Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fluorine-containing fine chemical synthesis, and specifically relates to a device and a method for improving the efficiency of synthesizing tungsten hexafluoride in a fluidized bed reactor. Background Art

[0002] Tungsten hexafluoride is an electronic gas widely used in the field of ultra-large-scale circuits and semiconductor materials. As the main raw material of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, tungsten hexafluoride is the main chemical gas used to manufacture large-scale integrated circuits. At present, the industry generally uses tungsten and fluorine gas or NF3 to directly react to synthesize tungsten hexafluoride, but both of them have the disadvantages of small gas-solid reaction contact area and low reaction efficiency.

[0003] After consulting the literature, we know that particles with different particle sizes have different fluidization properties. Fine particles (170um~1700um) are easier to fluidize than coarse particles (1700um~2500um). If the particles are too fine (5um~170um), it is difficult to achieve fluidization due to the strong drag between the particles. Particles that are too coarse can only be used in solid phase processing processes such as roasting and drying.

[0004] The application with announcement number CN101723465A discloses a method and apparatus for preparing tungsten hexafluoride using a fluidized bed reactor, and discloses a method of fluidizing tungsten powder by injecting pressurized inert gas into the reactor. Although this method produces a high-purity product, the introduction of inert gas increases the separation of gas impurities.

[0005] The announcement number is CN101428858A, a method for preparing high-purity tungsten hexafluoride in a fluidized bed and its equipment, which discloses a method of passing fluorine gas into a fluidized bed reactor, continuously passing tungsten powder into the reactor, and nitrogen entering the reactor from a gas distributor at the bottom of the reactor to suspend the tungsten powder in the reactor. Non-condensable impurities in the reactor gas product are removed by a vacuum system. The product gas prepared by this method has high purity, but the fluorinating agent is fluorine gas, which has poor safety, and introduces inert gas nitrogen impurities, which increases the difficulty of separation.

[0006] Announcement No. CN108946816A discloses a method for preparing tungsten hexafluoride and a reactor thereof, which discloses a vertical tubular reactor that improves reaction efficiency through a secondary reaction. Fluorine gas is used as a fluorinating agent, resulting in poor safety of the method, and the final fluorine gas reaction efficiency is above 95%, and the reaction efficiency still needs to be improved.

[0007] In summary, the existing industrial preparation methods of tungsten hexafluoride generally have the disadvantages of introducing inert gas impurities, great difficulty in separation, and poor system safety, while fine-grained tungsten powder has the disadvantage of being difficult to achieve stable fluidization.

The first raw material tank 1 and the second raw material tank 2 are two independent tanks, both for storing NF3 gas. The two raw material tanks are connected in parallel, that is, they each have an independent outlet valve, but the outlet valves are combined into a main delivery pipeline through a three-way joint or a similar device, and the pipeline directly extends to the bottom of the reactor 3. Such a design not only ensures the stability of the raw material supply, but also facilitates switching or maintenance when necessary. The stirring tank 10 of this embodiment is made of stainless steel, and a stirring device is provided inside the stirring tank 10. The stirring device includes a driving motor, a stirring shaft and a plurality of stirring blades. The driving motor is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the stirring tank 10, and the driving shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft.

First, metal nickel powder and tungsten powder are put into the stirring tank 10 in proportion through an automatic feeding device, and the preliminary mixing is uniform, which helps to achieve the fluidization of tungsten powder. The reactor 3 of this embodiment is an in-line tubular fluidized reactor, and the material of the reactor 3 is monel alloy; the reactor 3 of this embodiment has multiple advantages of efficient heat and mass transfer, low pressure loss, easy maintenance and cleaning, high corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, which ensures the stable operation of the reactor 3 in harsh chemical environments and improves production efficiency and equipment life.

[0032] The separation unit of this embodiment includes a cyclone separation device for solid-gas separation and a collection device for collecting metal powders. The cyclone separation device includes a primary cyclone separator 4 and a secondary cyclone separator 5. The primary cyclone separator 4 and the secondary cyclone separator 5 are connected in series. The top of the primary cyclone separator 4 is connected to the reactor 3, and the secondary cyclone separator 5 is connected to the heat exchanger 6. In this embodiment, by connecting the primary cyclone separator 4 and the secondary cyclone separator 5 in series, efficient solid-gas separation is achieved, and metal nickel and tungsten powders are effectively collected. The primary cyclone separator 4 directly receives the material at the outlet of the reactor 3 and preliminarily removes large particles; the secondary cyclone separator 5 further refines the separation to ensure gas purity.

