Provided is a method and a device for recovering and purifying
argon in
monocrystalline silicon production. The method comprises firstly conducting coarse oil removal on
argon recovered from a
single crystal furnace, compressing, cooling and conducting high-precision oil removal and dedusting; secondly enabling
hydrocarbon such as
methane and
carbon monoxide to be reacted with
oxygen to generate water and
carbon dioxide through a high temperature catalytic reaction and guaranteeing the
oxygen to be excessive in the catalytic reaction; thirdly enabling excessive
oxygen to be reacted with added
hydrogen to generate the water under effects of a catalytic agent after cooling and enabling
argon after two catalytic reactions to penetrate through a normal temperature adsorption unit to absorb the water and the
carbon dioxide; cooling the argon, sending a low temperature rectifying
tower, enabling the argon, the
nitrogen and the
hydrogen to produce rectification separation, obtaining pure
liquid argon, and conducting repeated heating to obtain pure argon products. The device mainly comprises an
oil filter, a catalytic reactor of the
hydrocarbon of high temperature
catalytic oxidation carbon monoxide and
methane and the like, a normal temperature hydrogenation deoxygenization catalytic reactor, a normal temperature adsorption unit for absorbing the
carbon dioxide and the water at the normal temperature and the low temperature rectifying
tower for rectifying and separating the
hydrogen and the
nitrogen at the low temperature. The device has the advantages of being high in argon
recovery rate, high in purity of recovered argon, low in
oxygen content, low in
energy consumption for
recovery and purification and the like.
