Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of efficient degradation and resource utilization of sulfur hexafluoride, and specifically relates to a method and device for synthesizing CF4 by activating SF6 with a two-stage dielectric barrier discharge. Background Art

[0002] Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-flammable. It is a synthetic fluoride with excellent electrical insulation and arc extinguishing properties, and is often used in electrical insulation equipment. In recent years, with the rapid development of the power industry, the use of SF6 has increased year by year, but every year the power system will cause a large amount of SF6 gas to be discharged due to equipment maintenance and replacement. Due to its octahedral molecular structure and extremely stable, it is difficult to degrade naturally in the atmosphere. As a strong greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect potential is 23,500 times that of CO2. With the introduction of the dual carbon policy, the degradation of SF6 has become imperative.

[0003] At present, the degradation treatment of SF6 mainly includes: thermal catalytic degradation, photocatalytic degradation and plasma degradation. The plasma degradation method uses the high-energy electrons and active particles in the plasma to collide with the SF6 gas molecules, which can dissociate them in a short time. According to the different ways of plasma generation, it can be divided into radio frequency discharge, electron beam discharge, microwave discharge and dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Dielectric barrier discharge plasma uses the electrodes and insulating media to continuously discharge, break down and block to produce a large amount of active substances. As a low-temperature plasma, it has many advantages such as convenient and flexible equipment, mild reaction conditions, easy control, high energy efficiency and safe and reliable operation. It is widely used to treat waste gas.

[0004] In recent years, carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) has been widely used in various electronic industries, such as semiconductor manufacturing and refrigeration. The traditional method of synthesizing CF4 generally has problems such as harsh reaction conditions, low efficiency, high energy consumption and high cost. At present, the methods for preparing CF4 mainly include direct fluorination of alkanes, direct fluorocarbon synthesis and hydrofluoromethane fluorination. The direct fluorination of alkanes is the earliest method used to prepare fluoroalkanes in industry. At present, the process is relatively mature and the operation is simple, but the reaction process is difficult to control, the product is complex and the yield is low. The direct fluorocarbon synthesis method is to use carbon to react with fluorine gas. Although the yield is high, there is a great safety risk, and some special means are needed to control the reaction conditions. The hydrofluoromethane fluorination method is simple to synthesize CF4, but the synthesis cost is large and it is difficult to apply on a large scale. The above methods have harsh reaction conditions, low yield, high cost and safety issues. At present, there is an urgent need for a safe and reliable, mild reaction conditions, high yield, high efficiency and low cost green synthesis technology to solve such problems.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] 1. Fill the discharge region of the coaxial DBD reaction tube of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11 with catalyst γ-Al2O3, add condensing medium ethylene glycol aqueous solution into the first-stage condenser 13, so that the condensing temperature of the first-stage condenser 13 is -60°C, and add liquid nitrogen into the second-stage condenser 15, so that the condensing temperature of the second-stage condenser 15 is -150°C.

[0046] 2. According to the connection relationship of the above devices (such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, assemble and connect the two-stage dielectric barrier discharge device for activating SF6 to synthesize CF4.

[0047] 3. Open the argon gas cylinder 4, the second pressure reducing valve 6 and the gas mixer 7, close the valve on the tail gas pipe 18, and pass argon gas to test the air tightness of the device to prevent the leakage of toxic gas during the reaction from causing harm to the staff and ensure that the reaction is carried out stably and orderly. After the test is completed, close the argon gas cylinder 4, the second pressure reducing valve 6 and the gas mixer 7.

[0048] 4. Set the input power of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11 to 100 W, and set the input power of the second-stage DBD plasma reactor 12 to 100 W. Turn on the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11 and the second-stage DBD plasma reactor, and the temperatures in the coaxial DBD reaction tubes of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11 and the second-stage DBD plasma reactor 12 begin to rise, respectively. After a period of time, the temperatures in the coaxial DBD reaction tubes of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11 and the second-stage DBD plasma reactor 12 tend to stabilize at 105° C. and 115° C., respectively.

[0049] 5. Open the valves on the pipelines connecting the inlet of the sulfur hexafluoride gas cylinder 1, the first pressure reducing valve 3, the argon gas cylinder 4, the second pressure reducing valve 6, the gas mixer 7, the first DBD plasma reactor 11 and the second DBD plasma reactor 11, and the valve on the tail gas pipe 18. The sulfur hexafluoride gas in the sulfur hexafluoride gas cylinder 1 and the argon gas in the argon gas cylinder 4 enter the gas mixer 7, are mixed evenly in the gas mixer 7, and then enter the coaxial DBD reaction tube of the first DBD plasma reactor 11. The amount of the sulfur hexafluoride gas and the argon gas introduced is accurately controlled by the electromagnetic flowmeter and the electromagnetic valve connected to the outlet of the gas mixer 7, so as to control the concentration of SF6 introduced into the first DBD plasma reactor 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flow rate of sulfur hexafluoride gas is controlled to be 6 mL / min, the flow rate of argon gas is controlled to be 294 ml / min, and the concentration of SF6 is 2%. SF6 and Ar are directly connected to two channels of the gas distributor to form a mixed gas inside the gas mixer 7. The output flow rate of the mixed gas is 300 mL / min, and the output flow rate is accurately controlled by an electromagnetic flowmeter and then sent to the first-stage DBD plasma reactor.

