Equipment and process for preparing silicon oxides

1. Equipment for preparing silicon oxides comprises at least one tank having an opening at at least one end thereof and defining a reaction unit and a collection unit, and a collector removably received in said collection unit proximate the opening; the collection unit being equipped with a cooling device sleeved on the collection unit and being sized such that the cooling device cools only the collection unit; wherein the reaction unit is used for placing raw materials therein; the collector being placed at the opening of the tank; the equipment further including a heating furnace which receives the reaction unit of the at least one tank; the at least one tank being sized relative to the heating furnace such that the collection unit, cooling device, and opening are all outside the heating furnace, whereby the heating furnace heats only the reaction unit; the tank comprising a port to place the tank in communication with to a vacuum; and a tank lid is used for opening or closing the opening of the tank.

2. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the heating furnace is connected with air.

3. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the heating furnace is heated electrically or by combustion.

4. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the collector is a tubular structure having an opening at at least one end.

5. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the collector has a taper and defines a small end, and the small end of the collector is directed toward the tank lid.

6. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the port is located in the collection unit.

7. The equipment for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cooling device comprises a cooling jacket sleeved on the collection unit, and is used for circulation cooling via cooling media.

8. A process for preparing silicon oxides, wherein the preparation process comprises the following steps by using the equipment claimed in claim 1 :

step 1, turning on the heating furnace;

step 2, turning on the cooling device;

step 3, opening the tank lid, mixing Si powder and SiO 2 powder as raw materials and placing them into the reaction unit, placing the collector into the collection unit, and closing the tank lid;

step 4, subjecting the tank to a vacuum via the port;

step 5, continuing to run the heating furnace and the cooling device after the completion of the reaction of the raw materials in the tank, opening the tank lid, taking out the collector, placing new raw materials into the reaction unit, placing a new collector into the collection unit, closing the tank lid, subjecting the tank to a vacuum via the port, starting a next reaction, and peeling off the silicon oxide product from the collector taken out of the collection unit; and

step 6, repeating step 5 until the end of the preparation.

9. The process for preparing silicon oxides as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the tank has a loading capacity of 2-200 KG; the heating furnace has a temperature of 1100-1400° C.; the tank has a vacuum degree of 0.1-10000 Pa; the cooling device has a temperature of 100-800° C.; and the period between placing a new collector in step 5 and taking out the collector in step 6 is from 2-60 h.
