Latest Patent Applications
Christopher Nelan has filed a patent application titled "Method for Generating High Sphericity Seed and Fluidized Bed Granular Silicon." This invention discloses a method for generating high sphericity seed for the operation of a fluidized bed reactor to produce granular polysilicon. The method involves using fluidized bed granular silicon as a raw material, which is processed through a roll crusher apparatus. By adjusting the roller gap width, silicon particles larger than the gap are crushed, while smaller particles pass through. This process generates high sphericity seeds that are recycled back into the fluidized bed reactor, enhancing the production of granular silicon. The invention aims to improve the porosity of the fluidized bed reactor and reduce the formation of silicon powder, thereby mitigating negative impacts associated with lower sphericity seeds.
Conclusion
Christopher Nelan's contributions to polysilicon technology through his innovative methods highlight the importance of advancements in this field. His work aims to enhance the efficiency and quality of granular silicon production.
