Nonclogging Liquid-Sodium Nozzles
Abstract
Reacting liquid sodium with gaseous silicon tetrafluoride effective way of producing high-purity silicon for solar cells; but liquid sodium is such active substance, it readily clogs nozzle through which it is introduced into reactor. Flowing through constriction around sodium-delivery nozzle, silicon tetrafluoride gas cools liquid sodium emerging from nozzle. Sodium-delivery nozzle consists of stainless-steel tube with one-fourth inch outside diameter.
