SiCl4 Is Important Inorganic Silicon Compound
With the rapid development of communication technology and network technology, optical fiber communication has a large communication capacity. The advantages of good security performance and low transmission loss have become the main body of contemporary communication. At present, SiCl4 is mainly used to prepare fiber prefabricated rods by chemical vapor deposition. The purity of SiCl4 directly affects the quality of fiber raw materials. At present, silicon tetrachloride contains Si, H2, Cl, Si, H, Cl, Ni, Cr, B, P, Cu and other metal chlorides. For the optical fiber industry, these hydrogen-containing impurities and metal impurities will increase the absorption loss of light in optical fiber transmission due to the large vibration absorption of photons. When silicon tetrachloride is used to produce optical fiber, silicon tetrachloride must be purified by removing these impurities. At present, the removal process of silicon tetrachloride mainly includes distillation method, adsorption method, compound method and so on.
SiCl4 is one of the most important inorganic silicon compounds, is a colorless, transparent, flowing smoke liquid, with suffocating odor, soluble in benzene, ether, chloroform and other most organic solvents. Silicon tetrachloride is a volatile liquid with strong asphyxiating odor. It can be used as raw materials for the production of gaseous silica, high purity silicon and organosilicide.
The upstream of the silicon tetrachloride industry chain is the raw material market, mainly silicon powder, ferrosilicon, hydrogen chloride, etc. The downstream of silicon tetrachloride includes silicone esters, fiber prefabricated rods, white carbon black and other products. With the release of the market demand for fiber prefabricated rods, the market demand for high-purity fiber grade silicon tetrachloride will increase, and the market development prospect of high-purity fiber grade silicon tetrachloride in the future is promising.
