Rg. Aivazyan et al., KINETIC REGULARITIES AND PRODUCTS OF THE THERMAL-DECOMPOSITION OF DICHLOROSILANE, Kinetics and catalysis, 36(2), 1995, pp. 162-167
The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of dichlorosilane is studied
in quartz reactors, including reactors coated with MgO, in a stainles
s-steel reactor at 300 - 900 K and 100 - 6500 Pa. Hydrogen, trichloros
ilane, and tetrachlorosilane are found to be the principal reaction pr
oducts. The conversion increases with temperature. The dependence of t
he decomposition rate on the dichlorosilane concentration is presented
by the expression W = k[SiH2Cl2](3/2) the effective activation energy
is equal to 180 +/- 12 kJ/mol.
