Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of NO purification, and in particular to a purification device and a purification method for removing NO2 and N2O from NO. Background Art
[0002] At present, NO has played a unique role in various fields such as medicine, electronics, and chemical industry. In medicine, it is used for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment in clinical experiments and as a stabilizer for organic reactions. In semiconductors, it is used for oxidation and chemical vapor deposition processes in production, and is used as a standard mixed gas for atmospheric monitoring.
[0003] In the chemical industry, it can be used to manufacture nitric acid, silicone oxide film and carbonyl nitrosyl, and can also be used as a bleaching agent for rayon, a stabilizer for propylene and dimethyl ether, and an emergency terminator in PVC production. For example, NO, which is used as an emergency terminator in PVC production, quickly terminates the polymerization of PVC monomers in the reactor when there is a power outage or an emergency accident to prevent the reactor from exploding due to excessive temperature. NO has obvious advantages over previous liquid terminators. It does not require N2 as a carrier gas, has a strong ability to bind PVC monomers, is fast, and has a long shelf life. However, the methods for producing NO gas widely now all contain NO2 gas, which combines with PVC monomers to form explosive chelates, posing a great safety hazard. Therefore, the NO2 gas content in NO gas must be strictly controlled (≤50ppm) when used, and the removal of NO2 and N2O impurities in NO is the main direction and difficulty of technical research at home and abroad.
