Silicon Tetrachloride Production Cost Reports

Silicon Tetrachloride production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Silicon Tetrachloride production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Silicon Tetrachloride. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Silicon Tetrachloride is a colorless fuming liquid that is composed of one silicon and four chlorine atoms. It is a corrosive liquid with a molecular weight of 169.9 g/mol. Its density is density 1.52 g/mL. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -70 °C and 59 °C, respectively. It is a non-flammable chemical, with s suffocating odor.

The compound is soluble in some of the chemical solvents, such as benzene, ether, and chloroform. Similarly, it is miscible with petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, tin tetrachloride, sulfur mono or dichloride, along with titanium chloride. However, it reacts when combined with water. It reacts with water resulting in an exothermic reaction and produces silicic acid and hydrochloric acid. Its vapor pressure is measured at 236 mm Hg at 25 °C. It decomposes by heating the liquid at high temperatures while emitting strong fumes of hydrogen chloride. It is a clear, corrosive chemical liquid that can corrode metals in the presence of water. The compound can be polymerized easily under the required conditions.

It belongs to the family of chlorosilanes, which has several applications associated with different market sectors. The chemical is majorly used in synthesizing silicon-based compounds. It is also considered an analytical liquid that is utilized in analytical chemistry.

It is often used as a raw material or as an intermediate in the preparation of metallurgical-grade silicon, silica, or other silicon-based compounds. It plays a vital role in the production of high-quality fumed silica. It is utilized as a precursor in the preparation of orthosilicate acid esters such as tetraethoxysilane and tetraethoxysilane. Its derivatives are further used as raw materials in manufacturing aerogels, which are further used in automotive, pharmaceutical, and construction operations.
