また特に、カーボン製略円筒体101は、反応容器100へと組み立てられて高温環境下で使用されるため、使用時には僅かながら熱膨張する。しかし、カーボン製略円筒体101の熱膨張係数は個々に相違するため、上記構造の複数のカーボン製略円筒体101を連結一体化して高温環境で使用すると、連結された一方のカーボン製略円筒体101の肩部102が容器内側へと膨張するとともに、当該肩部102に嵌め込まれた他方のカーボン製略円筒体101の突出部103が容器外側へと膨張するため、カーボン製略円筒体101の連結部に横方向のストレスが加わる。このストレスが顕著になると、肩部102や突出部103の肉厚の薄い壁面が負荷に耐えきれず割れやひび割れを生じ、反応容器100の気密性を損なうことになる。その結果、反応炉を停止させ、カーボン製反応容器100を解体し、カーボン製略円筒体101を交換する等の回復措置をとる必要が頻繁に生じてしまう。
In particular, since the carbon substantially
かくして、カーボン製反応容器の物理的衝撃耐性および熱衝撃耐性を改善することが求められていた。 Thus, there has been a demand for improving the physical shock resistance and thermal shock resistance of the carbon reaction vessel.
本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、物理的衝撃耐性に優れ、高温環境下で使用しても連結部に割れやひび割れを生じることがないカーボン製反応容器、並びに当該カーボン製反応容器を用いることにより高い作業能率でクロロシランと水素とを反応させる方法を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a carbon reaction vessel that has excellent physical impact resistance and does not cause cracks or cracks in the connection even when used in a high temperature environment, and the carbon reaction. It aims at providing the method of making chlorosilane and hydrogen react with high working efficiency by using a container.
本発明者等は、前記課題を解決する方法を鋭意検討した結果、肩部や突出部を有しない略円筒状のカーボン製略円筒体を用い、このカーボン製略円筒体同士の連結部を外周側からカーボン製リングを用いて締結することにより、高熱環境下でカーボン製略円筒体を使用しても連結部に割れやひび割れが発生しないことを見出し、本発明に至った。 As a result of earnestly examining the method for solving the above problems, the present inventors used a substantially cylindrical carbon substantially cylindrical body that does not have a shoulder portion or a projecting portion, and the connection portion between the substantially cylindrical carbon bodies is arranged on the outer periphery. By fastening with a carbon ring from the side, it has been found that even if a substantially cylindrical body made of carbon is used in a high heat environment, no cracks or cracks are generated in the connecting portion, leading to the present invention.
すなわち本発明は、クロロシランと水素とを高温下で気相反応させるためのカーボン製反応容器であって、複数のカーボン製略円筒体が、端部同士を突き合わせて略同軸に配され、突き合わせ端部が外周からカーボン製リングで締結されてなることを特徴としている。 That is, the present invention is a carbon reaction vessel for causing a gas phase reaction between chlorosilane and hydrogen at a high temperature, wherein a plurality of carbon substantially cylindrical bodies are arranged substantially coaxially with their ends abutted to each other, It is characterized in that the portion is fastened with a carbon ring from the outer periphery.
特に、カーボン製略円筒体の突き合わせ端部の外周面に雄ネジ部が形成され、前記カーボン製リングの内周面に、前記雄ネジ部に対応する雌ネジ部が形成され、前記カーボン製リングが前記カーボン製略円筒体に螺合締結されていることが好ましい。 In particular, a male screw part is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the butted end of the substantially cylindrical carbon body, and a female screw part corresponding to the male screw part is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the carbon ring. Is preferably screwed and fastened to the substantially cylindrical body made of carbon.
かかるカーボン製反応容器によれば、連結部において一方のカーボン製略円筒体の端部が他方のカーボン製略円筒体の端部に嵌合していないため、仮に個々のカーボン製略円筒体の熱膨張係数が相違したとしても、高温環境下で使用した際に連結部に割れやひび割れを引き起こすことがない。
また、カーボン製略円筒体の上端または下端に肉厚の薄い部位が形成されないため、搬送時等に受け得る物理的衝撃に対しても優れた耐性を有する。さらに、カーボン製略円筒体の構造が単純であるため、製造も容易である。
According to such a carbon reaction vessel, since the end of one carbon substantially cylindrical body is not fitted to the end of the other carbon substantially cylindrical body at the connecting portion, each carbon substantially cylindrical body is temporarily Even if the thermal expansion coefficients are different, there is no possibility of causing cracks or cracks in the connecting portion when used in a high temperature environment.
Moreover, since a thin-walled portion is not formed at the upper end or lower end of the substantially cylindrical body made of carbon, it has excellent resistance to physical impact that can be received during transportation. Further, since the structure of the substantially cylindrical body made of carbon is simple, the manufacture is easy.
特に、前記カーボン製略円筒体の内周面および/または外周面が炭化ケイ素被膜処理されていること、当該炭化ケイ素被膜がCVD法により10~500μmの厚みで形成されていることが好ましい。
炭化ケイ素被膜は化学的分解に対して極めて高い耐性を有するため、カーボン組織の化学的浸食を防止できる。従って、かかるカーボン製反応容器によれば、カーボン製略円筒体の表面を腐食から保護することができる。
In particular, it is preferable that the inner peripheral surface and / or the outer peripheral surface of the carbon substantially cylindrical body is treated with a silicon carbide coating, and the silicon carbide coating is formed with a thickness of 10 to 500 μm by a CVD method.
