Uses of silicon tetrachloride and current market conditions
Thread Content
What are the uses of silicon tetrachloride and what is the current market situation?
Currently, there is a surge in polysilicon and trichlorosilane projects across the country. Behind this industry’s prosperity lies a serious crisis: silicon tetrachloride, a by-product, is difficult to handle, and inadequate management of this substance could become a bottleneck for the development of this industry. At present, the technology used by domestic polysilicon manufacturers to convert silicon tetrachloride into trichlorosilane is still quite backward; it involves high energy consumption, low conversion rates, and excessively high costs. The best current method in China for the \"digestion\" of silicon tetrachloride is to use it in the production of fumed silica. Vapor-phase silica is a type of nanopowder with a wide range of applications, and its production from silicon tetrachloride confers high added value. We possess the technology for producing fumed silica by vapor phase method, and have collaborated with several polysilicon manufacturers in China to build fumed silica production facilities using this method. We can provide a one-stop service covering the design, installation guidance, commissioning, and production management for a single set of vapor-phase silica production facility with an annual output of 1,000 tons. If you need to collaborate, please contact us (just send a message in the forum). We will cooperate with the other party at the most cost-effective technical service fee. Our mission is to revitalize the national industry and contribute to environmental protection.
It’s estimated that the market in 2009 won’t be as good as it was in 2008; there have been too many related projects launched recently, and several large projects will be completed in 2009 as well!

Reply to 2# hchglt2009: Friend, we need to work on this project. My QQ number is 260399703
However, with the successive introduction of vapor-phase silica in recent years, the domestic market has basically reached saturation, and there is even a slight surplus. On the other hand, high-end products with a specific surface area of over 200 and those that have been modified still need to be imported. It’s worth reflecting on!