[0051] 6. In the coaxial DBD reaction tube of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor 11, argon gas is ionized to generate plasma, and sulfur hexafluoride gas is ionized into fluorine atoms and low-fluorine sulfides (such as SF5, SF4, etc.) after plasma activation. The generated fluorine atoms and low-fluorine sulfides further react with oxygen and silicon dioxide to generate fluorine-containing small molecules, etc., and the fluorine-containing small molecules, etc. enter the coaxial DBD of the second-stage DBD plasma reactor 12.

[0052] 7. After the first-level DBD plasma reactor 11 discharges for 15 minutes, open the carbon dioxide cylinder 8 and the third pressure reducing valve 10, and the carbon dioxide enters the coaxial DBD of the second-level DBD plasma reactor 12, and reacts with the fluorine-containing small molecules in the coaxial DBD of the second-level DBD plasma reactor 12 to generate CF4 gas.

[0053] The mixed gas discharged from the outlet of the secondary DBD plasma reactor was detected by a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, and the obtained gas chromatogram was as follows: Figure 2 As shown by Figure 2 It can be seen that CF4 gas does exist in the mixed gas. In addition to CF4 gas, there are also SOF2, SOF4, C4F2, SO2, CH3F, SiF4, and SF4.

[0054] 8. The mixed gas composed of the generated CF4 gas and other gas products (SiF4, SOF2, SOF4 and SO2, etc.) enters the first condenser for condensation, and part of the fluorine-containing acidic waste gas (such as SOF2, SOF4) is condensed into liquid, and the liquid fluorine acidic waste enters the waste liquid pool 14 for collection.

[0055] 9. The remaining mixed gas enters the second condenser for condensation, and the CF4 gas is condensed into liquid, and the liquid CF4 enters the CF4 collection tank 16 for collection.

[0056] 10. When it is necessary to stop the reaction, close the sulfur hexafluoride gas cylinder 1 and the first pressure reducing valve 3. Ten minutes later, close the first DBD plasma reactor 11, the second DBD plasma reactor 12, the carbon dioxide gas cylinder 8 and the third pressure reducing valve 10, and continue to introduce argon gas to drive out the mixed gas in the coaxial DBD reaction tube of the first DBD plasma reactor 11 and the second DBD plasma reactor 12. Ten minutes later, close the first condenser 13, the second condenser 15, the argon gas cylinder 4 and the second pressure reducing valve 6.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] Compared with Example 1, the input power of the primary DBD plasma reactor is changed, and the output flow rate of the mixed gas is changed to 150 mL / min. The SF6 concentration in the mixed gas discharged from the outlet of the primary DBD plasma reactor is detected by a gas chromatograph. The degradation rate of SF6 is calculated according to the SF6 concentration detected at the outlet of the primary DBD plasma reactor. The data graph of the change of the SF6 degradation rate with the change of the input power of the primary DBD plasma reactor is shown in Table 1 below:

[0059] Table 1 Effect of input power of first-stage DBD plasma reactor on SF6 degradation rate

[0060]

[0061] It can be seen from Table 1 that with the increase of the input power of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor, the SF6 degradation rate also increases. When the input power of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor reaches 100W, the SF6 degradation rate reaches 99.8%, which is close to complete degradation.

[0062] In addition, the gas chromatograph is used to detect the mixed gas discharged from the outlet of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor. The obtained chromatogram is as follows: Figure 3 As shown by Figure 3 It can be seen that the main components of the mixed gas discharged from the outlet of the first-stage DBD plasma reactor are SO2, SO2F2, SOF2, SOF4, SiF4, etc. These substances are speculated to be low-fluorine sulfides produced by the degradation of sulfur hexafluoride and fluorine atoms reacting with silicon dioxide or oxygen atoms to obtain fluorine-containing small molecules.

[0063] Example 4

[0064] Compared with Example 1, the input power of the secondary DBD plasma reactor is changed, and the CF4 concentration in the mixed gas discharged from the outlet of the secondary DBD plasma reactor is detected by a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. The yield of CF4 is calculated based on the CF4 concentration detected at the outlet of the secondary DBD plasma reactor. The data graph of the change of the CF4 yield with the change of the input power of the secondary DBD plasma reactor is shown in Table 2 below:

[0065] Table 2 Effect of input power of two-stage DBD plasma reactor on CF4 yield

[0066] Power input power(W) <![CDATA[CF4 yield (%)]]> 60 7.6 70 14.7 80 19.3 90 25.1 100 29.4

[0067] It can be seen from Table 2 that with the increase of the input power of the secondary DBD plasma reactor, the CF4 yield also increases. When the input power of the secondary DBD plasma reactor reaches 100W, the CF4 yield reaches 29.4%, which is quite considerable.