Since the silicon carbide coating has a very high resistance to chemical degradation, chemical erosion of the carbon structure can be prevented. Therefore, according to such a carbon reaction vessel, the surface of the carbon substantially cylindrical body can be protected from corrosion.
さらに、気密性が優れていることから、カーボン製略円筒体が黒鉛製であることが好適である。 Furthermore, since the airtightness is excellent, it is preferable that the carbon substantially cylindrical body is made of graphite.
また、前記カーボン製リングについても、腐食防止のために、表面が炭化ケイ素被膜処理されていること、当該炭化ケイ素被膜がCVD法により10~500μmの厚みで形成されていることが好ましい。さらに、カーボン製リングが黒鉛製であることが好適である。 In addition, it is preferable that the surface of the carbon ring is treated with a silicon carbide coating to prevent corrosion, and the silicon carbide coating is formed with a thickness of 10 to 500 μm by a CVD method. Furthermore, the carbon ring is preferably made of graphite.
クロロシランと水素とを反応させるためのカーボン製反応容器として、本発明に係る上記カーボン製反応容器を用いることにより、カーボン製反応容器における割れやひび割れの発生を低減できるため、カーボン製反応容器の部品を交換する頻度が低減され、反応炉の作業能率を改善することができる。 By using the carbon reaction vessel according to the present invention as a carbon reaction vessel for reacting chlorosilane and hydrogen, the occurrence of cracks and cracks in the carbon reaction vessel can be reduced. Can be reduced, and the working efficiency of the reactor can be improved.
本発明によれば、カーボン製略円筒体の上端または下端に肉厚の薄い部位が形成されないため、物理的衝撃に対して優れた耐性を有する。また、連結部において一方のカーボン製略円筒体の端部が他方のカーボン製略円筒体の端部に嵌合していないため、高温環境下で使用することによりカーボン製略円筒体が熱膨張しても、個々のカーボン製略円筒体の熱膨張係数の相違による連結部の割れやひび割れを引き起こすことがない。そのため、反応容器の構成部材を交換する頻度が低減され、反応炉の作業能率を改善することができる。 According to the present invention, since a thin-walled portion is not formed at the upper end or the lower end of the carbon substantially cylindrical body, it has excellent resistance to physical impact. In addition, since the end of one carbon substantially cylindrical body is not fitted to the end of the other carbon substantially cylindrical body at the connecting portion, the carbon substantially cylindrical body is thermally expanded when used in a high temperature environment. Even so, there is no possibility of causing cracks or cracks in the connecting portion due to differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of individual carbon substantially cylindrical bodies. Therefore, the frequency of exchanging the components of the reaction vessel is reduced, and the working efficiency of the reaction furnace can be improved.

外径15cm、高さ10cm、厚さ3cmの等方性黒鉛からなる直円筒状のカーボン製略円筒体であって、上端に深さが3.8cmの肩部、下端に長さが3.8cmの突出部を有するカーボン製略円筒体を複数準備した。肩部の内周面にはネジ溝を形成し、突出部の外周面には前記ネジ溝に対応するネジ山を形成した。さらに、カーボン製略円筒体の内周面および外周面に、上記実施例1と同様に、200μmの厚みの炭化ケイ素被膜を形成した。
Comparative Example 1
It is a substantially cylindrical carbon cylinder made of isotropic graphite having an outer diameter of 15 cm, a height of 10 cm, and a thickness of 3 cm, with a shoulder at a depth of 3.8 cm at the upper end and a length of 3. at the lower end. A plurality of carbon substantially cylindrical bodies having 8 cm protrusions were prepared. A screw groove was formed on the inner peripheral surface of the shoulder, and a screw thread corresponding to the screw groove was formed on the outer peripheral surface of the protrusion. Further, a silicon carbide film having a thickness of 200 μm was formed on the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the substantially carbon cylindrical body in the same manner as in Example 1 above.
次いで、これらのカーボン製略円筒体同士を直接螺合締結して反応容器本体部を構成し、上記実施例1と同様に、配管及び加熱装置等をセットして反応炉として整えた。 Next, these carbon substantially cylindrical bodies were directly screwed together to constitute a reaction vessel main body, and in the same manner as in Example 1, piping and a heating device were set to prepare a reaction furnace.
この反応炉を、実施例1と同様に運転し、反応容器を解体してカーボン製略円筒体を観察したところ、カーボン製略円筒体表面に顕著な腐食は観察されなかったものの、カーボン製略円筒体の肩部に割れやひび割れが認められた。 When this reactor was operated in the same manner as in Example 1 and the reaction vessel was disassembled and the carbon substantially cylindrical body was observed, no significant corrosion was observed on the surface of the carbon substantially cylindrical body. Cracks and cracks were observed on the shoulder of the cylindrical body.
<実験の考察>
以上の比較実験から明らかなように、肩部や突出部を有しないカーボン製略円筒体の連結部をその外周側からカーボン製リングを用いて締結することにより、高温環境下で使用することによって連結部に生じ得る割れやひび割れの発生を防止することが可能である。
<Experimental considerations>
As is clear from the above comparative experiment, by using a carbon ring from the outer peripheral side of the connecting portion of the substantially cylindrical body made of carbon that does not have a shoulder portion or a protruding portion, it can be used in a high temperature environment. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of cracks and cracks that can occur in the connecting portion.
以上、本発明を実施例に基づいて説明した。この実施例はあくまで例示であり、種々の変形例が可能なこと、またそうした変形例も本発明の範囲にあることは当業者に理解されるところである。 In the above, this invention was demonstrated based on the Example. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that this embodiment is merely an example, and that various modifications are possible and that such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
