Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of low silicon oil removal, in particular to a kind of ultra-low volatile silicon oil atomization low removal device and low removal process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Silicone oil, usually by octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) or cyclotetrasiloxane mixture (DMC) as main body, add end-capping agent (such as hexamethyldisiloxane, tetramethyldivinylsiloxane, etc.), under acid / base conditions, polymerization, removal low molecule and are prepared.

[0003] With the widening of application field and the upgrading of product, the market demand for the quality of silicone oil is higher and higher, and volatile fraction is the most basic and important quality index of silicone oil. The volatile fraction in silicone oil has a great influence on the products in the fields of aerospace, electronic glue, medical glue, etc. In the field of chip semiconductor, the customer's requirement for the volatile fraction of silicone oil is increased from 0.5% (200℃*4h) to 0.3% (200℃*4h). For the volatile fraction of silicone oil, the low removal process of silicone oil in the market is gradually changed from single-kettle high-temperature vacuum low removal to thin-film evaporator low removal. If further reduction of volatile fraction of silicone oil is required, short-path distillation device is used again. The low removal technology has a certain improvement on the volatile fraction of silicone oil, but the energy consumption and efficiency are relatively not ideal. At present, the organic silicon market is in a downturn, and it is urgent to reduce cost and increase efficiency for the industry, so the low removal technology of silicone oil needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0004] To produce ultra-low volatile silicone oil, the present application provides a kind of ultra-low volatile silicone oil atomization low removal device and low removal process.

[0005] The low removal device includes a preheater, a low removal device, a heavy component tank, a light component tank, a cold trap and a vacuum system. The preheater is connected to the side feed inlet of the low removal device. The bottom of the low removal device is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the heavy component tank. The bottom of the low removal device is provided with a light component outlet, which is connected to the light component tank.

[0006] Further, the feed inlet of the low removal device is connected to a distribution pipe, and a plurality of nozzles are arranged on the distribution pipe. The angle of the nozzles is 90°-120°.

[0007] Further, a condenser pipe is arranged in the low removal device. The condenser pipe has a cold water inlet and a cold water outlet. Each condenser pipe has a flower plate on both sides. The lowest point of the area between the flower plates is connected to the light component outlet.

[0008] Further, a gas phase outlet is arranged on the side of the low removal device. The gas phase outlet is connected to the cold trap. The discharge port at the bottom of the cold trap is connected to the light component tank. The gas phase outlet of the cold trap is connected to the vacuum system.

[0009] Further, the cold trap has a chilled water inlet and a chilled water outlet, and is connected to -15 to -5℃ chilled water.

[0010] In the technical solution of the present application, the preheater is connected to a side feed inlet of the low-removal device, the feed inlet is connected to a distribution pipe, the distribution pipe has a plurality of nozzles for spraying the silicone oil in mist form, the bottom of the spraying area is provided with a heavy component outlet, the heavy component outlet is connected to a heavy component tank, the low-removal device is provided with a condensing pipe, each condensing pipe is provided with a flower plate on both sides, the lowest point between the flower plates is connected to a light component outlet, the light component outlet is connected to a light component tank, the low-removal device is provided with a gas phase outlet connected to a cold trap, the bottom outlet of the cold trap is connected to the light component tank, and the gas phase outlet of the cold trap is connected to a vacuum system. The low-viscosity silicone oil after preheating is pressed into the low-removal device, and fine mist droplets are formed by the nozzles and fall down. In a vacuum environment, the low molecules in the mist droplets are easily volatilized, the volatilized low molecules are condensed into liquid after passing through the holes of the flower plate and then immediately meeting the condensing pipe, and the liquid is collected in the light component tank, and the remaining non-condensed gas passes through the gas phase outlet and is cooled in the cold trap to reduce the gas pressure, so as to ensure the vacuum degree. The mist droplets remaining in the low-removal device are collected at the bottom and then collected in the heavy component tank. Through the atomization technology, the energy consumption problem in the silicone oil low-removal process can be greatly reduced, and the quality of the silicone oil is further improved.

[0011] The present application also provides a low-removal process method for ultra-low volatile silicone oil by using the low-removal device.

[0012] (1) Silicone oil preheating: the low-viscosity silicone oil is preheated and then enters the distribution pipe.

[0013] (2) Low-removal: the low-viscosity silicone oil after preheating is sprayed from the nozzles in the distribution pipe to form mist oil droplets in the low-removal device, the gaseous low molecules in the oil droplets are volatilized under high temperature and high vacuum conditions, and the oil droplets flow into the heavy component tank from the bottom outlet of the low-removal device.

[0014] In the step (1), the temperature of the low-viscosity silicone oil after preheating is 130 to 220℃.

[0015] In the step (2), the nozzles are 2 to 10 groups, the particle size of the mist oil droplets realized by the nozzles is 2 to 10μm, and the flow rate of the mist oil droplets sprayed from the nozzles is 140 to 200kg / h.

[0016] In the step (2), the vacuum degree in the low-removal device is 10 to 50Pa, and the material temperature is 140 to 240℃.

[0017] In the low-removal process of the present application, the process of the low-molecule system also includes the following steps: the volatilized gaseous low molecules pass through the flower plate and then meet the condensing pipe to be condensed into liquid and then flow into the light component tank from the bottom of the low-removal device; the remaining high-temperature non-condensed gas passes through the gas phase pipe and then enters the cold trap to be cooled, so as to reduce the absolute pressure and ensure the high vacuum degree. The condensing pipe is connected to 10 to 20℃ circulating water, and the cold trap is connected to -15 to -5℃ chilled water.

[0018] The silicon oil will have small molecular weight siloxane ring body and short chain removed in the low removal process. The higher the molecular weight, the higher the boiling point, and the more difficult to remove. After the conventional low removal method, part of the small molecular weight siloxane ring body and short chain are removed, but the siloxane ring body and short chain that cannot be removed by the method are still present. These siloxane molecules have relatively slightly larger molecular weight and higher boiling point.

[0019] The present application disperses the silicon oil into oil droplets through the nozzle, increases the specific surface area of the silicon oil, and rapidly condenses the just removed gaseous low molecules into liquid state through the built-in condenser tube of the low removal equipment, and reduces the gas pressure to form high vacuum by reducing the temperature of the high-temperature non-condensable gas through the cold trap. The low removal equipment itself does not need to pass through the heat conducting oil and does not need the motor, thereby saving energy and reducing consumption. Finally, the volatile matter in the silicon oil is ≤2.00% (200℃*4h), preferably ≤1.0% (200℃*4h), and more preferably ≤0.10% (200℃*4h), thereby preparing the ultra-low volatile silicon oil.
