The hydrolysis of methyltrichlorosilane produces a large amount of foam
Thread Content
Our company currently produces methyltrichlorosilane by chlorination with chlorine gas; the resulting exhaust gases are absorbed by spraying water onto them. The water used in the spray tower is filtered through a pressure filter and then pumped back into the tower for reuse in the circulation process. Previously, production was going well, and the residue resulting from hydrolysis could be easily removed. But in recent days, a large amount of foam has started to appear in the spray tower, making it impossible to remove that foam at all; this has severely affected production. I hope someone experienced can help figure out what’s going on.
Is it the insufficient filtration precision that has allowed impurities to get in?
