Background technology
Agricultural wastes are meant the general name of the waste that produces in processes such as agriculture production, processing of farm products, mainly comprise shell fruit stone, stalk, rice husk, corn cob, branch fallen leaves and weeds etc., have enormous amount, renewable, the regeneration period short, characteristics such as biodegradable.Being rich in carbon and element silicon in these agricultural wastes, is important carbon silicon resource.China is a large agricultural country, and the annual number that produces is in hundred million tons various agricultural wastes, however most of agricultural wastes directly abandoned in the field, formed serious wasting of resources problem and environmental problem.The resource utilization of agricultural wastes and innoxious be the effective way that realizes agricultural sustainable development at present.
The application of elemental silicon and present Research: highly purified elemental silicon (Si) is the core material of information industry. contain a large amount of element silicons in the earth's crust, its content is only second to the oxygen of identical type.At present the preparation elemental silicon mainly adopts following method: 1. SiO
2Si+the 2Cl of+2C===Si+2CO ↑ 2.
2The SiCl of===
4SiCl
4+ 2H
2Si+the 4HCl of===.Two kinds of methods all need hot environment (more than 1200 degree).The application of elemental silicon is very extensive, is important semiconductor material by obtaining high-purity silicon single crystal after lifting.In silicon single crystal, mix the group III A element of trace, form p type silicon semiconductor; Mixing the VA family element of trace, form n type and p N-type semiconductorN and combine, will be excellent solar cell, be a kind of up-and-coming material aspect develop energy.With elemental silicon and ceramic mixed sintering, inherited the advantage separately of metal and pottery, remedied both birth defects again, be sintering metal, cosmonautic important materials.In addition, adopting elemental silicon is that raw material also can prepare high performance silica fiber, silicon sol and poly(oxygen-silicon) material etc.
Because agricultural wastes are through loosely organized after the pyrolysis, impurity is wherein easily removed, and prepares elemental silicon by agricultural wastes, and the purity of gained elemental silicon helps directly using or carrying out further processing treatment more than 99%.
