Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of boron removal resins, and more specifically, to a method for treating boron removal resins and its related applications. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic-grade ultrapure water is an essential material for the production of high-end semiconductors, such as chips and panels. Ultrapure water used in chip manufacturing has extremely low ion content and extremely low organic matter leaching (according to ASTM standards, all metal ions should be <0.005 μg / L, and specifically, boron content should be less than 0.001 μg / L, TOC <1 ppb). Conventional treatment processes use a polishing mixed-bed mode to achieve deep removal of ions and boron. To improve the service life of the polishing resin, an additional electronic-grade boron removal resin stage can be added to remove trace ions.

[0003] Conventional boron removal resins are generally used for boron removal before seawater desalination and for boron removal in drinking water. Resins without special treatment have problems such as low conversion rate, low cleanliness, and insufficient treatment precision. When used in electronic-grade ultrapure water, they can cause a decrease in the resistivity of the original ultrapure water, a significant increase in TOC, and excessive metal ions at the outlet, resulting in a significant decline in water quality. Therefore, they are not suitable for electronic-grade applications.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0060] In some embodiments, the step of chloromethylating the intermediate includes:

[0061] Chloromethyl ether is prepared by adding thionyl chloride or sulfonyl chloride dropwise to a mixture of methyl acetal and paraformaldehyde and stirring. Chloromethyl ether is then prepared by adding thionyl chloride or sulfonyl chloride dropwise to the mixture of methyl acetal and paraformaldehyde. The intermediate is added to the prepared chloromethyl ether and soaked for 2–4 hours. After reacting with a catalyst for 0.5–1.5 hours, paraformaldehyde is added and stirred until homogeneous.
