The invention discloses a method and a device for removing
hydrogen-containing impurities from
germanium tetrachloride. The method comprises the steps of: using rectified
germanium tetrachloride as raw materials, adding
germanium tetrachloride with the purity being 4N-5N into a rectifying kettle for rectification, increasing the temperature of the kettle to 75-83 DEG C for rectification, keeping the
germanium tetrachloride to be in a sub-boiling state and feeding in
nitrogen with the flow rate being 30-40L / h to exhaust HCl gas, wherein exhaust time is no less than 6 hours; after the HCl gas is exhausted, continuously increasing the temperature of the kettle, and when all
sieve plates of a rectifying column are in a boiling state, starting to calculate total
reflux time, wherein the total
reflux time is no less than 3 hours; and after total
reflux is completed, turning on a switch of an
electromagnetic valve to adjust the reflux ratio to be 8:1 to 12:1, taking products at a front section, detecting the distilled
germanium tetrachloride, if the detected products satisfy the production requirement of the
germanium tetrachloride for optical fibers, putting the
electromagnetic valve on the side with the products being taken, and finally shifting to a filling process after the obtained germanium tetrachloride products are detected as acceptable. The method and the device for removing the
hydrogen-containing impurities from the germanium tetrachloride have the advantages that the technological process is simple, the operation is simple, the
hydrogen-containing impurities can be well removed from the germanium tetrachloride, and the industrial use value is very high.
