Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gas purification, and in particular to a method for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide and a device for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronics industries such as integrated circuits, optical fibers, and semiconductors, the application of electronic-grade carbon dioxide is becoming increasingly widespread. It is commonly used in oxidation, diffusion, chemical vapor deposition, and supercritical cleaning. Currently, the main carbon dioxide products on the market are industrial and food-grade, with purities ranging from 99.0% to 99.9%. Electronic-grade carbon dioxide has a higher purity, reaching above 99.999%.

[0003] The process for producing carbon dioxide typically involves pressurization, drying, dehydration, and liquefaction. If the feed gas contains a high hydrocarbon content, a catalytic oxidation stage is added after pressurization to remove the hydrocarbons. The catalytic oxidation stage operates at a reaction temperature of 300-450°C and requires the introduction of oxygen, which consumes significant energy. Furthermore, the refrigerants used in the liquefaction stage's freezers are ammonia and chlorine-containing refrigerants, which are both hazardous and environmentally harmful.

[0004] CN109336113A discloses a method for producing ultrapure carbon dioxide. The process involves vaporizing liquid carbon dioxide, heating, desulfurizing, catalytic conversion, adsorption drying, refrigeration, and purification. This process can produce 99.9995% electronic-grade ultrapure carbon dioxide. The catalytic conversion stage operates at a temperature of 300-500°C, resulting in high energy consumption.

[0005] CN109721054A discloses a production method and apparatus, including a dehydrogenation unit, a dehydration unit, a liquefaction unit, and a purification unit. The dehydrogenation unit utilizes a catalytic oxidation process, while the liquefaction unit uses liquid ammonia as a refrigerant. This leads to issues such as high energy consumption and the dangers of liquid ammonia.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a process for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide that avoids the use of a high-energy catalytic oxidation method for dehydrogenation when using a raw gas with a high hydrocarbon content to prepare electronic-grade carbon dioxide. Summary of the Invention

A method for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide and an apparatus for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide are provided. The preparation method uses epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas as raw gas and modified activated carbon as an adsorbent for dehydrogenation, avoiding the use of catalytic oxidation for dehydrogenation. While obtaining high-quality electronic-grade carbon dioxide, energy consumption is greatly reduced.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide, wherein the preparation method comprises: compressing the gas phase obtained by gas-liquid separation of epoxy decarburization regeneration gas, then dehydrogenating the obtained compressed gas, and then drying, liquefying and purifying the obtained dehydrogenated gas to obtain the electronic-grade carbon dioxide; wherein,

[0009] The content of total hydrocarbons in the epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas is less than or equal to 0.7 Vol%, and the content of epoxy alkylene is less than or equal to 10 ppm. The dehydrogenation method includes: contacting the compressed gas with modified activated carbon.

[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides an apparatus for preparing electronic-grade carbon dioxide, wherein the apparatus comprises: a coalescing separator, a compressor, an adsorption tower, a drying tower, a refrigerator, and a distillation tower connected in sequence;

[0011] The coalescing separator is used to separate the epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas into gas and liquid; the compressor is used to compress the gas phase obtained by the gas-liquid separation; the adsorption tower is used to dehydrogenate the compressed gas; the drying tower is used to dry the dehydrogenated gas obtained by the dehydrogenation; the refrigerator is used to liquefy the dried gas; and the distillation tower is used to purify the liquefied product to obtain electronic grade carbon dioxide.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] The present invention provides a method for producing electronic-grade carbon dioxide, comprising subjecting epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas to gas-liquid separation, compression, dehydrogenation, drying, liquefaction, and purification. The dehydrogenation is performed using modified activated carbon as an adsorbent. Using epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas with a total hydrocarbon content of less than or equal to 0.7% by volume and an alkylene oxide content of less than or equal to 10 ppm as feed gas, this method produces electronic-grade carbon dioxide, avoiding the need for catalytic oxidation for dehydrogenation. While producing high-quality electronic-grade carbon dioxide, it also significantly reduces energy consumption.

The obtained compressed gas is cooled to 35-45°C and then enters an adsorption tower (two groups of adsorption towers are set up, one group of adsorption towers is used for adsorption, and the modified activated carbon in the other group of adsorption towers is regenerated and cold-blown after use. The two groups of adsorption towers are used alternately, and nitrogen is used as the regeneration and cold-blowing medium), with a residence time of 10-30 minutes; the adsorption tower is filled with modified activated carbon (based on the total volume of the epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas being 1L, the amount of the modified activated carbon is 30-60g), and the hydrocarbon substances contained therein are removed to less than or equal to 2ppm.

The two towers are operated alternately, and the regeneration and cold-blowing medium is air) at 20-40 ° C for dehydration, with a residence time of 10-30 min; the drying tower is filled with molecular sieves (based on the total volume of the epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas being 1L, the amount of the molecular sieve is 30-60g) to reduce the water content to below 3ppm.

[0052] The following examples are used to illustrate the preparation of electronic grade carbon dioxide

[0053] Examples 1-8

[0054] The composition of the epoxy decarburization regeneration gas in Examples 1-8 is shown in Table 1.

[0055] Follow these steps to prepare electronic grade carbon dioxide:

[0056] The epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas first passes through a coalescing separator for gas-liquid separation (the filtration accuracy of the filter element is 1μm) to separate the tiny impurities contained therein. Then the gas phase flowing out of the coalescing separator enters the compressor for pressurization to 2.8MPa. The compressed gas obtained is cooled to 40°C and then enters the adsorption tower (two groups of adsorption towers are set up, one group of adsorption towers is used for adsorption, and the modified activated carbon in the other group of adsorption towers is regenerated and cold-blown after use. The two groups of adsorption towers are used alternately, and nitrogen is used as the regeneration and cold-blowing medium).

