[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention includes a tank 11, on which an upper temperature regulating cavity 12 and a lower temperature regulating cavity 16 are provided on the outer side wall. The upper part of the tank 11 is connected to multiple lower air inlet pipes, which are connected to the upper air inlet pipe 1 through a split air pipe 4. An upper outlet 26 and a lower outlet 25 are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of the tank 11. Temperature and pressure measuring devices are provided on the sides of both the upper outlet 26 and the lower outlet 25.

[0029] In this embodiment, the lower air inlet pipe includes a first lower air inlet pipe 7-1, a second lower air inlet pipe 7-2, and a third lower air inlet pipe 7-3. The first lower air inlet pipe 7-1, the second lower air inlet pipe 7-2, and the third lower air inlet pipe 7-3 extend into the tank body 11 and the positions of their air outlet ports are sequentially raised. The air outlet ports of the first lower air inlet pipe 7-1, the second lower air inlet pipe 7-2, and the third lower air inlet pipe 7-3 are pointed.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first lower air inlet pipe 7-1, the second lower air inlet pipe 7-2, and the third lower air inlet pipe 7-3 are provided with uniformly distributed side micro-holes on the pipe wall of the tank body 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, the temperature and pressure measuring device located beside the upper outlet 26 includes an upper pressure gauge 9 and an upper temperature gauge 10, and the temperature and pressure measuring device located beside the lower outlet 25 includes a lower pressure gauge 18 and a lower temperature gauge 19.

[0032] In this embodiment, an upper outlet valve 8 is connected to the upper outlet 26, a lower outlet valve 17 is connected to the lower outlet 25, an air intake master valve 3 is provided on the upper air intake pipe 1, a mid-position air intake valve 6 is provided on the second lower air intake pipe 7-2, a high-position air intake valve 5 is provided on the third lower air intake pipe 7-3, and an air intake pressure gauge 2 is connected to the upper air intake pipe 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, an upper temperature regulating cavity 12 is provided with an upper regulating cavity inlet 23 and an upper regulating cavity outlet 21 on both sides. An upper regulating cavity inlet valve 13 is connected to the upper regulating cavity inlet 23, and an upper regulating cavity outlet valve 14 is connected to the upper regulating cavity outlet 21. A lower temperature regulating cavity 16 is provided with a lower regulating cavity inlet 24 and a lower regulating cavity outlet 22 on both sides. A lower regulating cavity inlet valve 20 is connected to the lower regulating cavity inlet 24, and a lower regulating cavity outlet valve 15 is connected to the lower regulating cavity outlet 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper temperature regulating cavity 12 and the lower temperature regulating cavity 16 have the same volume.

[0035] When in use, open the main intake valve 3. At this time, the intake pressure is observed through the intake pressure gauge 2. At this time, the high-position intake valve 5, the middle-position intake valve 6, the upper outlet valve 8, and the lower outlet valve 17 are in the closed state.

[0036] When the hot tungsten hexafluoride gas with a certain temperature after the reaction enters the tank 11, if the temperature at the inlet is too low, below the freezing point of 2.3℃, a single inlet will be blocked instantly without feedback, preventing the gas from entering the tank 11. If multiple inlets are set up and a more precise temperature fine-tuning system is implemented, the gas can enter in batches without blocking the pipeline.

[0037] Specifically, initially, the high-position air inlet valve 5, the middle-position air inlet valve 6, the upper outlet valve 8, and the lower outlet valve 17 are closed. The upper temperature regulating chamber 12 and the lower temperature regulating chamber 16 adjust the temperature in the tank, so that the temperature of the upper thermometer 10 is 4°C.

[0038] The reaction gas enters through the upper inlet pipe 1 and is cooled and recovered as gas. As the gas enters, the temperature reading on the upper thermometer 10 increases, and then the temperature is finely adjusted through the upper temperature regulating chamber 12 and the lower temperature regulating chamber 16. If the adjustment is excessive, the lower end of the first lower inlet pipe 7-1 may solidify and block the gas, preventing it from entering. The pressure on the inlet pressure gauge 2 will increase, which is detrimental to the upstream reaction. Therefore, the gas needs to be output smoothly to the tank.

[0039] Immediately open or simultaneously open the middle-position inlet valve 6, allowing gas to enter from the lower end of the second lower inlet pipe 7-2. This then opens the high-position inlet valve 5, allowing gas to enter from the third lower inlet pipe 7-3. This ensures gas can enter the tank smoothly within a small range (this range varies depending on the tank's capacity, especially with changes in height, generally around 10°C or more), allowing the reaction to proceed normally. Simultaneously, make minor adjustments to the upper temperature regulating chamber 12 and the lower temperature regulating chamber 16, ensuring the upper thermometer 10 reaches the set value of approximately 4°C. The first lower inlet pipe 7-1 and the second lower inlet pipe 7-2 will automatically and gradually open. Alternatively, the high-position inlet valve 5 and the middle-position inlet valve 6 can remain open. This cycle continues, allowing gas to continuously enter and the reaction to proceed without interruption, resulting in gas collection.

[0040] During separation, ensure the temperature is above 18℃, adjust the amplitude of the upper temperature regulating chamber 12 and the lower temperature regulating chamber 16 to ensure the upper inlet thermometer 10 is above 18℃, and open the upper outlet valve 8 to allow the tungsten hexafluoride gas to be separated and output. Repeat multiple times.

[0041] Based on the characteristics of the impurities, adjust the temperature to below 2.3 and open the lower outlet valve 17 to discharge the heavy components in the tank through the lower outlet 25.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention in any way. Any simple modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the inventive essence shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
