu) compound coating layer on silicon (Si); heat treating the silicon having the copper compound coating layer formed thereon to a temperature equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the copper compound, thus forming copper silicide (Cu-silicide) on the silicon; and supplying silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen to the silicon having copper silicide formed thereon, so that hydrochlorination is carried out. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the copper compound coating layer is performed by incorporating the silicon in a solution containing the copper compound. 3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the solution includes one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and butanol. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein forming the copper silicide is performed in a mixed gas atmosphere containing hydrogen. 5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the mixed gas includes 10 wt % or less of hydrogen and a remainder of inert gas. 6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrochlorination is carried out without addition of a catalyst. 7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the copper silicide is formed on a surface of the silicon. 8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the copper compound includes CuCl, CuCl 2 , Cu 2 O, CuO, Cu, or mixtures thereof. 9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the silicon is metallurgical silicon (MG-Si) having an average particle size of 10 to 500 μm. 10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein heat treating is performed at a temperature of 300 to 800° C. and a pressure of 1 to 20 bar. 11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the hydrochlorination is carried out at a temperature of 300 to 800° C. and a pressure of 1 to 50 bar.