The dehydrocarbonized gas then enters the dehydration and drying section and is dehydrated in a drying tower at a temperature of 35°C (two drying towers are set up, one drying tower is used for drying, and the molecular sieve in the other drying tower is regenerated and cold-blown after use. The two towers are operated alternately, and air is used as the regeneration and cold-blowing medium).

[0057] The residence time is 30 minutes. The drying tower is filled with 3A molecular sieve (50g per 1L of epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas) to reduce the water content to below 3ppm. The drying gas enters a CO2 refrigerator for liquefaction at a refrigeration temperature of -25°C. The liquefied product is introduced into a distillation tower for purification at a pressure of 1.9 MPa and a temperature of -15°C. The liquid exiting the distillation tower is the electronic-grade CO2 product. The gaseous phase flowing out of the distillation tower exchanges heat with the dehydrogenated gas entering the drying tower.

[0058] The modified activated carbon is activated carbon loaded with copper particles and magnesium particles; based on the total weight of the modified activated carbon, the contents of the copper particles and the magnesium particles in the modified activated carbon are 1 wt% and 0.7 wt%, respectively;

[0060] Example 9

[0061] Electronic grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the specific surface area and average particle size of the modified activated carbon were different. The specific surface area of ​​the activated carbon was 1500 m 2 / g, with an average particle size of 5mm. Electronic grade carbon dioxide product was obtained.

[0062] Example 10

[0063] Electronic grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the average pore size and porosity of the modified activated carbon were different. The average pore size of the activated carbon was 20 nm and the porosity was 0.7 cm 3 / g. Electronic grade carbon dioxide product is obtained.

[0064] Example 11

[0065] Electronic-grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the modified activated carbon was loaded with iron particles. Specifically, the modified activated carbon was loaded with copper, magnesium, and iron particles; the average particle size of the iron particles was 30 nm; and the copper, magnesium, and iron particles were present in an amount of 1 wt%, 0.7 wt%, and 0.3 wt%, respectively, based on the total weight of the modified activated carbon. This resulted in an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product.

[0066] Example 12

[0067] Electronic-grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the modified activated carbon was loaded with only copper particles. Specifically, the modified activated carbon was loaded with copper particles; the copper content in the modified activated carbon was 1.7 wt % based on the total weight of the modified activated carbon. This resulted in an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product.

[0068] Example 13

[0069] Electronic-grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the modified activated carbon was different and copper particles of equal weight and average particle size were replaced with iron particles, thereby obtaining an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product.

[0070] Example 14

[0071] Electronic-grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the contents of copper and magnesium particles in the modified activated carbon were varied. Specifically, the contents of copper and magnesium particles were 0.5 wt% and 0.2 wt%, respectively, based on the total weight of the modified activated carbon. This resulted in an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product.

[0072] Example 15

[0073] Electronic-grade carbon dioxide was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the average particle sizes of the copper particles and the magnesium particles in the modified activated carbon were different: the average particle size of the copper particles was 12 nm, and the average particle size of the magnesium particles was 26 nm. Thus, an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product was obtained.

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] The carbon dioxide product was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that a carbon dioxide having a specific surface area of ​​2000 m 2 / g, average particle size is 3mm, average pore size is 30nm, and porosity is 0.8cm 3 / g of activated carbon can replace the same weight of modified activated carbon to obtain carbon dioxide product.

[0076] Comparative Example 2

[0077] The carbon dioxide product was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the composition of the epoxy decarburization regeneration gas was different. The composition of the epoxy decarburization regeneration gas is shown in Table 1. A carbon dioxide product was obtained.

[0078] Test Case

[0079] The composition of the epoxy decarburization regeneration gas used in each embodiment and comparative example and the composition and purity parameters of the obtained carbon dioxide product are shown in Table 1.

[0080] Table 1

[0081]

[0082] The results in Table 1 show that the carbon dioxide products prepared using the method of the present invention in Examples 1-15 all meet the standards for electronic-grade carbon dioxide. Comparative Example 1, however, uses activated carbon without metal particles in its pores for dehydrogenation, and Comparative Example 2 uses epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas feedstock with excessive total hydrocarbon and alkylene oxide contents. Although the carbon dioxide purity of the obtained carbon dioxide product reaches 99.999% or more, the total hydrocarbon content in the product exceeds the standard, and an electronic-grade carbon dioxide product cannot be obtained. This indicates that the method of the present invention, using modified activated carbon for dehydrogenation, has a good dehydrogenation effect on epoxy decarbonization regeneration gas with a total hydrocarbon content of less than or equal to 0.7 Vol% and an alkylene oxide content of less than or equal to 10 ppm, thereby obtaining high-quality electronic-grade carbon dioxide.

[0083] In addition, Example 9 changed the specific surface area and average particle size of the activated carbon in the modified activated carbon, Example 10 changed the average pore size and porosity of the activated carbon in the modified activated carbon, Examples 11-13 all changed the type of metal particles loaded on the modified activated carbon, Example 14 changed the content of copper and magnesium particles in the modified activated carbon, and Example 15 changed the average particle size of copper and magnesium particles in the modified activated carbon. Although the resulting carbon dioxide products all met electronic grade standards, the total hydrocarbon content increased compared to Example 1. This indicates that the properties of the activated carbon in the modified activated carbon, the type, content, and average particle size of the loaded metal particles all affect the dehydrogenation effect.

[0084] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, various simple variations of the technical solution of the present invention may be made, including combining the various technical features in any other appropriate manner. These simple variations and combinations should also be regarded as disclosed in the present invention and fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
