Problems solved by technology

However, a gas phase purification system placed downstream of the gasification step may lead to changes in the concentration of inorganic halide and oxyhalide compounds in the gas stream
Also, gas phase purification systems can have unacceptably high pressure drops when placed after the vaporization of inorganic halide and oxyhalide compounds

Embodiment 1A

[0057] The following examples describe the conversion of liquid silicon tetrachloride (SiCl 4 )Remove impurities.

[0058] CBV 400 is a proton form, Y-type zeolite, with 730m 2 / g Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, SiO 2 / Al 2 o 3 The molar ratio is 5.1 and Na 2 O is 2.8% by weight. The zeolites were reduced in size using a Quaker City Grinding Mill Model F-4 (straub Co., division of Clinton Separators, Inc.; Philadelphia, PA) and classified by sieving to produce zeolites with a particle size greater than 425 microns. The size classified CBV 400 was then dried at about 150°C for about 6 hours under purged nitrogen. Nitrogen was supplied from a large Dewar bottle of liquid nitrogen and purged using a MYDROLIS(R) Inert Gas Purifier model no. WPGV202TI (MYKROLIS(R) is a trademark of Mykrolis Corporation; Billerica MA).

[0059] 10 ml of CBV 400 prepared as described above was placed in a 50 ml buret with a perfluoroalkoxylate (PFA) stopcock. PYREX(R) (trademark of...

Embodiment 1B

[0063] This example describes the use of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic analysis to determine the 4 Efficiency in removing molecular impurities.

[0064] SiCl was measured using a Nicolet Magna 560 FT-IR spectrometer (Thermo Nicolet Corp., Madison, WI) 4 The spectrum of the sample. The background spectrum of an empty 100 ml quartz cell from Wilmad (a division of SP Industries Inc., Buena, NJ) was measured and stored for use as SiCl 4 The background of the sample spectrum. Then, move the quartz cell to the glove box. Take a certain amount of SiCl from the large bottle 4 (99.998%, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich) for flush transfer syringes and quartz cells. Get more SiCl out of the big bottle 4 , filled with a quartz cell and encapsulated. The filled quartz cell was then removed from the glove box, rinsed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade isopropanol (IPA), and dried with a Kim-Wipe. Quickly place the quartz cell in the nitrogen-purg...

Embodiment 1C

[0068] This example describes the use of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to determine the 4 The efficiency of metal removal.

[0069] Zeolite purified SiCl prepared as described in Example 1A was performed by Chem Trace Inc. (Fremont, CA). 4 and SiCl 4 Analysis of metal content of comparative samples.

[0070] SiCl 4 The results of the metal analysis of the samples are shown in Table 1. Liquid SiCl purified using CBV 400 was observed 4 Shown as decreasing or unchanged concentrations of all metals except sodium, which changes from 10 per billion (10 9 ) increased from 1.6 parts per billion to 6.6 parts per billion (ppb).

[0071] Metal

[0072] CBV efficiently converts liquid SiCl 4 Removes molecular and metallic impurities. The observed increase in sodium concentration is believed to be due to the relatively high sodium oxide content in the CBV 400 zeolite.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods and apparatus for purifying inorganic halides and / or oxyhalides. In one embodiment, the method of the present invention includes contacting an inorganic halide or oxyhalide feed liquid with a zeolite to produce a purified inorganic halide or oxyhalide liquid. In one embodiment, the zeolite is a type-Y zeolite in a hydrogen form. In another aspect, the present invention includes an apparatus for purifying an inorganic halide or oxyhalide. The apparatus comprises: (a) a liquid filtration housing including a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; and (b) a type-Y zeolite in a hydrogen form. Molecular and / or ionic impurities can be removed from the feed liquid using a filtration media that includes a zeolite. In a preferred embodiment, both molecular and ionic impurities are removed from the feed liquid using filtration media that includes a zeolite.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 554,768, filed March 19, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Inorganic halides and oxyhalides, such as silicon tetrachloride (SiCl 4 ), germanium tetrachloride (GeCl 4 ) and phosphorus oxychloride (POCl 3 ), are of particular interest in numerous industries including optical fiber manufacturing and semiconductor equipment manufacturing. The level of impurities in these substances is often very critical to the appearance and / or performance of the finished product. [0003] SiCl for the production of electronic grade silicon 4 The impurity content in silicon affects the purity of single-crystal silicon wafers and limits the density of circuits formed on the wafer. POCl used in semiconductor equipment process to improve electrical conductivity of polysilicon 3 The presence of metal contaminants in the ...
