Claim 0:
1. A polymer handling method, comprising:
providing a sealable vessel containing silicon polymers which are a byproduct of a production of polycrystalline silicon in a Siemens process or a byproduct from a silicon epitaxy reactor;
sealing the vessel to close the vessel to prevent gas or fluid leaking from the vessel;
filling the vessel with an atmosphere having an oxygen concentration in the range of 0.1 to 3 volume %;
filling the vessel with a hydrolyzing gas having a range of about 90 to 120 grains of moisture over a temperature range of about 50 to 70° C.;
whereby the silicon polymers are, in whole or in part, humidified.
