  FEASIBILITY STUDIES ON A DISTILLATION CASCADE FOR PRODUCTION OF ULTRA-HIGH PURITY TRICHLOROSILANE

  By Rupsha Bhattacharyya, Sanjay Mahajani, Rajesh Kumar

  Abstract: Elemental silicon is the backbone of the electronics and the solar photovoltaics industry in the present times. This work examines the purification of a silicon precursor such that the total impurity content in it is limited to a few parts per million. Trichlorosilane (TCS) is one of the most important precursors in the production of electronics grade elemental silicon. This is because of the relative ease with which crude trichlorosilane, …

  Comparative analysis of low and high pressure water electrolysis using nuclear waste heat for sustainable hydrogen production in India

  By Rupsha Bhattacharyya, Sandeep K C, Sachin Kamath, Krunal Mistry

  Abstract: Hydrogen has been proposed as a clean and sustainable vector of the decarbonized energy system of the near future. Generation of hydrogen gas from a relatively easily available resource like water through low temperature water electrolysis is a simple, technologically mature alternative for realizing the vision of hydrogen economy. This work examines the techno-economic feasibility aspects of a water electrolysis based hydrogen production plant when coupled with typical nuclear power …
