Abstract:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing trichlorosilane by decomposition reacting polymers with hydrogen chloride at a high temperature, the apparatus comprising: a decomposition furnace into which the polymers including high-boiling chlorosilanes generated in a polycrystalline silicon manufacture process, a trichlorosilane manufacture process, or a conversion process and hydrogen chloride are introduced as raw-material gases; a furnace body constructing the decomposition furnace, which is a vertical tube with an inner-bottom surface of a concave-spherical shell shape; a heating device constructing the decomposition furnace, which is provided around the furnace body so as to heat an interior of the furnace body and a fin, a material-mixing pipe constructing the decomposition furnace, which is connected to an upper end of the furnace body so as to be extended vertically upward from the upper end of the furnace body, communicating with an interior of the furnace body; a center tube constructing the decomposition furnace, which is provided in the furnace body and the material-mixing pipe, has a lower-end opening portion opposed to the inner-bottom surface of the furnace body, and is extended vertically from a vicinity of the inner-bottom surface of the furnace body through the material-mixing pipe so as to be protruded upward from an upper end of the material-mixing pipe so that a double-pipe portion is constructed as a preheat device of the decomposition furnace by the center tube and the material-mixing pipe surrounding the center tube and a reaction chamber of the decomposition furnace is formed between the furnace body and the center tube; raw-material-supply pipes which communicate with the material-mixing pipe at an upper portion of the material-mixing pipe and supply the raw material gases to the material-mixing pipe at an exterior of the center tube; the fin constructing the decomposition furnace, which is formed in the reaction chamber integrally with at least one of an outer peripheral surface of the center tube or an inner peripheral surface of the furnace body so as to form a static mixer mixing the raw-material gases, which is heated by the heating device, and which leads the raw-material gases to the lower-end opening portion of the center tube so as to heat and stir the raw-material gases; and a gas-discharge pipe which leads reacted gas out of the decomposition furnace via an upper end portion of the center tube.
