[0002] Triethyl borate, also known as ethyl borate, triethoxyborane, or TEB for short, has low toxicity and volatility. It is a colorless, transparent liquid that is miscible with ethanol and ether and easily decomposes into alcohol and boric acid when in contact with water. Currently, the main production method of triethyl borate is to synthesize it using ethanol and boric acid as raw materials.

[0003] According to different uses, it can be divided into industrial-grade triethyl borate and electronic-grade triethyl borate. Industrial-grade triethyl borate can be used as a solvent, catalyst, preservative, lubricant, plasticizer, plasticizer, cosolvent, etc. It is a widely used organic compound. Electronic-grade triethyl borate is mainly used in the deposition process of wafer manufacturing to form borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG).

The conversion rate of the product is significantly improved. By fully grinding the boric acid and dissolving it in ethanol, the reaction can be more effectively promoted, ultimately obtaining a higher product yield and better product quality.

[0023] (3) In the initial product separation stage, ethanol raw material is extracted from the top of the product separation tower, and the ethanol is dehydrated and can be used as raw material and returned to the reactor for recycling, thereby saving costs and improving economic efficiency.

[0024] (4) Before light and heavy removal, a crude dehydration tower is used to remove water from the crude triethyl borate, which not only controls the water content of the crude triethyl borate, but also prevents the triethyl borate from being hydrolyzed by water to produce other impurities.

[0025] (5) The optimized distillation operating temperature and pressure range, as well as the reasonable reflux ratio setting, not only improve the purification efficiency, but also effectively reduce energy consumption, making the production process more economical and efficient.

[0026] (6) Using two-stage filtration in the lightness removal tower and before filling can more effectively control the particulate impurities in the product and ensure that the particulate matter index is stable and meets the standard. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
