Fluidization Characteristics of Silicon Particles with a Wide Size Distribution

摘要

Fluidization characteristics of silicon particle system are studied by the pressure fluctuation method.The existence of fine particles in the system can improve fluidization. Silicon particles with a wide size distribution,preferably with some fines, behave as Group A particles according to Geldart classification, although the system belongs to Group B actually. The system is also approved to be suitable for organochlorosilane monomer production using a fluidized bed reactor. Experimental data obtained in this work are important for the design and operation of commercial fluidized bed reactors for the production of organochlorosilane monomers.
