- Summary
- Major activities period centered on process system properties, chemical engineering and economic analyses. In analyses of process system properties, major efforts focused on properties of silicon tetrachloride which is the source material for several alternate processes under consideration for solar cell grade silicon production. The status and progress are reported for physical, thermodynamic and transport property data. Experimental determination of gaseous thermal conductivity of silicon source materials was continued. For chemical engineering analyses, the preliminary process design for the original silane process was completed for Cases A and B, Regular and Minimum Process Storage. Included are raw material useage, utility requirements, major process equipment list, and production labor requirements. The preliminary process design results for Cases A and B were used for economic analyses.
