Numerical simulation of granular silicon growth and silicon fines formation process in polysilicon fluidized bed

Operating conditions strongly affect the yield and quality of polysilicon in a polysilicon fluidized bed.In this study,a new model of polysilicon fluidized bed was established using the Euler-Euler model coupled with population balance model(PBM),which was combined with fluid flow,heat,and mass transfer models,while considering the scavenging effect of silicon fines.The effects of different operating conditions on the deposition and formation rates of silicon fines were investigated.Results show that the model can correctly describe the particle growth process in the fluidized bed of polysilicon.The silicon fines and the interphase velocity difference show"N"-and"M"-shaped distributions along the axial direction,respectively.The particle temperature and concentration near the wall are higher than those in the central region.The decomposition of silane in the bottom region of the bed is dominated by het-erogeneous deposition.The scavenging of silicon fines occurs in the dilute-phase region.The effects of operating conditions,i.e.inlet gas temperature,silane composition,and gas velocity,on the reactor performance were also explored comprehensively.Increasing the inlet gas composition and velocity enhances the formation rates of solid silicon and fines.Increasing the inlet gas temperature promotes the growth of solid silicon and inhibits the formation of silicon fines.High fluidization ratio,low inlet silane concentration,and high inlet gas temperature enhance the selectivity of silicon growth.

GPS based checking survey and precise DEM development in Open mine

The checking survey in Open mine is one of the most frequent and important work.It plays the role of forming a connecting link between open mine planning and pro- duction.Traditional checking method has such disadvantages as long time consumption, heavy workload,complicated calculating process,and lower automation.Used GPS and GIS technologies to systematically study the core issues of checking survey in open mine. A detail GPS data acquisition coding scheme was presented.Based on the scheme an algorithm used for computer semiautomatic cartography was made.Three methods used for eliminating gross errors from raw data which were needed for creating DEM was dis- cussed.Two algorithms were researched and realized which can be used to create open mine fine DEM model with constrained conditions and to dynamically update the model. The precision analysis and evaluation of the created model were carried out.

Research on fine Spatial Quantitative Model about vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies

The seriousness of losses caused by disaster dependent on the hazard degree of environment,vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies,and emergency response capacity of the region is studied in this article.The study on hazard-affected bodies is of importance to disaster risk management,regional hazard prevention,reduction,and investment in disaster insurance.With summarizing of various assessment methods of vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies,this paper presents a refined Spatial Quantification Model of regional vulnerability which combines refined spatial geographic data and land-use type data.A quantitative study on regional vulnerability was carried out by defining fine spatial grid as the basic evaluation unit based on GIS.

Model predictions for behaviors of sand-nonplastic-fines mixtures using equivalent-skeleton void-ratio state index

It is a challenge to suggest a constitutive model for describing the stress-strain behavior of sand-fines mixtures due to that these granular mixtures exhibited very complex behaviors at different densities, pressures and fines contents. In this study, an elastoplastic constitutive model within the framework of the bounding surface plasticity and critical state theories was proposed for sand-nonplastic-fines mixtures by using the concept of the equivalent-skeleton void ratio and equivalent-skeleton void-ratio state index. The proposed model with a set of material constants calibrated from a few tests could be used to model the fines-dependent and state-dependent behaviors of the sand-nonplastic-fines mixture including the strain- softening and volumetric-expansion behaviors in the drained triaxial compression tests, and also the effects of fines content on the critical state lines in both the deviatoric stress versus mean effective stress and the void ratio versus mean effective stress planes.
