The invention relates to the field of polycrystalline silicon production, in particular to a method and a system for producing polycrystalline silicon products in a reactor.
[ background of the invention ]
Fluidized bed reactors are used to carry out heterogeneous reactions. In a typical fluidized bed reactor system, a fluid is passed through a bed of granular material such as catalyst or growing product particles. The flow of fluid causes the bed of particulate material to become fluidized in the reactor.
In many fluidized bed reactor systems, particularly in systems where material from the fluid phase is chemically decomposed to form solid material, solids may deposit on the walls of the reactor. Wall deposits often alter the geometry of the reactor, which can reduce reactor performance. In addition, some of the wall deposits may fall off the reactor wall and fall to the bottom of the reactor. Reactor systems often must be taken out of service to remove the dislodged deposits. To prevent untimely reactor shut-down, deposits must be periodically etched away from the reactor walls and the reactor must be cleaned, thereby reducing the reactor productivity. These problems are particularly acute in fluidized bed reactor systems used for the production of polycrystalline silicon.
Accordingly, there is a need for a reactor system and method for producing polycrystalline silicon that limits or reduces the amount of deposits that form on the reactor walls.