[0033] The collecting device includes a primary dust collecting tank 8 and a secondary dust collecting tank 9. The primary dust collecting tank 8 is connected to the bottom of the primary cyclone separator 4, the secondary dust collecting tank 9 is connected to the bottom of the secondary cyclone separator 5, and the bottoms of the primary dust collecting tank 8 and the secondary dust collecting tank 9 are both connected to the reactor 3; the primary dust collecting tank 8, the secondary dust collecting tank 9, the primary cyclone separator 4 and the secondary cyclone separator 5 are all made of stainless steel.

The collecting device of this embodiment is connected to the primary cyclone separator 4 and the secondary cyclone separator 5 respectively through the primary dust collecting tank 8 and the secondary dust collecting tank 9 made of stainless steel, thereby ensuring efficient metal powder collection and corrosion resistance. The access to the high-pressure nitrogen pipeline not only helps to clean the pipeline, but also can safely and efficiently press the metal powder nickel powder and tungsten powder into the stirring tank 10 to achieve the recycling of the powder.

[0034] The product collection unit of this embodiment includes a heat exchanger 6 for cooling tungsten hexafluoride and a collection tank 7 for collecting the product tungsten hexafluoride. One end of the heat exchanger 6 is connected to the secondary cyclone separation gas, and the other end is connected to the collection tank 7.

The material of the heat exchanger 6 is stainless steel, which not only has high heat exchange efficiency, but also has excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the heat exchanger 6.

[0036] Implementation principle of this device: Before the experiment begins, ensure that the first raw material tank 1 and the second raw material tank 2 are filled with NF3 gas, and the valves of the two tanks are in a closed state. Metal nickel powder and tungsten powder are fed into the stirring tank 10 through an automatic feeding device according to a predetermined ratio. Start the driving motor of the stirring tank 10, and the stirring shaft drives the stirring blades to rotate, and the metal nickel powder and tungsten powder are preliminarily mixed in the stirring tank 10, which helps to achieve the fluidization of the tungsten powder. The evenly mixed material enters the in-line tubular fluidized reactor through a pipeline from the stirring tank 10. The interior of the reactor 3 is filled with bulk fillers, which can be ball rings or Raschig rings or a combination of the two fillers to improve the reaction efficiency.

[0037] Open the outlet valve of the first raw material tank 1 or the second raw material tank 2 (usually open one first and the other as a backup), and the NF3 gas enters the reactor 3 through the pipeline connected in parallel with the first raw material tank 1 and the second raw material tank 2 to mix and react with the metal powder. In the reactor 3, the NF3 gas and the metal powder react chemically at high temperature. The reacted material (containing tungsten hexafluoride gas and unreacted metal powder) enters the primary cyclone separator 4 from the reactor 3. The primary cyclone separator 4 preliminarily separates the large particles of metal powder in the material through centrifugal force and falls into the primary dust collecting tank 8. The separated gas (containing tungsten hexafluoride and small particles of metal powder) enters the secondary cyclone separator 5 for further refinement and separation. The secondary cyclone separator 5 separates the small particles of metal powder in the gas and falls into the secondary dust collecting tank 9.

[0038] The metal powder in the primary dust collecting tank 8 and the secondary dust collecting tank 9 is pressed back to the stirring tank 10 through the high-pressure nitrogen pipeline to achieve the recycling of the powder. The pure tungsten hexafluoride gas separated by the secondary cyclone separator 5 enters the shell and tube heat exchanger 6 for cooling treatment. The cooled tungsten hexafluoride gas enters the collection tank 7 for collection. The collection tank 7 is also connected to a gas analyzer for detecting gas purity to ensure that the product quality meets the requirements. When the entire test is completed, all valves and power supplies should be closed, the equipment should be disconnected, and the stirring tank 10, reactor 3, cyclone separator, dust collecting tank and heat exchanger 6 and other equipment should be cleaned and maintained.
