I have been conducting trials on producing "Fumed Silica" by hydrolized method & have obtained a white fluffy SiO2 of >99.5% purity. (Stage 1)However I feel the process to produce SiCl4 in a retort by reacting Si Metal >99% purity with vapourised Cl2 is elaborate. (Stage 2)After trapping & removing impurities higher chlorides Fe, Ti, Al etc. (Stage 3)the vapours are condensed into liquid SiCl4. (Stage 4)Assuming the liquid is in a crude form it is further refluxed & distilled to remove traces of chlorides. (Stage 5)The resultant vapours are then converted to pure liquid SiCl4 >99.5%. (Stage 6)This is again vapourised and mixed with a flow of O2 & H2 gas under controlled conditions to burn in a flame under a rotating cooled drum on which hydrolized SiO2 soot is deposited & scraped off. My Question is: Is it possible to produce SiCl4 of the same purity by bypassing stages 3,4,5 & 6 by just extracting or diverting the SiCl4 formed at Stage 1 i.e. at the far end of the retort & mixing it with the H2 gas directly at Stage 6 before feeding it into the burners? |

Of course. Just start with a higher purity Si. |
