Solar Grade Silicon Production In Fluidized Bed Reactor

Oct 17, 2011
Juan Du
In this work, we present a multi-scale modeling approach for solar grade silicon production in fluidized bed reactor (FBR) by thermal decomposition of silane. The FBR process has been commercialized by several companies and promises to deliver poly-silicon at reasonable and stable price. Silane...

Deflagration Venting for Combustible Dusts - What You Need to Know

AIChE Webinar
Jan 26, 2011
Michelle Murphy, Molly Myers

Deflagration venting is one of six possible explosion protection options for combustible dust handling equipment in NFPA 654. To use this option, you must reference back to NFPA 68 where the requirements for sizing vents are located.
