The article simulates the reaction distillation process for producing high-purity monosilane from trichlorosilane-containing impurities through a disproportionation reaction. Using reaction distillation method can solve the problems of low conversion rate and high impurity content in the disproportionation reaction of trichlorosilane. The optimal operating conditions are determined by adjusting the feed position, distillation ratio, reflux ratio, and residence time. The simulation results show that under the conditions of a feed position of the 21st plate, a distillation ratio of 0.2, a reflux ratio of 49.43, and a residence time of 20 s, the purity of silane can reach 5N, and the impurity content is reduced to 10-18, which can be directly used for the production of solar-grade polysilicon; or the purity of silane can reach 9N after purification, and then undergo thermal decomposition to produce electronic-grade polysilicon.
